Sara.

Coffee.

Paradoxes. A bar of chocolate came with them, but she put it back.

Notebook.

Bother.

His hand is shaking as he takes the glass, probably a result of eight bars worth of caffeine.

"Thank you." he says quietly, sipping the water and sounding more like his usual self. The effect going almost as quickly as it came.

"Sorry. I... don't know what that was all about."

[lvpd_sidle]

"Seems to be happening to a lot of people."

[guppy_sandhu]

"What is happening?"

He looks slightly frightened. "Am I safe to work?"

[lvpd_sidle]

"Now that it's worn off, I'm sure you are. I think the chocolate was affecting you somehow."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Like a sugar high?"

He frowns slightly, sipping the water.

"Right now I don't feel anything other than a splitting headache and mildly nauseous, which probably means I've given myself a migrain. But before... it was like the rest of the world were being really boring."

"You were acting like a teenager and you apparently ate a dozen chocolate bars."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Eight, I think. I do remember, it's just... it was like having a cloud in my head."

A sigh. "Sorry. I don't think I actually behaved like that as a teenager."

[lvpd_sidle]

"No harm done."

[guppy_sandhu]

A small smile.

"I think I'm going to go to bed." He reaches over and gives her a hug. "Goodnight. Thanks for stopping me burning my paperwork."

[lvpd_sidle]

"Not a problem," she says, hugging back. "I'll tease you later. Good night."

A small sheepish grin and he heads upstairs, taking the water with him.
