[ It's about 8am right now, and if Tyr's messy hair is any indication, he's just waking up. He looks at the device with bleary eyes. ]
What is this doing on? [ He mumbles, then continues...without moving his lips: ] It can't have been broadcasting the inside of my drawer since Saturday...

I'm coming over.

Glancing down at it, he smiles. ]
Yeah... It's pretty nice. Did you go out and buy it just now?
[ At this early hour? ]

[She tries to focus more on the words actually coming out of his mouth, anyway. And that gets a bit of a smile out of her.]
Yeah, I did. So--you'd better wear it, too.

I will. You're wearing the coat I gave you, too, so it's only fair...
I need one anyway.

G-good. I mean, I wear it because I like it. And...
[And she turns to face him again, though her gaze is a little off to the side. If he's going to be thinking all of these things about her, she's not going to just ignore them.]
...I like it when you smile, too.

...I'm glad you like it. Both...
-This is wrong.
Anyway, I need to get cleaned up, so...

...I'll see you tomorrow.
[And abruptly, she turns around again and starts to head for the door.]

It's not- It's my fault.
Wait.
[ She shouldn't look that way; she has no reason to feel guilty. She's his best friend. It's hard to be open about what he's feeling, though. Really hard. ]

[Now she's getting confused. Did she say something wrong, she wonders?]
I'm not going to--that's why I should go, isn't it? You don't want me to hear what you're thinking...

She's right... [ But he doesn't let go of her hand yet. He looks down at it, actually. He wonders if she thinks she shouldn't hear what he's thinking because he's being honest... ]
