[synanthrope]

I don't think you mean the shoes.

[intheblanks]

My ankle's still not up to them.

[synanthrope]

They look better on me anyway.

[She pauses for a moment]

I should make you a suit.

[intheblanks]

[Hello, slight not-sequitur. He pulls out the lapels of his lab coat to glance down at what he has on.]

Should I feel insulted?

[synanthrope]

Do you think I make suits for men I don't find attractive?

[This is about flattering your shoulders and your waist, Chase]

[intheblanks]

I was assuming the insult was to my dress sense, not my figure.

[It wouldn't be the first - although Cameron broke his habit of wearing a rainbow.]

[synanthrope]

There's nothing offensive about the way you dress.

[intheblanks]

[It's all teasing, really.]

I'd love you to make me a suit.

[synanthrope]

Good.

[She smiles and it's real for an instant, just an instant, a reflection of the woman she might have been.]

You don't have to come back tonight if you don't want to.

[intheblanks]

[Oh, her. He's met her (or a version). He liked her too.]

But now I've heard there are brownies.

[synanthrope]

There are. With caramel.

[Saya looks up, out at the hall]

[intheblanks]

I think I should come back.

[synanthrope]

Good.

I'll see you tonight, then.

[intheblanks]

Yes.

[And it must be a victory, of sorts.]

[synanthrope]

[She stands up, but doesn't give him a kiss. Instead she just smiles a little, her ball of anxiety eased, and walks away.]
