Wall

Alec chuckles and nods. "No harm in starting early. That just means you're excited." He did wonder how Carson would be involved or if he even wanted to be, but he'd keep those questions to himself. 

Downing the rest of his coffee, he stifles a yawn and stretches. "Thanks for breakfast. It hit the spot." Finding the wall clock, he thinks for a moment, coughing. "I guess if I head home, I can pick up my other clothes and get back here around noon. If you're working today and want me to do something around here while you're gone, I can." 

Jeff bristles and gives Katie an annoyed sidelong glance. "I didn't overdo anything, and I am not going to Angel." He was exhausted, his muscles were fatigued, maybe he was dehydrated, his chest hurt and he was dizzy. Of course it was more than just his equilibrium off - it was an attack of overexertion. But he wasn't going to feel weak. He wasn't going to keep letting people tell him to take it easy and do nothing. 

Shaking his head, he tries to get over his dizziness, letting go of Katie. "I don't know about you, but I'm going to get some lunch, so come on. Don't make me sit alone." 

Almost to the door, he loses his balance and runs up against the wall to keep from falling. Gritting his teeth, he glares at the floor, knowing good and well that no, he couldn't walk fine, and there was no way Katie was going to let him go to the mess hall. 

"Or... maybe I'll just stay here," he concludes. Looking over at her, he grins. "I suppose running into walls in the dining hall wouldn't look too good," he kids.
