these limbs grow cold

"Cool. Cool….You a greenie or just invisible?"

Teddy's answer takes a moment. "Um, invisible, I guess."

▐ ▎———- 

"I'm glad. For you, I mean."

How poetic. Very outsider-looking-in of you.

"Oh, uh. Thank you, I guess."

”Ah, yeah. Its really nice up here. Soo, how is cooking going? Do you know already what we are going to eat?” Liz smiled.

"It's fine. Um, later we have chicken and carrots and potatoes. I think we're having beef and corn tomorrow."

Why do you want to be alone?

"Um, I dunno. I don't really like talking to new people, I guess."

"Well, do you want to be alone or do you want somebody to talk to?"

"I mean, I came to be alone, but you were here first, so. I should just leave you, right?"

You’ve cornered a nice little market here. It’s a pretty little view.

"Yeah. It's um, kinda like, you're with everyone, but, like, not."

"No. Come on, Cook. Sit here." He pats next to him. "I’m not hungry. What’s your name?"

Ted slowly moves to sit next to him. "Um, Teddy."

”Ahh, well that’s great. I love coming here. It’s so peacefull. What where you doing here? Needed to get away from someone?” Liz said, smirking.

"I um- No! I just like coming up here."

There’s no need for you to explain yourself, Ted. Do you want some company?

"Um, I mean, only if you do, I guess."

Liz was climbing up into the tower, just wanting to clear her head for a bit. Untill she heard someone say something. ”Oh uhh, sorry, I didn’t know anyone was up in here. Just wanted to hang out for a bit. I could go, if you want?” 

"No! No, um. You were here first, and, uh, finders keepers, right?"

He rolled his eyes, letting his head fall back. “Ugh….if you really want to stay up here you can. Whatever. I don’t want to be that asshole that uses my title to punish others.” He really did though, but he was trying to be better. 

"No! Um, you can stay, I just- if you were hungry, I thought maybe you'd- nevermind. I'll leave you alone, sorry."

[she shakes her head] Nah. I feel like I’m alone 75% of my day out there in the Maze. Maybe some human interaction will do me good.

"If you say so and all." He scoots over to his usual position in the tower.

"Y-yeah, I mean. Nothing interesting happened. How was your day?"

▐ ▎———-                 "Hey, come on, you know I would                     never miss lunch with you on purpose.                     Just lose track of time sometimes, you                     

"Oh- I wasn't blaming you! I just- I mean, I don't know. Trying to make conversation."

Why do you even stay here?

"Its nice, I don't know. I like looking at the sky and watching people- not in a creepy way, I mean."

▐ ▎———-

Teddy does as he says. "Oh, I just wanted to see if you wanted to eat lunch together. I mean- its fine if you didn't, I just thought maybe you'd- nevermind."
