Who: Aidan Waite and Josh Levison
What: After raid reunion
When: Monday morning
Where: Medical
Warnings: none
It had been a lousy weekend--not that anything had been wrong with the raid. It had actually gone well, and under different circumstances Aidan might have enjoyed the different scenery--but his fight with Josh lingered uncomfortably in his mind. Josh's anger would pass--hopefully had already passed, but the echo of the wolf's feelings would linger with Aidan. They always did. Josh was his own version of Jiminy Cricket--the conscience outside his own mind, and he felt keenly guilty whenever he disappointed him Which--he did a lot. He'd still picked up goods to use for barter, though he'd not used any particular care with the act. It had been expedient--his care, his attention was reserved for the chain Josh had asked him to replace. He'd found the one closest to what the necklace had been before--as near a match as would have ever been possible. The whole thing was probably telling, but Aidan wasn't going to analyze it. Not right now, at least.
Monday came quickly. He briefly entertained thoughts of leaving the necklace for Josh and not actually meeting the other man--but it was childish. They could be angry at each other without being uncivil--they'd certainly managed it before--and Aidan wasn't even angry, just guilty. Aidan stopped by the kitchen first--something loud (not unpleasant, just more boisterous than he felt) was going on in the cafeteria, so Aidan grabbed a cup of coffee (it had been literal ages since he'd fixed it himself, but he could still remember how Josh took his coffee) and a meal replacement bar and went looking for Josh in medical. He probably made a bizarre picture--coffee on one hand, protein bar in the other, and Josh's necklace carefully draped between the thumb and index finger of the coffee hand--he probably looked weirdly human. He wasn't even sure he would find Josh there--but Aidan was early, and he didn't harbor much hope that Josh's sleeping problems would have cleared up over the weekend.
