“ yo, miss tali. i’ll be there in a sec. ” jesse’s never been all that afraid of going to the dentist; call it a sign of his middle-class upbringing, an early opportunity in life to get used to it, and a chance to be around adults who weren’t his parents. as an adult now, he’s just as cooperative with hygienists; after all, keeping a nice set of teeth with his current addiction requires dedication most tweakers don’t seem to have. & with those very pearly whites, he smiles as he approaches her, following down the hall.
taking a seat on the chair in her office, he makes himself at home, legs crossed and elbow propped up against the arm rest. “ it’s been a hot minute since i was here last. you been doin’ okay? ”
she’s always teetering in the middle of entertained and awkward in his presence. finds herself fighting a disconcerting look or biting back a genuine smile at his wholesome quips. it proves difficult to decide on an identity around him from the minute he settles into her office –– formal back and forths don’t seem to fit the nature of their relationship. particularly not when he’s starting every other sentence with yo and sparking up conversation like they’ve been pals for eons.
tali’s back is to him as he makes himself comfortable. she gives her clipboard a brief once over and paces over to the sink to wash her hands. “ just fine ... no complaints. ” it’s an easy lie she’s had plenty of practice telling. brief and dry, rarely ever warranting another string of questions that she has to bullshit her way through. “ are you doing okay? ” always the more important question. she snatches a couple paper towels from the dispenser overhead like clockwork, thoroughly drying hasty hands with a curious glance spared toward him in-between. “ give it to me straight, pinkman. how much damage are we lookin' at today? ”

“ pinkman. ” a quiet click of her tongue pairs with a flickering of the eyes to survey the waiting area. there’s a knowing look that cracks her features like daybreak when jesse’s caught in her line of sight. “ jesse pinkman? ” tali’s unduly grave nature is always flushed with a wave of relief upon finding a familiar face awaiting a check up. moreso patients like him : personable and easy to accommodate. he, in particular, has always been a pleasure to examine in spite of his sometimes incessant gabbling.
a minute lilt of her head offers in the general direction of her office, turn of her feet and first few steps down the hall proceeding the assumption that he knows the room by now.

one brooding girl .
She bears pain better than most and that’s why people do not think she is struggling. They do not recognise she is hurting each time her lungs inhale and exhale, how every breath feels like a dozen stab wounds.
