[ It's early in the morning when Ariadne makes her network post and she's obviously still tired, nursing a cup of coffee. The reason she's awake might be obvious -- in the background, even though there are no speakers anywhere nearby, a song is playing. ]

You know, I've never heard this song before in my life.

[ There's a pause so she can yawn into her cup of coffee. ]

But I think I like it. I'd like it even more if it didn't wake me up, though.

Yeah, it is.

[aperfectthird]

Thank you. I will look for it after work, then, and I do hope your ... inconvenience goes away soon.

[boutant]

So do I.

[aperfectthird]

I'll see you at work, I presume?

[boutant]

Yeah, I should be there.

[ Unless her conversation with his brother goes poorly... or exceptionally well. ]

[aperfectthird]

Until then.

[Beat.]

Take care.

[...okay, maybe he likes you just a tiny bit, Ariadne.]

[boutant]

[ There's a bit of a smile. ]

You too.
