No, I'm too busy ruining your life. [ Dryly. It might be the closest he gets to an apology. ] Did you hear what the admiral said?

[newpest]

Nnnnope.

[bcpd]

[ after she asks it, she remembers it was a wardens-only message anyway - but one of them's already let it slip. if he'd been paying attention, he'd still have found out. ]

Whatever we have on the ship now, that's all we have for a while. No new food or medical supplies until the admiral says so.

[newpest]

Mmh.

[After a pause-]

Tell me if you're running low.

[bcpd]

Me? I have a fridge full of food.

What do you have?

[newpest]

Enough.

[bcpd]

Uh-huh. So how much is enough?

[newpest]

How much have you got in your fridge?

[bcpd]

Come over, you can look.

[newpest]

Yeah, I'll pass.

[bcpd]

Kovacs...

[newpest]

What.

[bcpd]

[ There's a bristling pause. ]

What do you think?

[newpest]

With you? I really don't fucking know.

[bcpd]

Oh, take a fucking guess.

[newpest]

Kristin, I got more important shit to be doing than this right now.

[Like sleeping.]

[bcpd]

[ And yet. ]

It wasn't personal, okay? I needed an example.

[newpest]

Believe me, I know how impersonal it was.

[bcpd]

And you know there was a reason. A good reason.

[newpest]

It's always a good reason to you. I can always count on that.

[bcpd]

What do you want to hear, Kovacs? That you're right, it was a waste of time?

[newpest]

Oh, for fuck's sake. This shit again? Call me when you have something worth hearing.

[bcpd]

Fuck you, Kovacs. At least I'm trying to do something here.

[newpest]

What's the fucking point! What does that even look like in a place like this? We're rats in a maze. Not very big ones, either.

[bcpd]

We're rats in a maze watching other rats tear each other apart. You think there's no point now? Do nothing except wait three months. It's not going to get any better.
