That finger rubs just a touch harder and he takes a drag from his cigarette. "Alright, John, thank you. I'll let you know if it ever becomes a possibility and we'll - figure it out, I suppose."
He does get a lot of quiet amusement out of imagining Arthur's reaction to that same question, at least.
Sheehan gives him a genuine laugh. "You don't have to, but I should get back to my paperwork. And - it's how I show embarrassment, John. It's not a headache."
It's a small signal, but one that he is alright sharing with John.
"Okay. Well, if you'd like to come for dinner some night when I don't have a shift, we should do that. I don't know how well you know Edwin, Natalie, or Willa outside of the breach, but they're a part of our family. So you probably should."
"Maybe dinner and a movie. I'm assuming Arthur's showed you the hosting room, with the conversation pit? There's a screen that we can use in there too."

Date: 2023-11-27 04:01 am (UTC)His chest hurts for a moment.
"Edwin and Natalie are - well, I'm not close with them, but I'd like to meet. And Willa - I haven't met her properly, but we've been talking."
If sliding notes under doors counts as talking. Sheehan thinks it does.
"So thanks. I think I will join you. Doesn't have to be dinner, either. We can play games or something else. Something we all can do."

"I'll let you know when we're going to have the dinner."
