Today or tomorrow?

[medeian]

We'll probably have more to talk about tomorrow, once we know exactly how one of these trials is going to go.

[factoring]

Fair enough. We'll see if the evidence reappears.

[medeian]

It's going to make things a lot more complicated if it doesn't.

[factoring]

We'll see how much they really want us to solve it.

[medeian]

They're probably ambivalent about it.

[factoring]

It doesn't really change things for them one way or another. We'll just have to deal with getting the wrong person. Assuming they tell us that much.

[medeian]

...I hadn't even thought about the possibility that they might not tell us if we got it right.

[horrible!]

[Sometimes we're forced to think about the worst case scenario]

I wouldn't worry about it until it comes to pass. There's enough to think about already.

[medeian]

...Thanks, but I'm probably going to worry no matter what.

[factoring]

Nothing I can do to stop you?

[medeian]

It'd be pretty cool if feelings just went away whenever you knew they were irrational, huh?

[factoring]

It would be useful if they worked that way.

[medeian]

Yeah. At any rate - you know. Thanks for the offer.

[She lightly nudges against her shoulder.]

I'm here whenever you need it.

[Though how helpful she can really be is up in the air.]
