"Xanax," she hummed and nodded back, "good choice. I like Oxy too. Not for any actual pain-related reason, but if I need to just not feel my body for a little while it's a good one. However," and she was suddenly regretting not bringing her vape with her but it was probably not a good idea to get high in a swimming pool anyhow, "I have prescription marijuana. Which for some reason apparently means that I literally never run out here. It's a great loophole." If it was a loophole. Maybe there was just a ghost doctor hanging around filling everyone's prescriptions for them. Though honestly the idea of a ghost doctor was terrifying and she thought that magic was a much more comforting thought.
She watched him right himself and pushed off the edge of the pool, bobbing on her toes until she was deep enough that she couldn't reach the bottom anymore. It was far and it wasn't difficult and the six-feet marker was still at least a full arm's length away from her. At least. But it was nice to just trust the buoyancy of the water for a bit and lightly tread there, a little closer to Eddie than she had been before.
"I'm sure the cubicle life is nice and stable and comforting for a lot of folks," she said, dipping her head back so she could slick her hair into place properly. "But me and… structure," she dragged the word out a little bit, hitting the consonants a little too sharply, "don't get along super well. It's like… even the routine here, despite the fact that we have built-in chaos and a bunch of different people who would probably never consciously choose to exist in the same space as each other… I get so bored so fast. And then I wonder why I'm bored because the moments of quiet should be a relief. But I just have to fill them up with noise."
And that was probably something that should be psychoanalyzed. But not today.
"Anyway," she shook her hair, a whole chunk of fringe just obstinate falling into her face again. "You look like you did a fair amount of wife-avoiding, I have to say, and I would very much like to hear that story if you would like to tell it."
