WHO: Henry Foss and Ashley Magnus
WHAT: Hanging around, 'working'...
WHEN: Late evening
WHERE: The Sanctuary
RATING: TBD
STATUS: In Progress

Henry hadn't been too keen on the HAP thing from the start. Who would be? But he'd been getting used to it, learning and gaining the all-important control which made it bearable. He'd been really good at it. And then this, and suddenly Henry felt completely shaken, like he'd been pushed just as he'd found his balance and now was tottering unsteadily again. Tesla had said it was this place, some weird astrological thing that was probably inevitable given the two moons, but Henry couldn't help but wonder if he'd just worked a little harder, had fought a bit harder to keep control... Perhaps it wouldn't have happened.

But that wasn't something he could vocalise to most people, so he'd just shut up. He'd taken to working late into the night, his face lit up with the blue light of the computer monitor. There was still this weird glitch with the PDAs, and a part of him felt like if he could fix that then perhaps it'd go a tiny way into making up for the things he'd done while transformed. Plus, he was getting a bit sick with random text messages describing the messy personal lives of the rest of the population. Those people seemed to discuss their sex lives weirdly frequently.

He was eating a sandwich without really tasting it, his gaze fixed on the screen before him, another two monitors glowing on his right as they peddled through some operation or another. A cold cup of coffee was hidden between pieces of paper covered in his messy scrawl. Henry was so lost in his work he almost didn't notice the blonde girl wandering into the room. In fact, it was only when the footsteps were within a few feet of him that he looked sharply up, an arrow of pain shooting across his neck.

"Ash," the Werewolf smiled across at the young woman wandering towards him, slumping back on his chair and spinning it to face her. "What do I owe the pleasure? You better come bearing gifts."

There were three things every person who ever dealt with Henry Foss needed to know. The first was that you did not question his genius. The second was that you couldn't drop hints and hope he caught on. And the third was that you didn't interrupt him when he was working just because you felt like it. Now out of those three things, Ashley was more likely than most to get away with the third - at least in her own mind - given their friendship combined with her propensity to break any and every rule she was told simply to see if she could. However as a general rule of thumb even she did her best not to disturb him when he was busy. The only problem being that Henry was almost always busy. So it quickly became a situation where she had to figure out if whatever he was working on was important enough to qualify as 'work' or whether she could manage to pull him away from it long enough to remember that he needed to interact with the world around him once in a while.

The current situation, after a quick study by the blond, seemed to fall into the latter category so Ashley didn't bother trying to buy some time. She simply shrugged and dropped down into the chair he'd offered her, bright blue eyes sweeping over the special sort of mess that was Henry's work area, before casting him a small smile. "What?" she questioned, "a girl can't stop by just to see how things are going?" Her tone was light but it was clear there was more to her visit than what she was claiming.

She lasted all of fifteen seconds before letting out a puff of air and her shoulders slumped a bit. "I am really bad at subtle snooping," she admitted with a soft snort of self-derision. "I was worried about you. You and I haven't exactly been the most talkative lately and, with everything else that had happened, I just thought..." She shrugged, hugging one knee close to her chest and resting her foot on the seat of her chair, "I guess I figured maybe letting you isolate yourself is not the smartest idea to ever grace these halls."
