Taking a very deep breath, Karla knocked on Tony's door. It had been several weeks since their, ahh, discussion and Karla wasn't entirely sure how things stood between them. Likely...not well.
Which was rather unfortunate, considering she had a favor to ask of him.
Hopefully that favor would go a ways towards soothing that rift, too. "Uhh, Tony?" she asked, poking her head through the door. "It's Karla. May I come in a moment?"
"I have a favor to ask of you," Karla said simply, standing in his doorway and not coming in any further. "I've been talking to people about Topher after you and I spoke. And...it's become very apparent that I owe him an apology."
Mother Night, how she loathed those words. But when an apology was due, she sucked it up and dealt.
It had been a week since, well, the crazy weekend, and Billy hadn't really had a chance to talk to Tony without alcohol being involved. So, he decided to see if Tony was in his room, and when he saw him at his computer, he hesitated for a moment before knocking on the door. "Hey," he said. "Am I interrupting anything?"

"Only a little bit of it's mad," Tony promised solemnly.

And yet.
"Hey Tony, whatcha doing?" he called from his room.

"What--" Topher started, then thought better of it and typed out a response instead.
