Chatting in the Sun
Since the weather finally broke from the spring chill and apparent desire to crawl back into winter, Val decided to have her coffee break outside in the sun in the manicured patio area. She had her note pad out, with both journals and cases loaded on it as well as that Tetris-crossword puzzle game, but she preferred just tipping her head back and basking in the warm sunshine for a while. Smiling at the sun, she sighed and opened her eyes to take a sip of her drink. Maybe she could move her desk out here...

Josh was on his way back from his coffee break when he saw Val.
"Hello, Dr. Morse."

It took a few blinks to get her eyes working again from the sun-bleaching, but looking around and she caught sight of the man coming close. With a smile, she nodded. "Agent Hoskins, how are you?"

"I'm okay. Not great, but I feel all right." He raised a concerned eyebrow. "Your eyes okay?"

"My eyes? Oh, after half a day in my fluorescent-lighted office, natural sunlight feels good but takes a while to adjust to." She tilted her head to look at him. "Not great? I'm sorry to hear that."

He waves it off. "I'm okay," he assured. He looked at his watch: Damn, he was earlier than he thought. "Care if I join you, Doctor?"

She shifted on the bench to give him plenty of space. "Please do, plenty of warm sunshine to share before going back into the offices."

"Oh, avoiding writing up a patient analysis." She sighed. "Productivity always lags this time of day."

"Patient? Anything you're allowed to talk about?" he asked curiously.

She laughed and nodded. "Inmate was acting mad. I had to verify or refute his condition and I found him faking it like a Telemundo character."

Josh chuckled too. "I'll have to take your word for it. I've never seen it myself."

"Mm, steer clear, those shows are addictive. And he was cheesy with his mood swings." She shrugged lightly, smiling. "But that's how it goes."

"Duly noted." An intrigued eyebrow. "Oh, how cheesy are we talking?"

"Like 'suddenly southern accent and 'So and so isn't here anymore. I'm Bobo'' kind of cheesy." She rolled her eyes emphatically. "That's not how dissociative identities works in the real world."

Josh nods. "Ever listen to one of Typhoid Mary's old interview tapes? Now that's just disturbing."

That actually sounded fascinating. "Mm. That would be fascinating, I haven't had access to the recording. Probably need to make it a drinking game if I have company."

"She has three known spilt personalities, and you can clearly pick them out while listening. It's freaky. You'd almost think it was actually three different women. I swear there was a fourth in there, but I'm not in psychoanalysis," he explained. "I'd invite you to listen to my copy, but I can't get drunk. A drinking game would be kind of pointless.

"I'm sure being buzzed wouldn't make the scary voices any easier, I'm afraid." She chuckled and sighed. "No, I wouldn't want us to trade vocations for anything. You excel at the demands of agent work."

She canted her head in thanks with a smile. "And what are you up to today, wandering around like you were?"

"Well I originally went out to get a coffee, but my usual place is renovating. So I went to a different place and ran into Sammy. We talked for a bit, I had some coffee and pie, and then made my way here," Josh explained. "It's then that I realized I got ready an hour early."

The story made Valini smile in warm amusement. "My my, Agent Butterfly, you've been chatting with everyone," she teased and instinctively checked her own watch. "Well, better to be early than horrifically late, I suppose."

She bat her eyes innocently. "You take great pride in your capabilities and push yourself to your limits. It's very admirable." And some people certainly did a lot of admiring it.

"Well thank you. It's a good stress release too..probably why I've been spending so much time there lately," he admitted.

"Oh no, I wish more people would use physical training as an outlet." She lifted an eyebrow curiously. "Elevated stress, Josh?"

He sighs. "Yeah..I may have screwed up my closest friendship."

She blinked and looked at him, concerned. "I would believe your closest friendship to be too substantial. What makes you think there's damage and you did it?"

Josh really wished he could get drunk. "I told her I loved her."

Ah. "I compliment you on the bravery to do that. Not many get the nerve for saying it out loud." She smiled sympathetically. "But I see where the anxiety lies. Did she scream and slap you?"

"No, she..just stopped talking to me," he said solemnly. "I feel like I made a big mistake."

"How long has there been no contact? Because it might just mean that she is reassessing everything." She smiled gently. "Either way, this is a sign that you are important to her as well."

She nodded. "That was wise of you. At least you won't have the emotions eating at you in uncertainty."

"True, sadly. We are complicated creatures that way." She sighed apologetically. "I'd say it's better to take action than stew but right now, it doesn't feel that way."

"What I'd give for a little foresight." He checks his watch. "Okay Val, I have to in, but thanks for talking to me."

"You and me both." She smile and shooed him away. "Of course. And if you need to later? Just swing by."

"Thanks. I just might do that." The smile was small, but it was there.
