It's been weeks since they've spoken, let alone seen one another. Things have been...weird. At least for the lawyer they have. When people get past the sharp teeth and sharp suit and get into the weird gooey parts of his existence? It tends to make him withdraw. Worried now that that person's got dirt. Blackmail. Something over his head that COULD cost him his life. Or worse, his job.
So when he sees the contact icon for Adia's PINpoint appear on his datachron with a bleep, Shark turns it over so the screen is facedown on his desk. Busy. Doesn't wanna think about it. Can't afford a distraction like this right now. It's probably nothing.
...It takes him about five minutes before the clone finally relents and sets down his pen, pushes aside the paperwork and unlocks his chron. He reads silently, eyes moving left to right and his lips pressed into a thin line.
It takes another five minutes before he taps out a reply. And then ANOTHER five to hit send.
haha special whaaaaaat as if lol
That's all he sends at FIRST. But then he stares at that flippant response, one single line with no capital letters, no punctuation, no sincerity. It's not long before his thumbs are moving again.
Don't do anything stupid okay. You ever do that knife-in-the-sleeve trick i mentioned? Lifesaver, my dude. Anyway just keep ur head down and stay in the med bay. Fix people up but don't go running into shit and getting kidnapped too or getting your legs blown off or something else fucked up along those lines!! Just do what ur paid to do!!
And then he stares at THAT message after it's sent. Wow, he sounds like a dick. He IS a dick, but that's not the point. Does it come across that he's just saying this to show concern? Probably not. Okay, one more message after that one.
