Grace: *has dozed off at his desk, waking up to-* ...Adrian?
Adrian: ...You didn't answer when Rocky came through earlier.
Grace: Oh, shoot I'm so sorry! It's just, I'm still not feeling my best and-
Adrian: I didn't ask for explanations, Ryland.
Grace: *mumbles a further apology.*
Adrian: ...Go lay down. I will observe.
Grace: Uh...are you sure? You don't have to-
Adrian: This is not a debate. Go.
Grace: Sure, okay...*gets ready for bed, watching as Adrian gets settled with something to work on.* ...I'm sorry for inconveniencing you.
Grace: *getting into bed, unable to get to sleep.* ...Adrian?
Grace: Thank you. I know you don't like me-
Adrian: What gave you that idea?
Grace: ...I mean, this is the most we've talked in months, and you always seem like you want to leave whenever I'm around?
Adrian: That's not...Grace, I do like you. Very much...I leave because I thought you didn't like -me-.
Grace: What?! I like you so much!
Adrian: ...Hm...come here, Grace. Bring your blankets and pillows. *Rearranges their limbs to make a nest.* Tomorrow, we will have a better discussion about this. You need to sleep.
Grace: I'll hold you to that. *Settles in their 'lap'.*...Y'know, Rocky's gonna be very jealous of you.
