[Sounding irritated. And is so oblivious to the fact he's been gone for a while, but has noticed quite a few new posts. Even if Crane hasn't bothered to read them.]

It's amazing how much all of you can talk in one day. This is some kind of flood, I assume?

[Added later. Angry Crane is angry.]

Oh, good show, Admiral. I'll keep in mind that abrupt disappearances are now one of the many punishment options that you offer alongside floods, ports and zero. Bravo.


[Private - Eddie]

Are you in the infirmary? [That fear toxin was heavy stuff.]

[Private - Hayley]

I had to use that toxin for other purposes. It wasn't anything personal.

[Private - Eames]

We need to talk. [Added later.] Did you know that the Admiral was going to do that?

I am. I only remember being in my room for a few hours. Whereas the barge seems to have been subject to some excitement.

[Dry laugh.] When is it not, Doctor? But...you've been gone for a while now. You got in touch with Eames, right? He was looking for you and I said I'd let him know if I saw you.

Video.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

True enough. I spoke to Eames as soon as I could. Apparently he's my official warden now.

Video.

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

Is that a good thing? He seems like a decent guy. Intelligent.

Video.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

It's not a bad thing, exactly. It's easier to have a warden here than to not have one.

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Sorta need one to graduate. [Winks.]

Good luck, let me know if I can help. And, [lip bite.] Welcome home, Jonathan.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I don't think that graduating is something that I have to think about.

Thank you. I trust that the last few weeks went well for you?

[Private | Video]

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

Much as I enjoy having you around, um, why not?

[Looks off to the side.] Yes and no. The Port brought up issues, both good and bad, and sometimes I feel like I'm failing Armand. But, other than that, yeah. I'm well enough, thank you.

[Private | Video]

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I'm a believer in realistic goals. It doesn't seem like it's going to happen.

Armand is your inmate, is he? [Crane wasn't sure who was.] And the ports tend to help no one.

[Private | Video]

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

[She became quite sad at hearing him say that, shoulders dropping and lower lip barely pouting.] Armand's my Inmate, yeah, but...Jonathan...why do you think that?

[Private | Video]

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

It's statistically unlikely. [He pauses, before continuing.] I also don't believe that the change the Admiral is looking for is possible.

[Private | Video]

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm not giving up on you, Jonathan. I've seen good. I believe in you whole heartedly. You...I mean, you saved my life before. Does Eames know about that?

[Private | Video]

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I never told him about that. He's probably more likely to believe it if he hears it from you, anyway.

[Private | Video]

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

I already planned on it.

Do you...[lip bite.]...do you want a welcome back hug?

[Private | Video]

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Then tell him. It can't hurt.

Perhaps not. But thank you for the sentiment.

[Private | Video]

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

[Sighs.] Fine.

[Private | Video]

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

It's nothing personal. [The awkward! :D]

[Private | Video]

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

[Shrugs.] I know, I know. Just want you to know I'm here for you.

[Private | Video]

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

That may be needed in the future. [Most likely when Crane gets into some form of trouble.]

[Private | Video] - Gotta ask ya something. I'll email if you don't get on AIM tonight. <3

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

Anytime.
