[Here's a guy who looks like shit. Not like he's been beaten up or injured or anything like that. The kind of "looks like shit" that comes with recovering from a meth bender curled up on the floor of some catacombs while there's a war raging outside. His body needs sleep desperately but the chaos has kind of prevented that, so he looks pale and sick with dark circles around his eyes and he's subtly shaking - which means the camera is shaking as he holds it.]

Hey, so... Hey. I know we're busy cleaning up and all, but I need, um... I'm just wondering if anybody could bring me some cigarettes. Or, like, anything else to smoke.

[Vague because he's not sure what's legal here.]

I'll pay you back or, you know, whatever. I'll owe you.

And, um, Nananea? You're probably busy with all them hurt people, but - that thing we talked about? I'm ready when you are.

[Despite looking like he should spend the next two weeks in bed.]

Anyway, yeah. Thanks in advance.

Wow... bad timing for you.

[She still sounds kind of rough, but at least some rest has let her burned throat recover some.]

Cigarette? Like one 'a those human cigarette fins?

[ Doesn't really have many left himself, but he's not a heavy smoker, so - whatever. ]

Sure, I can spare a few. Coordinates?

All I've got are cigarettes, but you look like you need something harder than that.

Jesse! You look positively awful. I can certainly make some time to help you out.

You shouldn't smoke those things, y'know.

[She tilts her head and leans in a little.] ...Say, are you all right? You look like you're in bad shape.

You look like you need sleep more than... things to smoke. [she has no idea what a cigarette is okay] You should be resting, if you're so tired.

[Wow you look even worse now than before, Chloe says in her head and not out loud because that would be kind of rude.]

You're not looking good, Jesse. [More tact.]
