OOM: Cell
It's been a couple of days. He's glad of it, though the boredom that's setting in is starting to worry him a little. Truth is though, sitting here reading has made him lethargic, to the point where he's not sure even the Other Guy could fight his way through.
Though that's ridiculous. So far, there hasn't been anything the Other Guy couldn't fight his way through. Still. He's supposed to be making an effort to live normally, isn't he? If only to prove to himself that he can. So he probably can't hide himself away in here forever.

He manages a real smile this time, small but definitely there.
'I'm not planning on doing anything that'll need it.'
no subject
Teasing, "Probably just as well." She isn't referring to what he probably thinks she is - the bar has two other rules besides 'no violence', after all. "But it's worth just asking her, if you do want something like that. It's not like you're in here for doing anything wrong, so she'll probably be nicer to you than she is to real rule-breakers."
no subject
Oh.
He shoots her a Look, but it's not altogether unamused.
'No need for that.'
no subject
She is the most innocent mutant ever! She swears!
...Totally not teasing him. At all. Nope.
no subject
'So, would you do a me a favour? Another one, I guess. Stick a note up to someone to drop by tomorrow, and see if I can get out?'
No guarantee he'll go, but it'll be reassuring to know the option's there.
no subject
"Sure," she says immediately. "Or I can let you out myself, if I'm in?"
no subject
'As long as I feel better.'
no subject
Entertaining as that would be. Although if she thinks he's hermiting in the cells, she might well try.
"Do you want anything, til then? I can go grab you more books and stuff, if you want."
no subject
A pause, and he meets her eyes for a second.
'Really. Thanks.'
He sounds awkward as hell saying it, but not because he doesn't mean it. Just because he needed the conversation at all.
no subject
"You're welcome," she tells him, and gives him a kiss to the cheek (not quite so hesitant as last time; just as brief) before she gets to her feet.
"See you around, then, I guess?"
no subject
He's folding himself inward again, arms still resting on his knees. But he tries another smile, because she really has helped a bit.
'Tomorrow, right?'
no subject
The front of the cell opens again to let her slip out; before she goes she gives him a bright, reassuring grin.
"Feel better," she adds with a wave, and vanishes to go write her note.
