[And to think, up until yesterday he wouldn't even have guessed that Isaak was that way inclined.]

There's also a fine tradition of pointing out that it could have been worse.

[If it's any comfort, a man as pretty as Chase doesn't have to be perceptive to get far in life.]

I'm sure quite a few people were focusing on that this morning.

[For what it's worth he vaguely hopes Chase was in that camp, and not sneaking out of some strange man's bed. But really it's not his business.]

[He'll be plenty perceptive if you're ever on your back in a hospital bed. Just... not the other kind.

See look, you've got him clearing his throat again.]

Anyway, just making sure we're good on not skipping dinner.

Does that mean we are having dinner?

[For once the joke's obvious. From time to time he does show a bit of mercy.]

[It's okay, he's just about lost the nerves by now.]

Ah- nope. Sorry. But I wouldn't be averse to getting a drink sometime.

[Friendly like.]

[Pity, there are few things Isaak enjoys as much as making people uncomfortable. But Chase has weathered it well, particularly considering last night.]

Sometime, [he agrees.] Meanwhile I hope you manage to stay out of trouble.

By the usual pattern, I'm safe for at least a couple of days.

[But thanks, dad.]

Longer would be dull.

[Nonsense. Isaak merely wants all trouble to occur in view so he can have a laugh at it.]

I think I could do with a bit of dullness. You've acclimated too well.

I'd give you the line about anywhere being an improvement on New Jersey but - I like it here. That helps.

I'd imagine you've heard of Stockholm syndrome, Doctor?

I don't think the place is run by a bunch of great guys with smart ideas. I'm not a fan of most of the curses, particularly the ones that leave me working overtime. But the people - the freedom, I like.

Freedom isn't a word most people would use, describing this place.

I must not be most people.

Surprisingly few people are.

No. [He'd agree with that.] This place just picked me up at the right time. I'd still have taken any route out for the first few weeks, now I'm less sure.

Perhaps the grass is greener here.

I think that's roughly what I'm saying. [And he's aware it's what he's saying, too. Though unfortunately it doesn't have too much to do with dates with enigmatic Russians.] And that's coming from the garden state.

Well, then. Continue to make the best of it.
