from here:

Esfir leads Cal into to her room and shuts the door behind them. Her room has changed from the last time he was here - she's been building bookcases, and even though one is incomplete with tools and pieces of wood on the floor, the room looks more homey.

On the wall is pin-up board, complete with both black-and-white and colour photographs of her old life, but the model aircraft are gone from her desk.

"Um, mind the mess."

"You haven't been able to get me in bed yet," Cal says brightly, with a smart-ass grin.

"Yes, that's why it was a joke," Cal points out helpfully.

With anyone else, he'd take the joke a little further, but with Esfir, he'd rather not push. Or seem like he is.

Cal can't really argue with that.

"Why?"

That's not an argument. It's a question.

"Oh." Cal thinks about this. "I was kinda going for a little more obvious than that. Sorry."
isaysimplewords: (wait what?)

Confusion for a moment, then,

"Oh! Uh, with the joke, I meant."

"Uh. Sorry," Cal says, looking mildly embarrassed. It would be nice if having his DNA revamped had also meant that he'd stop having a completely different conversation from the one the other person was having.

Cal smiles a bit.

"Thanks."
