The door opens, and Chase enters the space, a deep-blue coloured file (tox screen tests) in his hand. There is a slightly contemplative (maybe even preoccupied) expression on his face as though he's thinking about something that is taking up quite a bit of his attention span, but once he recognizes his surroundings, he accepts where he is and makes

"Penny for your thoughts?" ask another man at the bar. This man, it should be said, is actually British.

[callitavesper]

"Oh." He tilts his head. "Well. In that case I'd say pick someplace more secluded."

[not_british]

Chase half-laughs at that. "Yeah. Definitely a good idea," he agrees. "It won't be happening again anyway."

It's getting too complicated, too uncomfortable.

"Oh -- I'm Chase, by the way. Robert Chase."

[callitavesper]

"James," he replies quickly. "And you never know. It might happen again. Just keep that in mind when it does."

[not_british]

Chase nods. "I'll definitely be sure to do that if it happens again," he says. "I'm hoping it won't though. Wouldn't be good for my boss to...catch it again."

He cringes a bit, making a face.

[callitavesper]

"Your boss caught you?"

It's one thing if it were just a security camera, or a janitor--but your boss?

Bond's just lucky he's not any of his previous incarnations.

[not_british]

"Nothing serious happened" -- yet -- "but...I guess it was pretty obvious where it was going."

There is definitely more embarrassed cringing on Chase's part as he shakes his head. He isn't even sure why he's telling someone he doesn't even know all this. Maybe it's the coffee. Yes. Definitely the coffee.

[ooc: I'm going to have to beg slowtime, if that's okay? ...I must sleep! Also, thank you so much for tagging! ♥ your James Bond!]

[callitavesper]

He frowns. "I hope your boss didn't react too poorly."

M'd most likely bite his head off for that sort of thing.

[ ooc: I was about to ask the same! :D You're welcome, and thanks. :D ]

[not_british]

Chase blinks.

"Actually, his reaction was surprising. He didn't really seem to care at all."

[callitavesper]

James raises an eyebrow. "Is your boss usually that laid back?"

If only Bond knew who he was talking about.

[not_british]

Oh, if only.

"No," he says. "Not at all. Usually enjoys making people's lives miserable, really."

But he's a damn good doctor, nevertheless.

[callitavesper]

"He sounds like my boss."

[not_british]

"Oh yeah?"

He gives him a sympathetic smile. "M'sorry."

[callitavesper]

A shrug. "She does what she must to get the best results out of us."

[not_british]

Chase's smile turns into more of a smirk.

"Guess I could say the same of House, then."

[callitavesper]

"Which line of work are you in? Medicine?" He nods to the files.
