( Charles doesn't notice the change in Hank's mood. He's too busy reaching for the second syringe, rolling up the sleeve of his jumpsuit with practised ease. It takes very little time for him to find the vein - which is surprising, considering. He hasn't abused them quite as much recently - and when he presses down on the plunger he lets out a breath.

He's relieved, terribly so. Everything else is secondary. )

I wonder if they'll last the same amount of time. This place seems to have an effect on it regardless, doesn't it?

[bestials]

It does seem to last longer here than it ought to. If we had access to a lab, I could run a blood sample analysis, try to find out why, but... [ Well. ] Maybe it's best not to look a gift horse in the mouth.

[ Because this is certainly a gift they've been given. By who, Hank doesn't know. ]

[mentis]

Mm. It's strange, to say the least. How did they even get the serum in here in the first place? I've barely left, I'm fairly certain I'd notice an unfamiliar invader.

( He hasn't been able to get blackout drunk in a few days. )

And why now? Why not when we arrived?

[bestials]

It's not the strangest thing that's happened on this ship. [ Station. Semantics. ] There are people who've found wires underneath their skin. Finding something from home in your bathroom cabinet is odd, but at least it's not that invasive.

[mentis]

Oh, wonderful. What's a little body horror between friends, eh?

( God. )

Well, I for one am remarkably glad we've been favoured.

( He doesn't want to deal with Erik's smug righteousness right now. )
