it's not odd at all and you know why.
leave him alone, okay?

[kubricks]

[She knows full well why.]

I think it's a little unreasonable to expect me to not interact with a coworker.

What if something happens and we have to work together?

[They're on separate teams at the moment, but that doesn't mean it'll stay that way. Team rosters can change, things can be consolidated.]

[nutkick]

it's perfectly reasonable.
find someone else to toy with.

[ it's not that complicated, is it? ]

[kubricks]

[Nope, not complicated at all. But she's going to continue to be a pain about it.]

It is when the person in question hasn't asked me to leave him alone. And approached me the last time.

[Admittedly she'd put herself somewhere where she'd be easy to spot and converse with if someone chose to, but that's still mostly true.]

[nutkick]

[ fucking hell. he sighs, not really annoyed, but just tired. not that makima can see/hear it. ]

i know.
what a terrible time for him to act stupid.

[kubricks]

That sounds like something he'd say.

[nutkick]

yeah, well-
here's to hoping the next kaiju will eat you before i do.

[kubricks]

[There's a lot she can derive from that statement. She's also of the opinion that eating one's coworker would probably be frowned on here, but who knows?]

We'll see.

If you're done with the previous topic, I have a question. It's not about anyone here and doesn't affect our situation. It's just something I'd like confirmed.

[nutkick]

[ bold of her to assume that would stop him if it's the only way to protect aki and his team from her. ]

... okay.
what is it?

[kubricks]

Have you been taking good care of the dogs?

[nutkick]

[ it would've been a different answer if he was brought here only a few minutes later— but all he can remember is rushing home to check on the apartment with nayuta. in theory, the pets are fine in his timeline.

and yet— he couldn't shake off that gut-wrenching feeling that something was not right. ]

i've done my best.

[kubricks]

Thank you.

[nutkick]

[ this is weird. this feels weird ...

he ends the conversation here. ]
