Like they're not completely themselves?

[coy]

Exactly.

[immoderation]

In some ways I feel like I've flipped my switch. Except I obviously haven't.

[coy]

You were kind of... harsh.

[immoderation]

Unnecessarily so.

[coy]

I deserve it.

[sickbays]

Hey, Caroline, it's Leonard. Just wonderin' if you had a little free time in the next day or two?

[ A beat. ]

And maybe a sweet tooth? [ Since that's pretty important, too. ]

9.2 ● voice message

[coy]

[ and cue a cheery response!] I happen to have both. [ time and a sweet tooth.]

[sickbays]

[ Her cheer draws a breath of amusement from the doctor, one he doesn't try hiding. ]

Good thing. I don't know what I was gonna do with all this peach cobbler. [ Even if it's just one pan, it's a lot. ]

Don't want it to go bad, y'know.

[coy]

Peach cobbler? [ can you hear the excitement in her voice, right now?] You're not messing with me, right? Because... peach cobbler.

[sickbays]

Cross my heart. Real, honest-to-god cobbler.

[ After pining for "real food" for so long, he almost couldn't believe it himself when he found it among his monthly gifts. ]

So, this evening? It's nice enough, we could eat it outside.

[coy]

Yeah, definitely. I'll be there.

[immoderation]

No. You don't deserve that from anybody, Caroline. Least of all from me.

[poppycock]

It's going to be your birthday soon.

ophi / text.

[coy]

I know. [ can she sound glum over text? because if shee can, she does now.]

ophi / text.

[poppycock]

[ it's certainly a lackluster response, if not entirely obvious. ] Is there no fitting celebration in the works?

ophi / text.

[coy]

considering where we are? i'm going to be avoiding people for a month.

ophi / text.

[poppycock]

Ah yes, the changing of the signs already in effect. [ as if he didn't already figure. ]

ophi / text.

[coy]

what do you mean?

ophi / text.

[poppycock]

Well it's a pity you won't get the birthday you deserve, for now at least. However, I did acquire a gift for you.

ophi / text.

[coy]

What? Really?

ophi / text.

[poppycock]

Yes.

2/2 ophi / text.

[poppycock]

This is the part where you ask me what it is, when you can have it, etc.

ophi / text.

[coy]

What is it?

ophi / text.

[poppycock]

Well that would ruin the surprise. I could take you someplace to celebrate and let you open it yourself.
