[skepticalities]

Yeah. I get it.

[onlyoneof]

Good because you may have to remind me.

[skepticalities]

I will.

[onlyoneof]

[sighs]

Realistically speaking, I can't do anything. I can try things with the science I know, but her rules are completely different, and I'm not familiar enough with it to even speculate.

[skepticalities]

I know.

[onlyoneof]

So I'm just running in circles, hoping I'll hit something.

[skepticalities]

Then I'll run with you.

[onlyoneof]

I kinda need you rested.

[skepticalities]

My stamina is good.

[onlyoneof]

You're not gonna be able to keep up, but if you insist I can think out loud.

[skepticalities]

Oh no, I won't. But I can ask you questions and help you think it through.

[onlyoneof]

[kisses him very briefly, then stands up]

[skepticalities]

. . . let's get to work.

[onlyoneof]

[he goes back to drawing and using his laptop, thinking out loud... but it's not... anything that makes sense, just a lot of science babble]

[skepticalities]

[sits nearby and actually does converse with him, asking informed questions, stopping him to clarify when he's going too fast, occasionally leaning in to point something out on his nonsense sketches, etc.]

[onlyoneof]

[you are such a good boyfriend]

[skepticalities]

[of course.]

[onlyoneof]

[and nothing is clicking, but who's surprised?]

[skepticalities]

[is very patient with him anyway.]

[onlyoneof]

I have a better chance at figuring out time-travel.

[skepticalities]

Looks that way, yeah.

[onlyoneof]

Do you want some coffee?

[skepticalities]

I could go for some coffee right about now.

[onlyoneof]

I actually had a-- thing. Somewhere.

[skepticalities]

Hmm?
