Steve spends a lot of time wandering the Barge. Sometimes it comes in handy, like when he needs to figure out where the cabins of the newer residents are. So it's not too much trouble to find Jake's, only by the time Steve's standing in front of the door, another thermos of coffee in hand like an olive branch, he isn't... sure this is a good idea.

But he's here. And just because something's going to be weird and awkward doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. Right?

So he raises his hand and knocks.

So where're you taking me out this weekend?

[Picture, if you would like, Tess twirling a lock of hair around her finger. It's that kind of vibe.]

[She's almost always the one to come crawling back after a dispute, content to pretend nothing happened until it's brought up. She doesn't always like it, but it's easy. It is, regretfully, a very well-practiced song and dance. She figures Jake will figure out the steps in time.

Friendly, to a point:]

Dinner tonight, maybe?

B has still be going to work on the custodial crew, once the worst effects of the death toll have passed, and the worst of his panic over graduating. Even if he's not an inmate anymore and it's mostly inmate work, it's familiar and even soothing.

So he's seen Jake. But they haven't really talked. He's not even sure if Jake knows, yet, that he's graduated. And now he's out of time, because pairings come out tomorrow, and he needs to make sure he's not on them.

So he tracks down Jake with a bottle of whiskey (from the lounge) and an origami dog, in the evening. "Jake. I. I'm leaving tomorrow." And he holds out the bottle.
