Yyyyeah, I'm going to have to disagree with you on the running thing, but to each their own!

[ Personally, she'd much rather be inside with her computer. And air-conditioning. ]

Are you a City Manager, then? That's... cool... [ She. Has no idea what that entails. Clearly. ]

[quiteliterally]

It's more than cool. It's, well. It's really very hot, do you mind if we... [He sits down on a nearby bench though his smile never wavers.]

[egohalfempty]

N- no problem! I'm not really much of a runner, anyway. Obviously. [ Gestures to, well, her entire outfit. And her feet. Which were already slowing down before she stops to sit beside him. ]

Do you... come here often?

Oh, god, no. That sounds– I didn't mean it like– [ SHAKING HER HEAD. ] Oh, never mind.

[quiteliterally]

Don't worry, I didn't think you were hitting on me. [He sits with a broad smile, getting out a highly ergonomic bag of water and offering her some.] If that's even what you were alluding to.

Did I mention it's very hot?

[egohalfempty]

Thank goodness. Not that there's anything wrong with you... it's just, you know, I don't know you? So it would be weird. Yeah. Anyway, sure, I could use a drink if you're offering...

[ Hold on. Her latent, slowly growing healer senses are tingling. ]

Wait. Is it, um, safe for you to be running in this weather? You seem kind of winded.

[quiteliterally]

There isn't anything wrong with me. I am literally the most highly functioning man alive. Really. That's a thing.

[He offers over his water and frowns. Actually frowns because Chris hates thinking about sickness because sickness leads to DEATH.]

I'm not winded. This is actually the optimal perfect weather for running in. Did you know that exercising in extreme temperatures and humidity is actually one of the healthiest things you can do?

[egohalfempty]

Riiiiiiight. [ Squinting so hard at you right now, sir. ]

Are you a robot or something? 'Cause "highly functioning" kind of sounds like code for being a robot.

[ Still. You better believe she's gulping down your water, robot man. It is way too hot out here! ] Honestly? Huh, maybe that's why I'm so out of shape. Well... that and not getting out much in the first place.

[quiteliterally]

Oh, no. I assure you I'm quite human. But I am literally the healthiest human in the world. That's all I meant by highly functioning.

[He watches her drink water he needs calmly. He'll be at City Hall soon anyway where they have all the water he could ever dream of. And air conditioning. Beautiful, glorious air conditioning...]

That's probably safer what with your, extremely light complexion. Have you spoken with a doctor about this?

[egohalfempty]

Should I... ?!

[ Cyd, seriously. You are (sort of) the medical professional here, if only technically, so why are you looking at your hands in a panic? ]

I didn't think there were anything unusual about it! Aside from giving me a sucktastic tendency towards burnination when I'm out in the sun...
