Accidents Happen (Meme: 3: 11)
Jay was in class; Ruth wasn't, and she found herself with nothing to do but worry about other people. Like Max, who'd barely set foot out of his lab lately. So Ruth went and got enough hotdogs for the both of them.

She knocked on the door of the lab.

	Riley nods, looking horribly stressed. "Thanks. Just, uh, let Cait know I was just leaving..." He heads for the nearest window and just flies off and goes home. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He's quiet for awhile before tentatively speaking. "Ruth?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He's gone. Whatever I've done, I guess God's forgiven me for now." She nervouslaughs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Max was confused, but didn't ask. "I'm assuming you're dressed then?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2012-01-30 04:46 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah. On my way." And she heads for the lab with the clothes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	semievilgenius 2012-01-30 04:49 am UTC (link)
	As she headed there he spoke again, "Ruth..I'm really sorry about this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2012-01-30 04:50 am UTC (link)
	"Not your fault, Max," she says, keeping her voice steady. "I'll be more careful next time. ... and I need to have a talk with Jay." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	semievilgenius 2012-01-30 04:51 am UTC (link)
	"Wait..talk about what? Oh please tell me you're not going to tell him about this. The last time a big angry musclebound guy wanted to chat with me, it didn't end well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't mean talk about the incident specifically in way that would make him mad at you. We just need to talk about the whole ... in general. Can you imagine how hurt he'd be if Riley just walks up to him and says 'Sorry I bumped into Ruth when she was naked!'?" And now she's there, and slipping into the room with her eyes closed and the clothes held out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	semievilgenius 2012-01-30 04:59 am UTC (link)
	He takes the clothes gratefully, quickly starting to slip them on. "I'd like to think Riley would have enough sense not to mention it, but..I hear what you're saying." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2012-01-30 05:04 am UTC (link)
	"So yeah. Jay and I need to talk, including a Relationship Talk, but it's not to do with you, don't worry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	semievilgenius 2012-01-30 05:09 am UTC (link)
	"Eesh, relationship-talk..good luck with that. Okay, I'm dressed now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2012-01-30 05:11 am UTC (link)
	And Ruth opens her eyes with a sheepish smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	semievilgenius 2012-01-30 05:13 am UTC (link)
	He smiles a little sheepishly himself. "Thanks for trying to cheer me up, earlier." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2012-01-30 05:15 am UTC (link)
	"It was no p... well, you're welcome. You're always welcome." Ruth's honest soul required her to change her use of phrasing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	semievilgenius 2012-01-30 05:16 am UTC (link)
	He smiles wider, appreciating that. He extends a hand out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2012-01-30 05:17 am UTC (link)
	Ruth grabs for a shake, then just squeezes. (Reply to this)(Parent)
