Therein lies the road to... rehab.

It's non habit forming.

Then the point is?

The point is to stabilize my moods. Or do you not understand that "prescription" does not equal "happy funtime drugs"?

Yes, please, be a bit more condescending because, you know, no one ever ends up addicted to prescription medication. Nono, not ever. Codeine. Morphine. Mood elevators. Noooo, never.

Are you done being a prick or shall I now guess why she left?

I told you, the medication in question is non-addictive. You're the one making smart ass remarks about medication not being worth it unless it turns you into a junkie.

And don't presume anything about my marriage. Last time I checked, it was none of your fucking business.

No, I don't believe that. You assumed. I was warning, just as I was the last time we spoke and yet again you got defensive. As someone that has been through rehab and is clean though not sober for years now, I try and warn though I wont' apologise for not sounding like an after school special.

You make it all everyone's business when you lay it out in public and if you didn't want someone to care, you wouldn't do it. I've tried nice now to be kind to a stranger. I'm remembering why it's a waste of time. Most wish to wallow, not have help or friends.

...fine. I apologize for misunderstanding you and jumping to conclusions, but when you work with the kind of people that I work with it gets to be second nature. Besides that, it takes a while for the new meds to start working and I'm still irritable.

Truce?

Truce.

I'm a recovering addict, it's why I pointed out how easy that path is to land on. Been nearly six years and I still fight it daily.

I doubt I'm the kind of people you work with... wait, maybe I am.

I understand that. I have suffered withdrawals from several of the medications that I've been on, and it's not pleasant. I avoid habit forming meds like the plague.

I think you're a bit more straightforward than the people I work with.

You do know this is where I ask whom you work with, don't you?

I work for S.H.I.E.L.D. and I'm guessing that you have an inkling of who my co-workers are.

Oh, how delightful. If I had your jobs, I'd have to be doped as well. Is this where I don't bother with introductions

I'm assuming that you're Emma Frost, but correct me if I'm wrong.

Yet again my reputation proceeds me.

I'm guessing that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Depends which part of my illustrious career you choose to focus on.

I wasn't particularly focusing on any one part. As a general rule, I don't follow the careers of those who aren't research scientists. I'm cliquish like that.
