whenever. not picky

[intangible_girl]

[If Robert makes his way to the Battle Dome clinic, he'll find Ingrid sitting on the steps outside, looking puzzled and a little worried.]

Uh... no idea? \o/ ;; *shot*

[semper_cogitans]

[Oh, he will eventually. It is full of friends! Or people who could be friends in short order!

At any rate, he certainly trots up to Ingrid the moment he sees her, with a look of real and genuine concern. She's outside, sitting on the steps and alone. Clearly she needs company.]

What's wrong, Ingrid? Do you need something?

first day i guess

[intangible_girl]

[Her face lights up when she sees Robert, and she tugs on her ponytail as he approaches while her smile turns a little more shy.]

I'm fine, I just can't find McCoy. Which is odd for him. He's usually here.

\o/ Works for me!

[semper_cogitans]

[Those cues? Robert picks them up this time, though he doesn't comment on them yet. Instead, he smiles at her in return.]

Well, I've been going around all day - haven't seen him yet, but I'll let you know if I do. [He gestures easily around.] Or did you feel like accompanying me awhile? I'd always like someone to talk to. [He grins, an expression that should seem entirely out of place to Ingrid.]

[intangible_girl]

[Oh, that smile. That is a nice smile. Ingrid feels her knees go weak. Out of place it may be- but she doesn't care.]

I'd like that as well.

[semper_cogitans]

[Robert is aware, for once, that him smiling like that probably has Unintended Implications. Still, though, he likes Ingrid and that smile is entirely warranted.]

Great! I was just heading over to Seventh Heaven - I mean, I could make lunch myself, but it's so much nicer to eat it around other people, and I need to get to know the workers better. [He beams brightly at this idea - so many new friends he could be making!]

[intangible_girl]

[That-

That is-]

Robert, are you feeling alright?

[semper_cogitans]

Oh, me? Perfectly fine! Never felt better, really. [His smile softens, but it's still bright and genuine.] Do I look like I'm sick or something?

[intangible_girl]

[She stares at him, and opens her mouth to tell him she thinks this is the result of an experiment-

And then closes her mouth, smiles, and shakes her head.]

You look fine. Shall we go?

[Whatever this is, she is going to run with it as far as she can. And record data like mad.]

[semper_cogitans]

[Blissfully oblivious - it's almost like normal, except he's only oblivious to this.]

Look, Ingrid, if something's wrong with me, I'd want to know about it. [His voice is still playful - gentle - but there is an almost jovial sternness about it. He really does want to know, and for once he can tell she was going to say something - something likely bad.] What'd I do? Is my stuff rumpled? [He still has some of his OCD hanging around even now, though it's not nearly as bad.] Or are you just teasing me?

[intangible_girl]

[Now she feels a little bad, but only a little. This change in Robert is... bizarre, but almost kind of nice. She only wishes there were some way to record her observations without making it obvious she was doing so.]

Your hair is a little messed up, [she says with a mischievous grin as she reaches out and tousles his hair. After that treatment, not only will it be mussed, but it will likely be staticy as well. Hopefully that will distract him from her slip up. She's going to have to be more careful from now on.]

[semper_cogitans]

[Bizarre, indeed. What is even more bizarre is Robert actually smirks playfully as she rumples his hair. He doesn't flinch, doesn't protest how unprofessional it is, doesn't pull away - he just grins.]

Oh, sure, now it's messed up. [He does go to straighten it with his fingers reflexively anyway, but he still keeps that playful smile, and it's nowhere near as obsessive as it would normally be.]

Just feel like playing around today, huh?

[Maybe because he can actually respond to it.]

[intangible_girl]

[This. Is going to be fun.]

If you're still up for going to Seventh Heaven with me, then the answer is definitely yes.

[Oh geez is she flirting with him? His new enthusiasm is so infectious what if she does something stupid omg smile keep smiling there is no way he's more physically attractive like this. That wouldn't even make sense. Breathe Ingrid breathe.]

[semper_cogitans]

In that case, sign me up. [He smiles, noting that undertone of anxiety in her voice but saying nothing. Really, he can tell how she's practically falling all over him - and it's flattering but worrying. How was he so oblivious to this before? It's painfully obvious.

Don must've seen it the whole time. No wonder things were so uncomfortable...]

Did you have anything in mind specifically to get, or just wanna wing it?

[intangible_girl]

[She frowns slightly, tugging on her ponytail again.] Well, I won't be able to eat anything. I thought you mainly wanted to socialize.

[semper_cogitans]

Oh, we don't have to get anything if you don't want. Just being there and talking will be great, especially with such nice company! [Robert smiles, though he looks a little questioning.] You wouldn't mind if I got something to drink though, right?

[He doesn't want you to feel left out, Ingrid. And he can actually tell that might happen.]
