[After talking with Julian and Kagerou on the journals and promising to drop by their rooms with dinner, Nick heads down to the kitchen. Monroe isn't really coming out of his room at the moment, either, which means Nick is pretty much just a food delivery service tonight.

Maybe he should try to get tips.

After grilling up some chicken, potatoes, and bread, and slicing up tomatoes and cheese, Nick brings the lot up to the barracks. He stops by Julian's room first, knocking on the door and announcing his presence.

He picks up some ale before he goes to Kagerou's room, because hell, if Kagerou's human, he might as well have some beer, too. Even if it isn't an Oregon microbrew.]

[His answer is another long stare. He doesn't... really know how to answer that. He's only AI, after all. And a prototype at that. Is he even capable of... love?]

Oh.

[A weak answer, for a weak reason, apparently.]

So you... have no one to make the connection with, here?

[detectivetroll]

[Sometimes 'oh' is pretty much the only answer, man. Other than 'you're dumb,' and Nick appreciates not getting that one.

He gives a slightly wry smile at the question, shaking his head.]

No, I don't.

[fuckinstoplights]

[He nods a little, and leans against one side of his makeshift "nest".]

I'm sorry.

[detectivetroll]

[There's a brief pause as Nick considers what to say to that.]

Thanks. Me too.

[Sorry for that, and for Kagerou not having his someone to make the connection with here.]

[fuckinstoplights]

I didn't ask you to apologize...

[So why is he getting one?]

[But as he asks, he starts curling up in the blanket nest. Blinking sleepily. Booze and food will do that do a guy.]

[detectivetroll]

I didn't ask you, either, but you gave me one. I appreciated it, man, I was returning it.

[Yeah, he's noticed that. And he's good with not hanging around while Kagerou gets himself comfortable, given the whole naked thing.]

Get some sleep, okay? I'll come by again later.

[fuckinstoplights]

Oh. So it works like that.

[He stays curled up, but lifts his head enough to look over at Nick. Hey, at least this way, the detective doesn't have to look at his naked parts.]

Sleep.

All right.
