Blue Jay Way
Who: Fitz & open
What: Getting the lay of the land
When: Early August
Where: around the Clipper
Warnings: tba if needed
Fitz is well aware that it says something about his lifestyle that the Clipper reminds him of several places he's ended up over the years. On the other hand, being chained in a dank basement would also remind him of many places he's been over the years, so he generally figures it's not worth thinking about. The familiarity isn't a good thing - and the lack of cigarettes, drinks or a fudging door just rub in a short list of what he hates about it. But it does stop any particular outbursts of anger. He's not resigned to it, so he keeps his cool.
For the most part, he goes through the motions of playing along. He slouches, half-asleep in the common room during singalong, wincing occasionally. He reads in an overly comfortable chair, trying not to roll his eyes too often at the content. He tries to find someone to sit with during meals, and even actually enjoys the bathhouse. But, while he usually can't muster up actual cheer, there is a certain focus under the surface, which can be rare to see in him.
He's also doing his best to keep an eye on his friends, to see how they're handling it all. After all, part of 'familiar' also means knowing how much it sucks to play along - and some of the consequences to failing to play the part.

Malcolm is wearing a crisp suit and has a file under his arm. It isn't Fitz's file; he's not assigned to Fitz. He just sees taking a general interest in the well being of all the patients as part of his job as an assistant.
"How are you feeling today?"

Fitz is leaning back, as much as he can given the 'safety' constraints, in a chair, feet up on a table. He looks Malcolm over, making the great concession not to just close his eyes. Even with that question.
"Deeply traumatized," delivered cheerfully, and with finger-guns.

"What makes you think it was inevitable?"

He shrugs. "Of course, then it turned out to be aliens, but that doesn't mean shaking old assumptions of what your future would be."

"I won't argue that there's a stigma attached to mental health challenges, but I never suggested any of the things you just said. I think you're deflecting to avoid talking about it beyond your pithy, blithe, off-hand and definitely pre-prepared jokes about it."
