[Angsty Kuhn is go.

He's sitting at the bar, and even though he's poured himself a beer, it's going untouched. He's resting his elbow on the bar and his chin in his hand, staring off into space with a frown. Every few minutes, he manages a sigh, but he's keeping quiet otherwise.]

Khun?

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Mm? [He looks up] Oh, hey Isaac. What's up?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

I should be asking you that...

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Eh. [He waves a hand dismissively.] Don't worry about it, man. I'll be fine later. [He tries for a smile. It's only a little bit convincing.]

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[But Isaac doesn't seem at all convinced.]

[Darnit, why's Isaac gotta be all intuitive, huh? Kuhn gives in with a sigh.]

It's... kind of lonely in my world. Offline, anyway. ... [Shrugs a shoulder.] Yeah, I know, it's ridiculous. But it still gets to me.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Lonely?

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

[He nods.] I've got friends, but no one close. Not like here on the plane. Or online, which... I'm assuming you don't know what "online" means so we'll ignore that. Heh.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[Isaac goes quiet awhile - this isn't something he's ever had a lot of trouble with, but HE HAS TO HELP! Or he wouldn't be Isaac.]

Well...Why don't you try getting closer to one of your friends?

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

That's easier said than done. I work a lot of the time. I have two jobs. Believe me, I'm gonna try, though.

[The concept of "employment" doesn't register quite the same to Isaac, but the latter half of that statement brings a smile to his face.]

That's the spirit!
