So how long does someone have to be missing from the City before you start wondering if they're not coming back?

I don't want to jump the gun and move out on my roommate, but the ticking's kind of a pain, you know?

What do you like?

[cold_dry_pieces]

Following my own logic? I like helping people who need my help.

[synanthrope]

Is that true?

[cold_dry_pieces]

Of course.

[synanthrope]

That's very generous.

Nothing to do with blood?

[cold_dry_pieces]

God no, I'm hideously squeamish. I hate blood.

Why do you ask?

[synanthrope]

Curiosity.

[cold_dry_pieces]

I deal with prostheses and PT, not surgery. The bloody part's all done with by the time I see my patients.

[synanthrope]

Well, you can show me, and then the ticking will go away.

[cold_dry_pieces]

For a while.

Which is, admittedly, the best one can hope for here.

[synanthrope]

It doesn't bother me much.

[cold_dry_pieces]

You're lucky. Or you just haven't let it get too bad.

[synanthrope]

I do have a roommate.

[cold_dry_pieces]

By choice? Or just because it's more or less necessary?

[synanthrope]

Because she lives where I once did.

[cold_dry_pieces]

What would you have done if no one did?

[synanthrope]

I would have lived there anyway.

[cold_dry_pieces]

Alone?

[synanthrope]

Yes. Of course. I'm not bothered by solitude.

[cold_dry_pieces]

Neither am I. Just irked by the noise.

[synanthrope]

Well, if company is the solution, then I can provide that.

[cold_dry_pieces]

I rarely say no to company.

[synanthrope]

Well, then, come to the garage.

[cold_dry_pieces]

All right.

[Here's the thing about Saya. She's a workaholic. So it doesn't matter what time he arrives at the Garage, because if it's before 1am and after 5am, she's there. She's impeccably dressed, as usual, her heels high as she sits at her desk, legs splayed in a way that's not quite natural.]
