[ Truth be told, these two fucking nerds have probably been in the tech lab all day but working on different projects... Partially because Jack still thinks that Rhys is a little weird (to say the least), but mostly just because Jack gets really into his work once he's in the zone. As soon as he starts drawing out sketches on drafting paper, the thoughts of his creepy stalker are all background noise, so far as he's concerned.

He leaves in the evening for a while, and it might seem like that's all his work done for the day, but about thirty minutes later, Jack ends up coming back to the lab. It's quickly apparent why, since he has food with him, but probably surprisingly, he ends up coming to sit at Rhys's table. He has one large bowl full of the true budget engineer food, rice and beans, and two smaller bowls with forks. ]

So. You've been smoking all goddamn afternoon, and I kinda hate you. You know I was trying to quit? So much for that, because I swear, half of you are chainsmokers.

[ He pushes a bowl across the table towards Rhys ]

Trade you dinner for some smokes?
