Can't believe I got a Twitter.

[She sniffles and finishes wiping at her eyes.] Uh.. so, want a beer or something?

Yeah, that sounds great. Have one with me.

I don't... yeah, sure I'll have one. [Jo goes in back and grabs two bottles of beer, having opened them already. She hands one to Sam.] There ya' go.

Thanks, Jo. [She takes it and clinks with Jo before knocking back a drink.]

[Jo takes a long drink of the beer and for a moment just stares at Sam. That is until she slams her beer down and runs straight for the bathroom, slamming the door behind herself and losing all or what was left, in her stomach.]

[Well, after weird behavior like she's been showing, Sam doesn't just sit there. She runs after Jo, and catches up just in time to catch her throwing up. The look Sam gives her is terrified and more than a little weirded out.]

...If you didn't want a beer, you coulda just said so.

It wasn't so much that I didn't...[She stops to throw up some more into the toilet.] .. want a beer. I just wasn't sure I could handle it. Can't hold much down these days.

[Hesitantly, as if she's approaching a minefield, Sam slips into the stall and slowly pulls Jo's long curtain of blond hair away from her face.] Have you been throwing up a lot lately?

...Is it the kidney thing?

Yeah, which is why I just stopped eating. Can't keep it down. And yeah.. [She sniffles and pulls away from the toilet, sitting on the floor and resting against the stall wall.] it's the kidney.. thing.

When was the last time you had a decent meal? [And yeah, Sam believes her. Why shouldn't she?]

A decent meal? And kept it down? Over a week. Doctors said soon I'm going to have to go in and have an IV put in to eat. My body just.. can't filter anything since that's what the kidneys do.

Can you keep down little snacks and stuff? [Worry Sam is worry. D: ]

Not really, no. Tried toast the other day, didn't work out. [Jo clears her throat and carefully stands up.] Lets talk about something else though.. I got a case the other day.

A case? I didn't know you were still hunting.

Yeah, I am. Something wrong with that?

[Sam gives her a strange look.] ...No? I didn't say there was?

I was just making sure. [She sighs and leaves the bathroom, going back out to the bar where she goes to the sink and washes out her mouth.]
