[orangetoughguy]

[Too bad Freddy's already there when he finally reads this text.]

What.

[Looking around for you, Eames.]

[signatures]

[ Eames waves him down from one of the tables. ]

Mister O.

[orangetoughguy]

[There we go. Freddy moseys over to Eames and helps himself to a seat. His sling is still on.]

Did you start without me?

[signatures]

[ Eames points to his iced coffee, the empty serving cup and stove roaster next to it. ]

Only a little bit. [ He hands Orange the second menu, though. ]

[orangetoughguy]

[Looks expensive, except it's a pho dive so it can't be expensive, maybe just expensive for a third worlder. He sniffs close to the cup.]

Strong.

[It's southeast asian coffee, duh. Second menu in hand it doesn't take him long to pick what he wants because he always gets the same damn dish every damn time.]

[signatures]

Hence why it's mine, not yours.

[ They order their food and get rid of the menus, Eames crossing his arms on the table. ]

Working today?

[orangetoughguy]

Nope. I gotta take time off until I'm not a liability anymore.

[A point to his shoulder. Yes it annoys him.] I get to take it off next week.

[signatures]

Good luck. Paid work comp or on your own?

[ Poor Mister O. Boy sure does hate feeling useless. ]

[orangetoughguy]

[Hey Mister E, guess who else hates feeling useless? Of course Eames is no mind reader so he wouldn't know that person in Freddy's mind is Ariadne but the Englishman is pretty smart. Maybe he already knows she's told him.]

On my own after two weeks.

[Which means once that sling comes off he's going back in. City Solutions will have to force him out if they don't want him back yet.]

[signatures]

Fair enough. Suppose there's just no regular deskwork for a mechanic. What have you been keeping busy with otherwise?

[orangetoughguy]

I hate deskwork. [Now that he's got his own coffee (iced) he'll slurp it up.]

Worked on a couple models. What's she got you doin' these days?

[signatures]

The usual, though she may be trying to get me to learn more about cars soon.

[ He takes a sip of his own sweet coffee, his appetizer of fried summer rolls appearing at his elbow. ]

[orangetoughguy]

You need help?

[The answer should be 'yes' because they both know who's better under the hood, right??]

[signatures]

Maybe. I'll ask if learning earns me a raise, in any case.
