Yeah, well. Sometimes you need reminders to try harder.

And sometimes you need reminders that you don't need to tackle it all on your own.

[He opens his mouth - closes it.]

[Glances aside.]

...sorry.

Mm, I'm sorry too, I really didn't mean to lecture, but I do want to provide another perspective. What you want to do with it... that's up to you.

No, I just mean - you called me out here to talk about your plan, and instead you had to waste a bunch of time on my dumb stuff.

I don't feel like I wasted any time. I got to learn more about you and I think vice versa. To me, that's a very valuable use of my time.

...I mean. I guess. If that's your kinda thing.

I think it is.

[Fixes him with a searching kind of look for a second or two before he nods, a little uncertain.]

If you say so, dude.

[His head's still down on his arm, on the table; he makes no move to rise.]

...so when're we gonna start the one thing?

Oh- that's right, but you sure you wanna get into that? You seem pretty tired.

You seen this place?

I'm never gonna get less tired.

[ Laughs, taking his straw to poke Hurricane with. ]

You could be a little more refreshed though.

I'm okay.

[Give him a second. He rallies and makes himself sit upright again, with some effort.]

Oh- it's okay, it's okay. You can relax, I don't have anything to read yet. Just thoughts.

Yeah?

[He slumps again, some, but doesn't go all the way back down.]

What's up?

Well... can you tell me, as far as you know, the type of people who tend to go on, ah, field trips?

Uh. It's all over the place, honestly. Just, like - whoever's in the right place at the right time, I guess.

So something for the general public... And people are wary of texting, right?

Yeah. Pretty sure they use the phones to track us. Can probly read what's on there, too.

But meeting with someone in person first isn't always a possibility... Mm, alright.

That gives me a general guiding idea to work with.

Good luck, dude.

Thanks. I'll probably have to go through a few drafts of it though, but my main concern is getting something together before we need it.

When're you gonna get going?

Probably later today? I've also got to get going on buying furnishings for my room... or maybe an office extension entirely.

Typewriters are noisy.

Yeah? How noisy?
