"Hey! You've reached Skye. Leave a message. I mean, if you want to. Or uh, don't. Whatever."

[hackitude]

No, I know. I can't do anything unless he does anything here. Innocent until proven guilty, etc.

But the minute he does, I'm going to be prepared.

[5055034455]

Atta girl.

Care to explain Jesse's involvement in all this?

[hackitude]

... You know Jesse?

[He doesn't really... seem like the kind of guy... Jesse would hang around...]

[5055034455]

He's a friend from back home.

1/2

[hackitude]

[A friend of Jesse's from back home... who is a lawyer...]

[hackitude]

Oh!

You must be the guy he told me about. His lawyer, right?

[5055034455]

[Phew; dodged a bullet there. Good thing the kid told Skye he had a lawyer — though Saul doubts he explained why.]

If he said good things, yes.

If he said bad things, no, that's some other guy.

[hackitude]

He didn't really say much at all, really. Just that you... manage his money and... keep him from blowing it all on drugs.

A service which, I should probably tell you if he hasn't already, he won't be needing here. You may or may not have heard, but his powers here prevent him from getting high.

[5055034455]

That's good to hear.

[Saul doesn't believe it.]

So are you two a thing?

[hackitude]

Not that it's any of your business, but... yeah. We kind of are.

[5055034455]

[On the one hand, Saul has a feeling this can only end badly.

On the other hand, he's... actually kind of pleased to hear it. From what he knows of Skye, he likes her. She's cute and seems sweet.

...which is all the more reason for him to worry, but...]

So just think of me as Jesse's weird uncle and prepare yourself for loads of uncomfortable questions. Like: how long?

[hackitude]

Uh. And that's... REALLY none of your business. You know you're leaning less towards weird uncle and more towards creepy uncle right now, right? FYI.

[5055034455]

I didn't know they weren't considered synonyms. Anyway, OK, it's not my business. Fine. But I like to consider myself a friend of Mr. Pinkman's, not just an adviser. So. There's some icky personal feelings involved here.

[hackitude]

Wow. OK then. Does Jesse know you're so concerned about his personal life?

Anyway. Not long. Two months...? Maybe you should ask him yourself.

[5055034455]

Of course he does. :)

[And it annoys the hell out of him.]

Don't get me wrong — I'm happy for you guys.

[hackitude]

Uh. Thanks. I mean, maybe don't celebrate just yet. It's not like we remember anything from this place when we go home anyway.

[5055034455]

That's no way to think about a relationship.

[hackitude]

I'm not. I mean, I'm mostly a... live-in-the-present, impulsive kind of person, you know? I like Jesse, and I'm... pretty sure he likes me. So. Why shouldn't we enjoy ourselves while we're here? I'm just... not under any illusions about what's going to happen in the long run, that's all. We're from different universes. One or both of us will go home, and that'll be it.

[5055034455]

That's fair enough. What I'm saying is not to let that be the thing that colors your experiences, you know? Then again, I just got here and haven't had time to form any meaningful bonds with anyone, soooo what the hell do I know?

[hackitude]

Yeah, I already tried that and it didn't work out too well for me. I was REALLY determined not to like him or let it be a thing but here we are a few months later and it's totally a thing. His stupid face is ruining my life, you don't understand, haha.

[5055034455]

[NO SKYE YOU DON'T GET IT SAUL COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDS.

And that's why he's so concerned.]

It's too bad we can't control how we feel, huh?

[hackitude]

Maybe. ... Maybe not. Then we'd all just be robots. I think... that'd be sadder, really.

[5055034455]

Robots are scary.

[hackitude]

... I'll say.

[5055034455]

Anyway, I'll look into that for you. Keep me in the loop, K? And try not to let Jesse get too pissed at this guy.
