Sokolov has... taken ill. [Yep, that's what she's going to call it. Taken ill. Not "randomly passed the fuck out in the hallway outside her door" or anything. Taken ill sounds less ridiculous.]

If you had any plans with him for the immediate future, they will need to be rescheduled.

This includes the self defense class I have scheduled this week.

[She gets the feeling this message should be longer. But there's really nothing else to say, is there? So she doesn't.]

You didn't get him drunk, did you? [Yes, that is his first assumption.]
unmakeme: (rock steady)

[personal profile] unmakeme 2013-07-19 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
That's not why he's passed out.

[She wouldn't be telling the network about that, she'd just pour black coffee and boiled potatoes into him and wait for it to pass.]
unmakeme: (really now)

I know what it looks like when someone drinks themselves into a coma. It's happened around me more than once. This isn't it.

[She and Sokolov drink, and if he can't make it back to his own room, he passes out where he drops. But he hasn't yet been entirely catatonic.

She checks.

It's part of caring.]

As long as you're sure. He should be fine. The same thing happened to me not that long ago, was lucky I was just in my room. Don't think anyone noticed. [That's a positive thing in his mind.]
unmakeme: (blank slate)

[He might say it dismissively, but Natasha catches it.]

You think it's a good thing that no one noticed you weren't around?
themissingpiece: (I can trip you up just by)

[personal profile] themissingpiece 2013-07-19 02:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't want people hovering while I'm out.
unmakeme: (really now)

[personal profile] unmakeme 2013-07-19 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Why not? You think it's better to be entirely alone and defenseless?

[personal profile] themissingpiece 2013-07-19 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
It's safer. I don't do well waking up.
unmakeme: (rock steady)

[personal profile] unmakeme 2013-07-19 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
All the more reason to have someone there.

If it's someone I trust.

So it's not that you don't want anyone. It's just that you think everyone here would do more harm than good.

[She gets that. It's a good reason to want to be on your own. It's the mentality she would have had, a decade ago. Other people are liabilities, complications. Trouble.]

Not everyone but, yeah, most people. If I wake up crowded or feeling trapped things can go wrong.
unmakeme: (i'll persuade you)

[personal profile] unmakeme 2013-07-20 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
I know the feeling. Well, if you ever go missing, I'll check the trunk. But if I find you in a heap on your floor, I'll just leave you there.

[personal profile] themissingpiece 2013-07-20 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Or roll me into my cabin and shut the door. Wouldn't want anyone to trip. [sorta a joke, he's smiling anyway.]
unmakeme: (go on. impress me)

[personal profile] unmakeme 2013-07-22 10:52 am (UTC)(link)
[She obliges him with a little chuckle.]

Anything else? Stick your wallet in your mouth? Towel under your ass?
themissingpiece: (But something lurks unseen)

[personal profile] themissingpiece 2013-07-23 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, something like that. Strip me down, toss me in the shower, I'll be fine.
unmakeme: (smile)

When men go for the tragic past angle, the objective is usually to get me out of my clothes. I think you're coming at this one sideways.
