She's a great woman.

You two will be fine, I think. Just...try to find time to talk.

[reconnaissance]

( That went better than expected. She sounds kind of pleased. ) She is.

( There's something of a sheepish laugh, but it gives way to a painful sounding cough. ) Yeah, I will. Maybe once I've shaken this cough, I sound shocking right now.

( A beat. ) Collette? Really?

[theboywhodied]

You two are pretty close.

But I imagine you're more the type to go for a superheroine. It makes sense.

[reconnaissance]

Uh huh.

( Maybe she needs to revise how she interacts with close friends, since people thought she was dating Steph before she realised she even liked Steph.

A bit of a laugh, again, and she has to clear her throat. )

Oh, Christ. I think I just go for pianists.

( Lee, Steph. Okay, that's about all she can think of, but it's an easier joke to make than the other things they have in common. A beat, she does sound kind of... fond, when she says, ) She's really brave, though.

Bloody stubborn, mind you.

( Just to ruin that moment a little. )

[theboywhodied]

Yeah, I can see how you'd like that in a person. It's poetic.

[Cedric is grinning, but that happiness in his voice turns to concern]

Are you okay? You sounded a little under the weather.

[reconnaissance]

( There's innuendo to be made here about hands, but she resists. Instead, she'll agree. ) Yeah. I think-- when you see people doing something they love, no matter what it is, you see this whole other side of them.

( Gross Ellie, you're being gross. )

I think I'm coming down with something. I'll be 'right.

( nope )

[theboywhodied]

You'd better be all right. Let me know if you need anything, but...she's probably better to take care of you, isn't she?

[reconnaissance]

You're gonna tease me about this, aren't you?

( well )

I'll let you know. It's just a bug going around, I think.

[theboywhodied]

Later, but not so much while you're ill. So get better soon!

[reconnaissance]

( Dryly: ) Good incentive.

I will. I still need to teach you how to play netball.

[theboywhodied]

Believe me, I look forward to it.

Both things.
