New clothes were bliss. Music outside her own head was bliss. Waking up in a warm bed that didn't have bugs and being able to take a hot shower was absolute bliss. And the best part was that most of them time, they were completely alone here while everyone else worked things out. When she'd woken up, she'd gone through the notes the others had left, put away the mess Andy had left and aired the room out from smoke, then went down into the common room to crank the music.

She danced cheerily as she sang, a hairbrush held up like a microphone as she belted out the lyrics to a favorite pop song, her voice soaring with the music, letting it override the noise inside her mind. Loud as it was, she didn't hear when the door opened, and someone else came in.

Char slid into the chair opposite Ganesh at the table. "Four brothers -- two older, two younger -- a few aunts and uncles and a slew of cousins growing up. I haven't seen any of them in eight years, of course." And as much as she loved them and loved remembering them, it was bittersweet and not something she wanted to linger on.

"That's a good attitude, though, to still care about him even though it sounds like things ended badly." She hesitated, taking a sip of her drink before picking apart her muffin and popping a bit of it in her mouth to savor the sweetness. Once that was gone, she said, "Two questions, because the first you might not want to answer. Was Elena part of why you had to break up with him? And what's AG?"

	"She was, in a way. We had an open relationship and I thought that it was fine," Ganesh said bluntly. "It wasn't as fine as I thought." He paused, then said, "AG causes... memory loss." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I could look it up, but I don't want the noise," Char admitted with a tap against her temple. "I'm sorry to bring up bad memories." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's fine," he sighed. "I just don't talk of it often. There's nothing... to be done." Ganesh shrugged, then grinned, "Perhaps I ought to ask you to tell me one of your secrets." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I don't know how secret any of it is, but it's a detail, I guess. There are four of us. Mickey -- he's the Ace -- then Andy, Jimmy, and me. I'm the only girl. The others aren't nearly as talkative, or well, not in the same way. Although you're an engineer, so maybe you'd get on with them better than I do," Char admitted. "I'm the only non-logical person in here."

	"Being an engineer doesn't mean you're logical," Ganesh pointed out. "Actually, it can mean you're bloody fucking useless at emotional shite." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"They might be that, too, although I think Jimmy's pretty emotional. Mickey and Andy are... well, they're boys." Char shrugged. "You? Logical or emotional?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That depends on the situation." He sighed. "Emotional more than I'd like to be." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, it's not like a faucet where you can turn it on and off, usually," Char pointed out with a small smile. "Being emotional isn't a bad thing. It's a human thing, and connects you with other humans. Like music. Or art. And it probably means that what you do has heart, too, which could be good." (Reply to this) (Parent)
