Frustrations
One would find it unusual to see Fred sitting in the living room of the institute. They would likely find it even more so that the lights weren't even turned on. He was just sitting in the dark doing..nothing.

	"I didn't expect too much of a hissy fit." She's watching him, noticing he's talking a bit more stiltedly, more precise. And he's not turning towards her. "Oh, but I think it is. You're going to have to get used to the fact that I'm going to be very interested in anything to do with you, Fred." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	His eyes narrow. "Perhaps there should be a limit to that interest." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't you try to growly-face me into slinking off, Fred. What's up? Seriously.. maybe I can help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	In fact there is a slight growl, one of irritation. "It's not something your particular talents can aid with, Sasha. I am simply waiting it out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-18 03:39 am UTC (link)
	Shifting closer, she rests her head on her arm against the back of the couch, not showing any inclination to leave. "Wait what out, sweetie? I don't mind keeping you company." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He breathes a little sporadically out his nose. "...I can't work." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-18 03:43 am UTC (link)
	"Oookay. Why not?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-18 03:45 am UTC (link)
	Another growl. "I..developed a new mutation last night." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-18 03:46 am UTC (link)
	She huffed out a breath, deepening the frequency around him to see if she could suss out what he was referring to. She couldn't see anything different. "Sweetie. Cutie. Angel. Sugarlips. I heart your face, but are you really going to make me drag it out from you word by word?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-18 03:47 am UTC (link)
	"I'd rather you not ask me at all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-18 03:50 am UTC (link)
	"Kinda a bit late for that, sweetie. You know, I'm not going to let it go. Whatever it is, it can't be all that bad." She perked up, grinning. "Is it a tail?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-18 03:54 am UTC (link)
	"A tail wouldn't keep me from working. My right hand is..malformed. I can't use it for day-to-day tasks now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-18 03:55 am UTC (link)
	"Malformed, huh. Lemme see," she said, scootching forward and holding out her hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-18 03:57 am UTC (link)
	He looks at her warningly. "I would much prefer you didn't." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-18 03:58 am UTC (link)
	"Why not? I'm not asking out of morbid curiosity, Fred. I want to see what you're talking about and what's inhibiting you. And if it's hurting you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-18 04:04 am UTC (link)
	He grumbles before removing the blanket and placing the limb in her hand. The finger were longer, thinner, and topped by long nails, curved at the top. In effect, his hand now more closely resembled a sloth's. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-18 04:06 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, honey." She ran her fingers over his changed hand, seeing how he could have issues using them for some of the work he did. "Does it hurt?" she asked, petting his hand gently. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-18 04:09 am UTC (link)
	"It is..fairly new. So yes, it does hurt a little. It takes time for new musculature to adapt to the main body." He swallows once. "It happened during the night. I was upset..I will have to find a way to pay for some of Uncle's equipment." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-18 04:11 am UTC (link)
	"Is it going to stay like this?" She can practically feel how agitated he is, knowing he's likely more agitated to have something interrupting his work. "You know, if you want, I'm willing to help you out in your lab." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"This particular mutation happened once before, but went away after a week. However, that is no indication that it will be the same this time. It could go away..it may not." He tries to remain composed, though he's starting to sweat a little from strain. "I appreciate your offer, Sasha. Honestly I do, but..I need to clean it up. My work was safe, but I made quite a mess down there."

"Fred, that's why I'm offering to help. I'm sure if Sylvie had popped in here first, she'd do the same. That's what people who care about each other do, sweetie. You need help, we offer it. Mostly whether you want it or not," she grinned, trying to calm him somewhat. "I'll help you clean it up, then if you don't mind a dumb blonde around, I'll do what your hand can't."

	He finally looks over at her. "I..I suppose that could be alright." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-18 04:27 am UTC (link)
	Giving his hand a last pat, she stood from the couch. She didn't want to make him feel too crowded when he was still going through adapting to a new change. "Good. Then why don't I go get started, hmm? Maybe get the worst of the glass so you don't nick your feet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-18 04:38 am UTC (link)
	He shakes his head. "The door requires a passcode. I'll need to go with you." He stands up, and growls rather loudly when he notes the arm. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-18 04:40 am UTC (link)
	She turns quickly at the growl, wondering what irked him this time. "What?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
