I don't know how.

[He hadn't been able to help the fear of traveling alone. He just can't do it.]

But I guess I can at least head out of town for the weekend. Not far, but away.

Sometimes that’s all it takes… nobody said it has to be a cross-country trip.

[His voice is quiet, softer than usual. He likes the idea of Mark doing something for himself for once.]

[atypical_echo]

[He just... doesn't know. Man he really doesn't.]

Guess I'm just afraid there are other AM divisions that would go after me. Maybe I'll agree to check in with The Order and see if they can ensure I come back.

[heydrb]

The fuck is The Order? [His face scrunches in confusion though the other man can’t see it.]

[atypical_echo]

Oh man, that's... I have so much to tell you. Sit down, okay? I need to make this cup of tea, then I'll head up to the guest room and we'll talk."

Because he was there for the research, and he'd had time to talk to Chloe about stuff too.

I’ve been sitting down- [He huffs a soft laugh at that.

But he can’t hate the idea of listening to Mark try to catch him up on everything he missed… He likes the sound of his voice.]

[So much that hes missed. Mark has a running quiet discussion of what the tour was like while he makes the tea, and once that's done he moves upstairs. Which works for him. And once he's curled up in a seat he starts to talk about the research they did with Owen to oust Wadsworth. Then the Order stuff. And then he just barrelled on to all that happened at the AM when he was there the day Helen got out.

And turned out he needed to talk about shit.]
