Entrance Post

Thinking about Sara, Grissom hasn't noticed that he did not walk out of her apartment building. Gradually, the unfamiliar sights and sounds of his new environment permeate his mind.

He looks around, taking it in with an atypical expression of complete befuddlement.

"This is not Las Vegas," he finally says, needing to voice the thought.

"Ah well. It'll catch up to them in the end. Just ask Death, she'll tell you." Ace likes Death. She's a nice person to talk to.

He chuckles slightly. "If I should meet her, I certainly will. I do have--questions."

"Heh. Don't expect too direct of answers. She has the whole mystique thing to keep up, you know." She snickers.

[gris_bug_man]

"Of course. I shouldn't expect anything here to be simple," he replies, chuckling some more.

A serious look returns to his face. "How has Sara been? Truly? I haven't been the kind of friend I should have, and it was very much my own fault. I've been..concerned."

"She's... been good. I think." She decides not to mention Manual to Grissom. No good can come of that. "Has a lot of people here who look out for her. And cocoa, she's got cocoa." And Manuel. But again, with the not saying a word about that.

He chuckles again. "Well, as long as she has cocoa, I'll stop worrying about her. Though I hope I'll see her eventually." He needs to explain the Sofia situation and apologise for the past two years. She deserves that much from him.

"She should be back by tomorrow. What with the party and all. She did say she was going to come." Ace notes helpfully.

[gris_bug_man]

He shrugs helplessly. "I don't know if I'll be able to come back tomorrow. If I can't and you see her, will you ask her to call me?" He hates sounding so...needy. "I don't want her to feel pressured or anything, but I would like to touch base with her all the same."

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

"Right." She gives Grissom a sympathetic smile. "I'll talk her 'round to it, if she balks. Cocoa can do anything."

[gris_bug_man]

He chuckles. "Something that can change Sara's mind? Are you certain that is regular cocoa?"

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

"Hell no. It's Milliways cocoa. Regular cocoa can't even get you up in the morning." Ace retorts, grinning again.

[gris_bug_man]

He grins. "I'll take that as a warning then." He gives his glass of water a suspicious look. "Should I wonder about the water as well?"

"Nah, just the cocoa. It's the chocolate." She beams.

[gris_bug_man]

"Duly noted." His tone is dry again. Taking a look at his watch, he bites off a curse--he's been here much longer than he expected. Not that he was truly expecting this.

He stands, giving Ace an apologetic grin. "It was a pleasure meeting you, and thank you for the help. I need to see about getting back to my world."

"Not a problem, Grissom. Have a good night." Ace gives him a cheery grin. Seems that not all the people from Sara's world are utter gits.
