No, of course not.
If there's anyone that knows about giving advice and not taking it, it's me. ;)
My thoughts run too hard and fast, though.
Sleep doesn't work all that well for me.
And I don't need it like I used to.

[ The virus, she supposes, was part of that. Or maybe it's just another excuse among a myriad of them for her to play it cool and strong -- and not think of the reality of the situation or the deeper issues that come with her lack of sleep. ]

Any interesting work?
Or is it on the down-low?

Sounds like an excuse not to worry about the deeper issues that come with lack of sleep.

[ He don’t need no mind-reading to be mister tells-it-like-it-is. It’s one of those things that shows he cares, despite being a man hard as stone.

He, at least, doesn’t force her to stay on the topic by ignoring her question. ]

Putting some strings together. Seeing if it makes a rope to climb. Suspicious delivery patterns, primarily.

Sounds like just because you hit the nail on the head doesn't mean it's going to change anything.
If it was so easy to fall and stay asleep, I would.
For now, I'm going to keep working and get things done. Better to be productive than roll around, frustrated I can't sleep.
I thought you'd understand something like that.

[ Despite how deeply she values honesty and directness, it still grazes her a little when it's against her rather than for. It's not great. ]

If you need another set of eyes or ears for a fresh view, I'm always happy to lend mine.
If you want.

Talking about it is a start towards a solution, at least.

[ Now that almost certainly sounds like super hypocrisy, considering the John Jones persona she's speaking to him through barely ever talks at all. But at least, when he does, he tries to make it meaningful. ]

Always. Digital or analogue?

[ He likes doing things with paperwork sometimes. Nothing better than having one of those crazy people boards with the clippings and the string. ]

I've gone to therapy, if that's what you're suggesting.
Some things you can't talk your way out of or shake out of your bones.

[ She isn't one to judge since she's the same sort of hypocrite at times. Naturally, she's batting for her own team first and if she didn't want to volunteer this information then she wouldn't. Not without some prying, anyway. ]

Funny.
I'm a little old school. I'm a tactile person.

I was thinking more about just annoying you until you did what I tell you to.

[ He shoots over an address. He's working from home, his incredibly spartan apartment. The closest thing to decoration is the clippings and string wall. John Jones doesn't need much that doesn't help his work. The persona is, in a way, J'onn's sense of justice personified. ]

But in the meantime, you can be useful. Bring coffee. I've got snacks.
