Henry doesn't hear her at first, mostly because he's got his music playing. When he finally notices, he turns off the cassette player and opens the door.
Perfectly aware that she's an unwanted guest, she walks over to the cassette player to listen to this obviously very-handsome singer. She bops along for a while and then turns down the volume, turning to address her host.
She produces two little shot glasses from her pockets and sets them down on his desk, not pouring quite yet.
"You need to make a new friend each week. A friend, meaning someone you have some fucking rapport with, else you've gotta spend two hours every night having some quality time with me."
"Gotta work your way up, Henry, considering I don't think you've ever had one to begin with," she tells him. "Dorian and Jon don't count. You been in both their heads."
He sighs. "I think you're stretching it by calling anyone a friend. But. I will talk to people." It means that he needs to dig his communicator out of his desk or wherever he stashed it.

"Drink up, and you can make your first post to the network."

no subject
Date: 2022-10-16 06:15 pm (UTC)Not drinking together and threats of quality time.
He sighs. "I'm not speaking," he tells her firmly and starts off his text post.
