[ josh follows the comment, but neal's clarification earns a broad grin. still feels like a big victory to be getting straight answers out of neal, and the fact that he's so deliberately humoring josh is amusing in itself. ] Thank you.
[ there's a pause, and it seems like he's about to continue the conversation, then: ]
You should rest. [ he sounds a bit startled by the realization. it's getting late, and neal's mixing meds and booze (oops), and josh is distracting him. best nurse or best nurse. he'd normally make a joke about neal getting his beauty sleep, but - not so appropriate, now. ]
But this was lovely. I've got a shift tomorrow - I'm sure I can sneak you some more booze if you promise not to narc on me. [ sarcastically flattering, of course, but the offer's legit. ]
[ oh yes good the stool pigeon thing, back to that. not normal, neal. josh offers a sincere smile at the thanks, and if it's debatable what the thank you's actually for, josh seems to get it. ]
Any time. But seriously, if they ask, I was never here.
[ he should probably give a thank you for the "okay with him being a werewolf" part of this, but that just seems incredibly awkward, so. peace!! i'm really good at writing exits ok. ]

[ sometimes, he just says shit like that like normal people do it too. ]
Thank you, by the way. [ for the talk, the beer, something else intangible-- neal will leave it up to debate. ]
