Entrance post: Pleased

[obligatoryass]

After his first day at his new job, Logan's pleased.

Sure, it's a PA job. Sure, first days suck. Sure, being a production assistant is hardly glamorous or sexy, but it's keeping him busy, and that's good.

Plus, some of the extras are really hot. So there's that.

Tonight, he's just relaxing with some paradoxes and pondering the world of work.

"You look like you healed up okay. Or whatever."

Hodgins is standing at a slight distance from Logan's table, hands in his lab coat pockets. The look on his face, that he's trying to school, is fairly, What the hell, dude?

Hodgins has seen the Youtube video from Halloween. That fall looked like it had to have hurt.

Logan winces. "Yeah, you know. More or less. Mostly just sprained my ankle, got bruised up. Apparently what they say about falls when you're drunk is true - you're not alert enough to tense up."

"Yeah. You know that only works from a certain height, right?"

Above that height, no matter how limp you are, the result at the end of the fall is messy. Hodgins has seen the bodies.

"Dude. I don't mean to come down as the heavy, here, but what the hell were you thinking?"

It occurs to Hodgins that he is so getting old. But he doesn't really care.

"The balcony wasn't that high," he points out. "Thank God."

Logan shrugs. "Guess the operative part there was that I wasn't, so much. Thinking."

The last time they talked, it did not exactly go well.

But Meg Ford is just a little too polite to pass someone she knows without at least saying, "Good evening."

[obligatoryass]

Politeness goes a long way. Hopefully, so does Logan's good mood.

"Hey," he says, smiling. "I, um, I'm sorry I was so obnoxious, last time we talked. I was in a weird place that day."

Understatement. But he's in a better place today!

"It's all right," she says. "I wasn't exactly . . . that is, I was thinking about a lot of things. I'm sorry as well.

"You do seem . . . less . . ."

Meg is pretty sure the word she wants here is drunk.

". . . well, you seem to be having a better day."

Drunk would be the operative word. Self-pitying would be another good one. Or self-loathing. Whatever.

"Just finished my first day at a new job. So that's good. How about you? Less...thinky?"
