*The front door opens, and in comes Andrew. He glances around the room, and apparently doesn't see whoever it is he was looking for.*

*A quiet word to Bar later, he's sitting at a corner table with an oversized mug of hot cocoa with little marshmallows floating in it.*

"Oh dear," says a familiar voice from nearby. "Andrew? Is that you?"

[stilljustandrew]

*He looks up, and manages a small smile.*

...Aunt Annie.

Hey.

[stubborn_annie]

Annie nods and settles down at one of the chairs at the table. "Hallo, Andrew. That face of yours looks like it's been more than a long day, if you don't mind my saying so."

[stilljustandrew]

Yeah.

*Very quietly.*

It has.

[silver_flecks]

"WhaT's Up, TuRtLe DuCk?"

It's almost tender, as she sits cross-legged on his table and peers down at him.

[stilljustandrew]

You are.

*He leans back, and raises his mug to her in a toast.*

Hi, lady.

"CoUlD BE DoWn. Or InVeRTed. It MiGht Be Bad FoR The SpInE."

*Andrew manages to shrug and drink hot chocolate at the same time.*

So are you here ... um, officially? Or just to say hi?

John wandered down the stairs, saw Andrew, went !!! in his mind and came and sat across from him, a cup of coffee in his hand. "Hey man, long time no see."

[stilljustandrew]

... Crichton.

*Andrew looks up, too off-guard to pretend that everything's fine.*

[i_heart_winona]

John immediately set the cup down. "Right, Andrew. What happened?"

His news about the door and Zhaan can wait.

[stilljustandrew]

I --

*He bites his lower lip. Why isn't this getting any easier to tell?*

Meg and I, we ... we broke up. Last week.

Another mug of cocoa slides onto the table across from him. This is followed by a girl in jeans and an oversized tshirt sitting down. "Hey. Haven't seen you in a while. How have you been?"

[stilljustandrew]

... Makita. Hey.

*He tries a smile. It isn't very convincing.*

[runmakitarun]

She considers him for a moment, and eventually says, "Haven't seen you in a while." Not sense the thing with Kira, really.

[stilljustandrew]

Yeah.

How've you been?
