Annnnd still no reply to her text. Rin huffed irritably at her cell for a few minutes more before setting it on the table and turning to resume her work.
She plopped down on a nearby stool and began jotting something down on a heavily worn notebook. The binding was picked apart so thoroughly that it's a miracle any of it still stuck together at all anymore. It wasn't long before she seemed completely immersed in what she was doing.

Jerry had gone back to moping, and Wash had been off tending to his duties- he couldn't babysit him always, and Jerry was glad for the alone time.
Mostly glad.
Every word Roar tried to give in condolences, to try to cheer him up was grating on his nerves.
He refilled his flask, pulled on his jumpsuit over his pajamas, and headed out. Rin's interest in his situation was unnerving, but she still was worried.
He wondered if she knew, and was just checking with him to see if it would be okay for her to move in on Sasha now that she was "available."
He'd have to answer with his bazooka, if that was the case.
Wearily, he made his way to the life labs. At the very least, maybe they had some antidepressants or... something. Maybe some unmarked glowing vials of chemical he could chug. He'd be okay with that.

Rin was still in the labs writing like a lunatic. She seemed so deep into thought at what she was doing she simply just... did not hear him approach.
Her brows furrowed together in concentration before she abruptly muttered, "Yes yes yes" out loud, obviously aimed at... no one but herself.

"You wanted to see me?" Came a dim voice behind her. Jerry shoved his hands in his pockets, glancing amongst the rows of equipment for anything interesting.
As though they had expected him, there was nothing of note. Drat.

Rin gave a loud yelp and quickly scrambled around to slam her notebook shut and spin her head around to give him a wide-eyed bewildered stare, "Don't do that! You scared the living s**t out of me!"
Once she seemed to finally stop gasping for breath and her terrified frenzy subsided she turned the rest of her body around to face him and far more calmly reply, "What's wrong Jerry?" A question that could have many hidden meanings but for once that was all she really meant. She pointed at a stool nearby, "Have a seat?"

He didn't want to sit, but he did anyway. "Nothing. Just waiting for the word for the next thing to blow up like a good soldier."

Rin gave Jerry a VERY suspicious squint, "Sounds like a big something is wrong to me. You even said on twitter you were out of sorts." She moved to walk her stool closer to his before sitting back down, "Soooo."
She stared rather expectantly.

"I don't really want to talk about it," He murmured, lips pursed. "You said you had something for me. If it's...." A pitty kiss he definitely wasn't interested. He wove a hand dismissively.

"I do, but I don't just... have it on me right now. I thought you were ignoring me," Why he'd ignore her she did not know but it seemed it carried and that fact made her frown. "I just wanna know why you're acting so weird."

"Because I'm a loser. A joke, alright? With more people who tolerate me than actually like me. Happy?" His expression was humorless and in need of a shave. Again.

"Are you serious? I just spent a whole day trying to get you to open up to me because I like you and worry... and now you're telling me no one likes you Jerry? Not one person likes you? Am I invisible? I wouldn't be surprised if I were with some of the experi... never mind. Seriously though Jerry. What led you to this WAY WRONG conclusion?" look out Jerry, Rin's hands are on her hips.

"A bad day," He put succinctly in Wash's words. "A bad lifetime." He was still wary of telling her what had finally been the straw that broke the camel's back. He didn't need to advertise that Sasha was back on the market.

"Alright Jerry," Rin finally popped off her stool to offer her hand to him, "Let's go get your gift if you're so against talking."

"Alright." He murmured. "I'm tired of talking. It's nothing personal." With a sigh, his hands returned to his jumpsuit pockets, and he waited for her to lead the way.

Rin frowned as her hand was rejected but still went to lead away from the labs and outside, "I'm just worried you know. I don't even want to like... offer advice or anything... I just want to know what's up."
