[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.

Mothdrives aren't instantaneous, so that's something. Jedao resolves to pry further some other time when Abel isn't feeling like garbage.

"Would you rather go back there? Only I might have to call someone stronger to carry you in a way that feels dignified when you're conscious."

"I can make the trip tomorrow probably, take the lift. Don't really feel like doing a lot right now and I'd prefer to do it by myself." Though he is a little curious why he was brought here instead of his own room.

"Is there a reason why I'm in here anyways?"

"I...well, we didn't know each other. I didn't want to take you there if it wasn't comforting, and if it was comforting, then...I wasn't sure a stranger being there, without permission, would be...good."

That makes sense. He supposes it was nice that at least something was done for his own comfort. "My room is small, but it doesn't really hurt me like I've heard some people's cabin's do." A little cramped for space, but at least familiar if not nostalgic in that 'I left but this was at least the only place I could be myself' kind of way. It had been a shelter and a work space for so long even if the door that went nowhere was there as if his father could come knock any minute.

"But I can appreciate your approach, I was just curious."

"I overthink things a lot," Jedao admits. "If you want to go back there now, I can call somebody. Zerxus maybe. He could probably lift four guys our size at once."

Might be a nice moment on a very shitty day.

"You say that as if it's a strange thing to do." He teases, knowing that he does the same thing. It wasn't uncommon to see him walking the hall with a distant look on his face. He's going to run into someone one of these days and it's going to be embarrassing. He had almost tripped over Pyotr that one day in the hall, but at least he'd said something before it happened.

"As tempting as that sounds, I think I'll just wait until tomorrow, go myself. A walk would do me good if I can manage. Maybe I can find some other reason to be toted around though, I'll have to remember his name."

"He's so hot," Jedao confirms, sagely. "He's the guy with the curly horns."

Abel must have at least seen him around in the dining hall a few times.

"Is there anybody you want me to call in the meantime, to come see you? Or just let them know how you're doing?"

Re: post murder spam

"I think I have seen him around. Took me a minute to get passed the horns. But, sixty-seconds isn't that long."

His expression shifts at the next question, absently biting the scar on his lower lip as he thinks about it.

He hadn't had anyone to really call before. He'd like to think they wouldn't mind, that it was important to let them know. Quietly, he glances around before realizing his communicator is still in his pocket, checking it. He tries to keep the look of relief off his face but, there is a message there already, Fitz.

"I'll, um...I'll reach out myself, when you leave? I should probably try and sleep, but I don't get much anyways, so it might take me a while." He can send some things out, or finalize that gym notice he'd been working on. It might be a good idea to check the network too. He hadn't done that yet.

There was some hope in his mind that this had passed through the ship quietly, but it won't take long for him to realize that it definitely hadn't. He's not going to actually go to sleep for hours after this and end up exhausting himself most likely.

"Is that a gentle for me to give you some privacy now?" Jedao asks, but wryly, not offended in the slightest.

Re: post murder spam

He looks up from his entirely too jumbled and disconnected plans attempting to cut through the pounding headache. "I- Maybe?"

He feels even more awkward now, this thumb swiping at a smudge on the comm screen. "Thank you though, really. I've had to carry someone unconscious and I can't imagine its any easier when they're dead. I appreciate the effort, and sticking around to talk." He'd have to do this sometime later too, in better circumstances.

"It was really nice to finally meet you."

Re: post murder spam

[deuceoftears]

"You too," Jedao says gently, not awkward at all. "Drink your tea. And call me if you want anything else delivered, alright?"

Re: post murder spam

And he'd totally forgotten about it, which is fine by him since it's definitely not quite so hot any more. He makes a point to pick it up, won't forget it if he's holding it, though he probably won't be making any calls, it's a nice gesture.

"I will! Drinking it, right now. I won't forget. Thank you."
