Ro leaned ever slightly to the side, not entirely into the room but just enough to catch a glimpse of Rep in the middle of his organization work. Thankfully for Rep he was far enough that he couldn't make out his trouble sorting the alphabet.
"Thanks." He took the cup from Jordan raising it in a small toast before taking a long swig, black, too bitter, but it was a kick in the rear after the argument they had.
"Yeah well... I shouldn't have let myself get that angry it just... it hurt to think that one of the few friends I finally have actually hated me the way he made it sound." He took a deep swig of the coffee nearly downing half the cup with it.
"He's really not bad when he isn't like he just was."

The minute Jordan had his back to him, Rep paused what he was doing to eye Ro critically. So he didn't get coffee but Ro did. It was irrelevant he had a mug of hot chocolate and didn't really like coffee, it was the principle that mattered. But he was stuck, he had to trust that it was just a friendly gesture, even if it made him mentally squirm just to watch it.
The urge to sort the books had faded in the wake of the argument in a petty sort of way, and deciding to give up on the task, he started just putting books back on shelves in whatever order he came to them - only to stop half way, frown at them with a twinge of guilt and take them back out to try again, it didn't matter if he felt like it or not.

"He gets much more aggressive when he's freaked out about something," Jordan said quietly. He paused, sipped his coffee, shrugged. "Then again, so do I. It just shows differently." He gave Ro a wry smile, then pushed off the doorframe and ambled over to where Rep was shelving books to give him a hand.

"Very noted." He muttered taking another sip, the coffee was starting to run low. "I can't see you getting well, mad really, it seems... out of character?" He stopped, "I'm horribly guilty of that too now aren't I..." Suddenly Jordan was gone and Ro was left standing with a near empty cup of coffee awkwardly in the door.
<< Go inside and put it down? >>
< And possibly piss off Rep? >
The only response was an angsty wail that caused him to flinch ever so slightly.

Rep frowned guiltily as Jordan came over to help him out. "I was hoping I'd have it done for you getting back." he gruffly admitted. And then the alphabet had happened and even the rhyme from when he was a kid had failed him.
He didn't seem quite as concerned about Ro as he had been before, his attention span wasn't all that long at the best of times, and these damn letters were hard.

"I try not to," Jordan called back. "Sometimes I just lose my temper, though." He looked a little embarrassed at the admission.
"Thanks," he said to Rep, a soft and genuine smile appearing on his face. "I hadn't gotten around to it yet." His hand brushed absently over Rep's shoulder.

"Happens to all of us I guess?" He added from the door way before taking a step into the room. He moved over towards the small kitchen corner placing the cup beside the coffee maker.
Taking a moment he glanced around the new room before moving halfway to the door again.
"Do you... guys want any help with that?"

The thanks was all he seemed to have been aiming for, not able to help the fleeting here one moment, gone the next smile that flitted across his features. "I'm not the best at organising s**t but at least I got it started."
He frowned as Ro asked if they wanted a hand, his instincts saying to say no, no he didn't want someone with a perfect ******** grasp of alphabet to help. But there was Jordan, and it was partially a gesture to him that he took the monumental effort to state.
"You can come help get this s**t tidied if you want."
