This post is William's IC inbox at ataraxion. You can drop network or action stuff that doesn't quite feel like it fits or warrants a post on the main communities in here.
waiting, he can do that. Whatever. He drops his hand and, well, waits. Even waits after William stops talking for a few moments, like he's expecting another comment to come forth. (He is.) When it doesn't happen there's a slow blink and nod.]
Yeah, [William nods.] You know. Don't fuck around and brush off your symptoms, pretend they ain't happening, try to tough it out. Something odd happens, tell someone. Tell Heather.
Try not to get distracted by her sucking voraciously on the side of your fucking neck. [William props his chin on his hands and smiles suddenly. Fondly.]
[Pretend they ain't happening is definitely a Heather thing to do, has him scrubbing at his mouth like it's an inside joke he's only sharing with himself. Which is exactly what it is. Still, he nods - he'll tell Heather or William or Cassandra or someone if not all of them -
all of which is abruptly derailed when he's reminded of his neck, and instead of looking embarrassed he just reaches two fingers up to touch, shoots William the most self-satisfied smug asshole look that ever did look. Yeah, Heather's pretty great, huh.]
[William laughs at that, not loud, but someone probably glances up in Medical Bay somewhere back there; he is delighted. Things are better now, he thinks. Just a little and slowly, but they are.]
Look who got in the cream. All right then. [William reaches for the comms.] Will you swing by or send electronic transmission once the data's in, or if you need me for coordination and that shit?
[The corner of his mouth only tips up even more at the laugh. It's good, yeah. And besides - Heather said once that she told William everything, so he's assuming William will hear about this sooner or later. Might as well cast his vote in.
He sobers up quickly enough - drops his hand and nods again.]

Careful.
[That's. An odd request.]
