"So, what's with the lab work? DNA?" she asked.

"Genetics, chemistry. I'm a Jack of all trades." ::He had been moreso before settling in New York two years ago. Also when completely sober. Odin sat at the table in the kitchen across from her.::

"You're jacked all right," she said, smirking. "You gonna actually be OK now?"

"I usually am," ::Odin guaranteed her. He was back at his apartment, and this was only unexpected contents in his drinks. It was hardly the worst event in his life.::

"I had to bring you back here, so maybe 'usually' isn't the right word," she observed.

"I offered you coffee," ::Odin replied, taking a sip from his cup. He would have stumbled back by himself, although he also might have lost his wallet in the process.::

"Because you would have gotten mugged in the street and I wouldn't let you go home alone," she said again, crossing her arms to let him know he was not winning this debate.

"I probably would have gotten mugged," ::Odin replied with a shrug. He certainly didn't deny that.:: "It wouldn't be the worst thing I've been through."

"So...why do you seem to not care so much?" she asked. "About what happens to you, I mean. It's not like just because getting mugged isn't up there on your personal scale of 'bad sh!t that can happen to me' doesn't mean it's not still bad."

::Odin took another sip of his coffee. He did not care partially because he was in a semi-altered state, but he had his other reasons.:: "I have twenty-three dollars in my wallet, a photo ID and a library card. It's replaceable."

She sighed. "OK, I might not be the most morally centered person on the planet, but even I know it's not about the cash or your library card."

::Odin set his mug down on the kitchen table, glancing at the window for a moment, before turning back to look at her.:: "I've been mugged a few times. It gets easier."

Her expression twisted into a grimace. "Sorry, but acting like it's normal...isn't normal."

::Odin knew objectively that it was not normal, but it was also not uncommon in his experience. Muggings were what they were; he was an easy target. And he preferred the muggings to the assaults, such as the one that occurred last time he was in Chicago. Certainly preferred it to riots, to police encounters, and to Laudine Piercefield. He reached for his coffee mug again, taking no offense at the grimace.:: "I never claimed to be normal."

She laughed a second at that, a loud bark. "Most of us don't."
