One floor off. (Andromeda)

Andy pretended to be working too, but she wasn't able to do anything. Daniel made his little snark comment about flattering him, and then had the gall to try and give her advice. "Just enough to go around," she decided. She wasn't about to go talk to Jude. He was impossible to talk to, she had known that for years.

Still, she knew Daniel didn't deserve her wrath. She knew no one did. This wasn't even close to her true wrath, though. She had almost killed people. Luckily, Daniel wasn't in danger of that. He was just annoying, not someone who had ripped at her family.

After a moment she sighed, groaned and then looked over at him, "are you even getting any work done?" her tone was a little harsh but maybe, just maybe she was trying to find some common ground.

"Well that's good to know, I guess everyone needs a hobby." Daniel said with a shrug as she chose to agree with him about having enough attitude to go around. Something he could believe from the very few experiences he had with the girl. Daniel was tempted to keep pushing it for a second but decided against it. He didn't need to make an issue out of all this, they could just avoid each other the best they could if it came to it from now on.

Again Daniel tried to read the papers in front of him, he was giving it his best effort but both the girl on the other end of the room and his annoyed feeling got to him. Daniel could only assume she was having the same problem as Andromeda's voice broke the moment of silence and asked if he was getting any work done. "Not particularly, I assume your in the same boat?"

He said that everyone needed a hobby and her eye roll was STRONG there. She didn't make a comment on it, though. She was going to just try and keep working, and ignore him... Which obviously didn't work, hence her question. He guessed right in assuming that she was 'in the same boat'. "Yeah... I guess our boat is sinking," she said, sighing. She set her quill down and sat up more, leaning back against the stone wall. The cold surprised her at first and she jumped a little, then leaned back again. "Got any life jackets? An ore, maybe?" she was going to run with this boat thing for a moment... Maybe find some common ground. Maybe.

Daniel nodded slightly as Andromeda commented that the boat they shared was sinking. That was one way to put it he assumed. "Well it didn't have a very sturdy to begin with." Daniel said with a slight weak laugh as he explained their situation with the boat metaphor. He wasn't wrong as they had met each other under such bad terms and it just seemed to continue. If Andromeda was willing to at least try and hold a conversation the least he could do was try as well. Daniel had gotten enough snarky comments out for the time being anyway. If this was going to be a constant thing with them he at least didn't want to be the one making it as such. "Nope, fresh out but I know how to swim if you need lessons I guess." Daniel replied finally looking over as she was now standing up and against the stone wall.

He said the boat wasn't sturdy to begin with and she laughed a little, nodding. Then he looked over at her, saying that he knew how to swim if she needed lessons. "I know how to swim," she said with another eye roll, but she was smiling a little still. Okay, okay, maybe he wasn't the worst person ever. She looked away from him, clearing her throat and then leaning down to grab her stuff. "Well, it's been fun. If you'll excuse me, I need to find my boyfriend," she said. She didn't know where Phil was but she knew that he was probably wondering where she was... anyway, she was starting to get a little too chummy with Daniel here.

"Goodnight," she said firmly, leaving quickly and running down the stairs.
