[His eyes instantly roll heavenward at that.] Yeah. Riveting experience. We're the best of friends now. He actually snarks back now.

[Actually, that totally counts as a win, but he can't say he always finds their one sided conversations the best even if he likes the guy. But he's on board with talking about anything just to not think about what is going on.]

Right. I'll be sure and be gone before you get here.

[Snorting softly at the camera, he tries to ignore that wink and stands there looking rather irritated, arms crossed over his chest. He wishes he knew what the hell was going on...

And even when he hears the door open behind him, he doesn't feel any better with the circumstances beyond relief. His posture is rigid and his shoulders only relax slightly when his eyes fall on Jim.]

Is anyone else here?
