"What, you're spendin' the last night'a shoreleave cooped up workin' on codin'?" he said disbelievingly, raising an eyebrow at her. Maybe she wasn't well? She certainly seemed a little down. Nevertheless though, that was still just all kinds of not on. "I'm headin' out for a couple drinks after I get showered an' changed. Y'should come with."
