[In a very serious, business tone, Abel's answering machine sounds after any attempted calls that aren't responded to right away.]

You've reached Abel. I am not available at the moment, but I'll get back to you as soon as I can. If this is urgent, leave the line open.

And if this is Fitz I hope you're having a good day.

[He did not in fact wait to feel less like shit, Fitz. Would you expect any different?]

I'd have preferred to die in a dogfight but someone had other plans for me apparently.

Reading your texts counts as reading right?

Re: series of texts one after the other

[everythinglost]

Exactly why you shouldn't read them.

Right now.

You can know they're there.

To cherish.

Once you're not sick.

[He could do that when he was sick too, he's sure.]

Cherishing them now makes me feel less like shit. might feel like death, rather not behave like it.

Re: series of texts one after the other

[everythinglost]

you can cherish them in your heart without reading them. just knowing they're there. written by my own hand.

how could someone behave like death?

swing around farming tools? skeleton orgies?

More like do nothing and waste away.

Re: series of texts one after the other

[everythinglost]

saying that doing nothing means wasting away is a crime.

do you want to do crime?

is not being killed enough criminal activity for at least a week?

doing nothing is good for you.

it builds character.

[Staring at the communicator for a lot longer than he really needed to, he sets it down. And then picks it up shortly after. Someone isn't in the mood for character building.]

If someone fights in the gym while I'm out I'm blaming you for it.

Re: series of texts one after the other

i'll blame the people who decided to get into a fight.

if you have to do something constructive with your time you can always listen to music.

I feel like that's a trap. I was working on a design the other day and I think I listened to the same song for four hours straight.

Re: series of texts one after the other

[everythinglost]

not being a military person, that sounds more like 'the point' then 'a trap'.

[He is definitely missing the point. That moment when he's not spending hours worrying about something in his head while he works but actually enjoying the task, listening to something enjoyable. He feels like he's done something wrong.]

Is it? I've never just lost track of time like that. It didn't even feel like it had been that long.

Re: series of texts one after the other

Yeah, that's normal. You were also doing other work, but the principle of music filling time still stands.
