hand wrapping around his wrist, bradley expects to meet the cold glass of his watch, but under his fingertips is just skin. the watch he means to twist is on the nightstand. his hand rubs at his temples instead, thumb and middle finger on either side pressing before his palm just rests flat on his forehead.

hand slipping down to the side of his neck, bradley turns his head expecting to see bob asleep beside him. instead, he’s met with the sight of an empty bed. it’s not a concern, at first. he guesses bob’s slipped off to the bathroom, and uses the moment of privacy to pull himself upright and try to push through the groggy fog of nerves that’s become increasingly familiar to him. it’s not a familiarity he enjoys. he feels tense, shaken.

when minutes continue to pass, and bob still hasn’t returned, the nerves start to take a worser turn. bradley pushes the blankets away, rising out of bed to find the other and navigate through the darkness of the space. the journey to the door is not without a little grumble and ow when he kicks some dark blob. eventually he makes it to bob's living room where he's not particularly surprised to see bob hunched over on the couch with the light on -- he's only relieved.

" how is this good news? " from @fyrewalks / kirk

patience, donovan. she knows there are times for the purely scientific - just as there are times to get to the point. brunette has never been one for too many words: quiet nature a still thing, always watching world with careful eyes. "if we know what's wrong, we know how to fix it." it's a simple reply, one that fits with her soft shrug. there was never going to be ideal news.

but, at least now, they know where they stand,

40. How do they respond to a loose handshake? What goes through their head?

honestly it's probably not something eddie would even notice if he wasn't in the military so it doesn't bother him. he hates shaking hands so he's not worrying about the strength of a handshake. but he's a kind and polite boy with manners so he'll always do it.

41. What phrases, pronunciations, or mannerisms did they pick up from someone / somewhere else?

bay lets out the most obviously annoyed huff at buck's insistence that they have to finish the movie first, he frowns pointedly at the other; but makes no move to turn the movie off or do against buck's words. he will just grumble about it until it's over.

it had been a long time, maybe even years, since gracie and bob had to share a room. they had been assured that their vacation rental would have three bedrooms. by the time they got there there were two bedrooms and one of the rooms had two twin beds. it was fine. they could make it work, gracie was sure.
