[ Ian's got this easy-going way of luring people into feeling comfortable. Whether that takes the form of flirting or sharing or just having a good time, surface-level bonding is practically what he minored in beneath engineering.
It's the deeper level he can't do. It's like he used all his skill points maxing out the first one and the second's a flat 0.
He seems pleased at the answer, does a little if you say so gesture with the hand he peels away from his chin for a second. A promise is a promise, then. ]
I guarantee you my experience-standards are lower than you can even dream. The apocalypse has a way of lowering your expectations.
[ Some of the awful, awful stuff they got by on can't really be topped. Nobody ever chose not to drink it, though, because... end of days. You gotta do something to keep from losing your mind at night. That something, for Ian, usually involved ill-advised hookups after too much to drink and too much to smoke. Just uninhibited enough to want to make up for his complete lack of human connection and forget how much he regrets it the next awkward morning. ]
