[ Alternate universes are a thing. They're a thing he's dealt with on a very personal level, once removed from Sally, but the thing is that'd still been him. It'd still been Sally and Aidan and Nora, same people, different paths.
So while he sort of makes the connection, and the thought of mirrors crosses his mind— ] But you're British.
[ That's the sticking point. Actually, hang on, that's not the only one. ] And you're dating Mitchell?
[ Ha ha good joke. A vampire and a werewolf and a ghost and one (or more??) of them works in a hospital, except she doesn't really look like she's joking.
So 3, 2, 1........ ]
You're kidding me.
[ Alternate timelines, sure, whatever. British timelines, that's pushing it. ]
[ No accounting for your taste either, girlfriend. The clothes are totally forgotten, but there's a slightly dubious glance at the journal in his hand as he processes the ramifications. ] George is a wolf.
[ Pensive, said mostly to himself, then he looks back to Annie. ] What kind of wolf?
[ Obviously not. At least not where she's from, and it's not something he's insanely keen to explain. ] No, of course not. Not really. I mean, there's purebreds and then... mutts, I guess, they didn't actually ever— he's a mutt, right?
[ He squints at her slightly, maybe tracking that line of thought, but he accepts the shirt gracefully when offered. ]
... thanks. [ And awkward silence while he tries to figure out how to subtly ask her to get out, but he eventually gives up on the subtle part. ] So if you don't mind, I'm going to finish raiding bizarro me's belongings while I process the existence of another bizarro me. Who's English.
[ And that'd be a "goodbye", except: ] What's his number?
Great. Thank you, I'll just... get right on that. [ Or never. In the meantime, have a slightly expectant look while Josh stands there holding a shirt and his journal, clearly ready to finish raiding his old room. ]

Sorry, this is kind of a lot to... is George here?
no subject
[She gives him a little bit of a look, though. It's not about him. It's...well.]
But uh, George, he's a bit....difficult.
no subject
[ Vaguely insulted. Not totally grasping why he's insulted, here, but still. After a thoughtful pause: ]
Does he work in a pie shop?
[ Please say yes because he is like 0/100 on this stupid question. ]

There's more than one kind?

[She looks confused. Very.]
You'll have to ask him.
no subject
[ Totally never going to ask him. And after a long pause: ] You know you can't take my shirt now, right?
