It's been a few days since Rorschach's first experience in the bar, and he pauses in the doorway this time, one arm extended to hold the door open.

Behind him, if anyone cares to notice, lies an eerily quiet and somewhat shadier-looking bar than Milliways.

It only takes him a moment to make up his mind, though, and he lets the door swing shut behind him and heads for the Observation Window.

Apparently the bar isn't a dream, and doesn't just exist in Dreiberg's apartment. This means the next logical step is figuring out where it does exist. Hence the solemn window study.

Long story short: There's a short masked man sitting on a table, making the 'thinker' pose at the Observation Window.

He's relatively botherable.

That's an interesting theory. (Rorschach only wishes it were correct.)

"Hunh."

"That's not that much, though."

Convenient, but not that interesting. "Like not sleeping."

Funny, he doesn't really do that, either.

It's possible that her speculation is amusing him, not that it's readily apparent from his face or stance.

Elle doesn't say anything, either.

But after a moment, she does reach out, like she's going to try to touch the mask.

Now he moves, leaning back and grunting harshly.

That means 'no touching'.

She presses her lips together, but lowers her hand

With a disappointed grumble to it, "Fine."

He doesn't relax.

"Good."

Pause.

"You're kind of touchy." It vaguely sounds like a question.

"And you're kind of annoying. Point?"

Elle starts giggling.

(It's good for when you don't have a point.)

Women.

Rorschach grunts and turns back to the window, cautiously.

Just in case she decides she needs to try and touch him again or something.
