You'd only have a few months. Doesn't seem worth the effort.

After all. How can I squeeze in a third round of betraying everyone and getting them killed in such a small amount of time.

[ J...oke? Haha. Haaa. ]

Comments

[fosterwench]

Ha. Ha.

Or not. You know.

[dokana]

[ In ironic obedience: ]

Or not.

[fosterwench]

Haven't you done enough?

[dokana]

Well, I've still got some more self-pity to wallow through.

[ Just looking at his life and noting the big trends, etc. ]

[fosterwench]

We all do, darling. And I appreciate what you did, I really do. But ... I mean... you understand, right?

[dokana]

Yes. I do. It's fine.

[fosterwench]

Is it true? That you're ... I mean ... that your time is limited?

[dokana]

Don't worry. I'm sure I won't end up in your bathtub.

[fosterwench]

That isn't what I meant. I mean ... I'm sorry. That that's going to happen to you.

[dokana]

--Thanks. If that's. The appropriate thing to say.

[ He seems to find that mildly funny, but his sense of humor, such as it is, is demonstrably a little off. ]

There's enough going on to be sorry about.

[fosterwench]

Ah, isn't that the truth.

[dokana]

Thank you, by the way.

For taking care of Gracie.

[fosterwench]

Well, she is a part of our family, for better or worse, isn't she? And she really does love you, doesn't she?

[dokana]

Was it really that simple?

[fosterwench]

Of course not. But it's a nice thought, isn't it? Simplicity. I used to know what that is.

[dokana]

You do a lot.

[ So don't shrug off thanks, in other words. Well, shrug off the first one. ]

[fosterwench]

Well ... thank you.

[cloneororiginal]

[Stares for a moment before rolling her eyes.]

Should work on that punch line a bit more.

[dokana]

Sorry. Wasn't the one with the sense of humor.

[ As the implied macabre joke-not-joke of they're all dead proves. ]

[cloneororiginal]

[She's aware the others are dead, very well aware of it. There's losses on the Leda side, but they shouldn't dwell too much on it. At least not without a drink in hand.]

Doesn't matter, I'm sure you'll find time to work on it.

[Or not. Granted, they found the original, they could figure out some sort of gene therapy for him.]

You plannin' on leavin' Gracie?

[dokana]

[ He doesn't expect her or anyone else to feel the same way about their deaths as he does. Facebook Family Status: It's Complicated.

From the quick little look he gives her, he finds the phrasing of the question slightly offensive, but he'll try to interpret it appropriately to the context. ]

I'm not.

[cloneororiginal]

[ It's a touchy subject for her, considering she wound up in this mess because Beth killed herself. It's all complicated but he's family. They found a way to give Cosima more time...they'd find a way for him too.

She isn't blind to the look he gave her but doesn't comment on it either. ]

But your person [ She refuses to say Mun, sounds too much like monitor. ] might have other ideas?

[dokana]

They can have all the ideas they want.

[ Executing those ideas, however. No. Besides, if he's sent off somewhere, all his purpose disappears, by his reckoning. ]

Are you anywhere? Or going?

[cloneororiginal]

[ She shakes her head. ]

Not that I'm aware of. I've been wanderin' but that's been it.

[ Then again, when does her person ever tell her if she'll do something or not. ]

Surprised t'see you here, haven't seen much of anyone else.
