Well, that was certainly an interesting experience. What next? Honestly...what next?

Private to Arthur

I need some help...it's not working anymore. The herbs...they aren't enough. They take the edge off but...please. I need something different.

What is your mood? [Pollux had no idea why he was continuing this conversation but...well, he really did need some human interaction.]

It's a very pleasant mood. One might categorize it with delirium.

[He stood up after a moment and took his pencil. His always untied shoes tripped him slightly in the movement, but he was used to it.]

I...should go...

[Pollux stiffened slightly, as that was something Castor would constantly do for him. He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly and nodded, looking away and, for the first time since his arrival on the Barge, Pollux allowed himself to relax.]

[Pollux took a deep breath and stepped back.] I should go. [It was clear that he was still awkward but...Castor was on his mind. And, in a way, Brian reminded him of him...in a strange, strange way.]

[Pollux blinked, realizing that he was waiting for a dismissal. Yeah...he was that whipped by other people.] Yeah, I know. [He took a step back and turned around, heading for the exit, his mind spinning.]
