Office Hours, Tuesday

Kerrigan had given up on her syllabus.

Well, okay, she hadn't given up, because she was a dogged sort of person, but it had finally found its way to a pile. It was just being worked at from a distance.

She made herself some noodles and spent a goodly period of time staring at it.

[ open hours! ]

"I have to figure out what my future is before I do that," Lee said and peered at the coffee maker. "I think it's done. Is it done? I can't tell with these things. I just count minutes in my head."

"It's done," Kerrigan replied, without even looking at it. "Congratulations. Coffee accomplished."

"And I didn't even make a mess," he said, smiling proudly. "Maybe I could be a professional coffee maker."

"There's your future," she said, with a faint shrug and a smirk, and reached over to pour herself a cup.

"Mmm and when I make my first million, I'll dedicate my memoirs to you," he said and grinned.

"You better," Kerrigan returned, taking an experimental sip from her cup.

"Not bad, right?" Lee asked. "If you say it's bad, I just have to stick around and make more."

"It's drinkable," she said, dryly. "Don't want to keep you here over coffee."

"I taught my brother how to make coffee before I left," he told her. "Hope has hasn't caused any fires by now."

"If my office mysteriously catches fire, I'll know where to find you, Adama," she said, pointing the cup at him.

"Hey, I make good coffee," he said, holding up a hand. "I made it for my mother all the time while my dad was gone. Be nice to me."

"I haven't thrown it at you yet," Kerrigan replied, dryly, then went back to sipping from her cup, "Be pleased."

"I am," he said geniunely. "Well, more than I was when I came in here."

"More students should appreciate the joy of a good cup of coffee." She smiled slightly at him.

"Wasn't the coffee," he said very quietly. "Anyway."

Time to clear his throat and pretend he didn't just admit that.

"I know."

She wasn't going to thank Lee out loud, but her mind was spinning on a few things.

Then again, it'd been doing that for a while. "Now I think you're late for your twelve 'o' clock bugging appointment with someone else."

"Yeah." A smile reappeared on his face and he gave a small, lazy salute. "See you later, Lieutenant."

With that, he turned on his heel and left the office.
