Chance looks up quickly, his hand going to his laptop lid as he turns to see Katie. A smile immediately emerges. "Hey there. I think I coulda recognized you, but thanks. I'm sure you already know I'm Chance."
Thinking a moment as one of his knees bounces, he stands up, offering two empty hands. "Help you back to your desk?"
Jason grins at Destiny's answer. Though true, there was just as tad bit of humor, and she still had life in her eyes, despite what she'd been going through. It was good to see.
"I'm alright. Reese is keeping me busy."
Leaning on the doorway, he tucks his folder under his arm, intending to chat for a few moments. "So... how are things going with Chance? I know Reese was a little worried how you two would get along and all. Doing alright?"
Justin shakes his head just slightly, a little wryness forming on his lips. He returns the sandwich to his back pack and takes another bite of his own. "Danitza likes these sandwiches anyway."
The food wasn't doing a whole lot to settle his stomach, but it was a little better at least. Fishing around in his pack, he finds his water bottle to take a swig. Glancing back at Beth, he was a tad surprised that she offered to stay and sit with him. That in itself was an improvement from the timidity that kept her walking most days.
"If you don't mind, I don't," he responds. Finishing his sandwich, he turns a little to look at her a bit straighter, leaning his elbow on the back of the bench to rest his head against his hand. His eyes study her with a soft intensity as if searching for her soul.
"What about you? Don't you need company once in a while too?"
