It's an excuse to come see you, alright.

[ obviously. ]

Besides, we Brits always have tea. It's necessary for our health, especially in times of trouble.

[greyate]

[ She reaches up with her free hand to rub at her face, still laughing despite how shaken up she was. ]

Bullshit.

[ But it's said fondly enough. ]

I don't have any tea...But were you serious? About me staying with you?

[tailorable]

[ he rolls his eyes. ]

Yeah. [ ah. ] Well, I've gotta check with Henry first. He's a private bloke.

[ and inviting an unknown quantity into their spy house is definitely something he'll want to discuss. ]

But if it ain't alright with him, I can stay with you for a bit, yeah? Until things blow over.

[ what matters is making sure she's alright, in the end. ]

[greyate]

[ She nods out of habit, forgetting he can't see it. ]

Yeah, okay. I don't want to be imposing or anything... But I wouldn't mind the company.

[ There's a difference between wanting space to ease her own mental barriers and feeling uneasy being alone. Jean is experiencing the latter very intensely right now. ]

[tailorable]

[ His tone bleeds warmth, fond as he is of Jean. He desperately wants to reassure her. ]

You won't be imposing at all, Jeanie. I'm sure of it.

[ Harry lets him get away with murder, after all. ]

I'll head to yours now, if you ain't busy. Just shoot over the GPS pin.

[greyate]

[ The warmth goes a long way in helping her feel less anxious. At least for now. ]

Okay.

[ But then she pauses, holding the phone out in front of her, brow creasing before she's putting it back to her ear. ]

I'm sorry; how do you do that again?

[ Why does learning this tech have to be so hard? Learning to program a VCR was easier than this. ]

[tailorable]

[ Jeanie. He wonders if she's retro, like Peggy. When he speaks, he sounds mildly amused. ]

Just send me your address then, yeah? I'll show you how when I'm there.

[greyate]

[ "Retro" is a good way of describing it. In a way. ]

Alright.

[ She tries her best not to feel embarrassed as she sends the address. Afterward, she adds, more out of pride, ]

I pick up things pretty quick usually.

[ JSYK ]

[tailorable]

[ he laughs good-naturedly. ]

I don't doubt it, but I'm not the best teacher — better at showing than telling, really.

[greyate]

[ The corner of her mouth quirks at that, ]

We both just need some practice at it.

[ Him at teaching and her at learning this weird technology. ]
