"Andrew? You in here?"

Jonathan peers around the door without waiting for an answer, relaxing when he sees his friend. "Hey."

Jonathan considers this for a long moment, studying Andrew's face then nods. "Okay. I don't think it is, Weyland isn't known as a trickster like Q, but... okay."

It isn't even trickery that he's afraid of, exactly. It's more ... missing something important. Something that should have been obvious.

There's always a price.

"I hope it works."

"So do I. But there's no reason to think it won't, that I can see, and..." He smiles very faintly. "I need to believe it will. Gotta stay positive, and all that."

[stilljustandrew]

"Yeah," he agrees, more firmly. "Absolutely."

And if it turns out there is some hidden price ... well.

He'll just have to do what he can to make sure he's the one who pays it, that's all.
