Erica!

[HUFF HUFF HUFF. This cake is so not funny okay.]

Are you in your room!?

[She laughs and calls out to him.]

What do you want?? [She moves out from her room and toward the front room. Once she's in the kitchen, she glances to the cake, then to him, then to the cake and grins up at him.]

Too much?

[HUFF HUFF.]

I can't believe you made a cake to congratulate my new threesome.

[Pause. And then-]

-is that the right word for it? I don't think we're actually going to have a threesome for awhile.

[She lifts an eyebrow.]

This is just congratulating you on finally doing something about all of that. If I had to deal with one more day of no one talking about it and waiting for the other person to come to them?

I don't know how else to explain to people that talking to each other about things could have solved like... eighty percent of all of the problems we had back home.

[He just rolls his eyes in return, shaking his head.]

Geeze, Erica, it was complicated okay? Everyone was still trying to figure out how they felt about it.

[Here, Isaac, Erica will roll her eyes at you too and even make an "you're an idiot" face.]

Yeah, you were figuring it out ... a month ago. [Or whatever the real Asgard time passing was from "Christmas" to now...]

Scott wanted to wait for you. You wanted to wait for Scott. I don't have a comment from Allison, but it felt like you were just trying to figure out how to talk about it with each other -- hence the cake. [BIG GRIN.]

[Don't give him that face okay his life is really hard.]

It's not like asking someone out, okay? It's- I mean, it's like that, but instead, it's asking two people out. Who no longer date. Who both still love each other.

[He shrugs.]

Awkward.

[Erica nods, but it brings her to an important question.]

Do they love you?

[She doesn't mean to pry like that, but Isaac is very important to her and if they're using him to sort through their own relationship issues - she will kick their asses.]

Wh-what?

[He sort of sputters it out, blanching a little at the question.]

It's a little early for that.

Right. [She shrugs.]

I guess, I just want to make sure that they care about you... and aren't going to hurt you.

I'm- I'm pretty sure they do.

[Super embarrassed now though! So he tries to change the subject. Totally subtly.]

How are you and Sam?

[Erica is concerned! She needs to do her duty as best friend!]

We're good. [She smiles, because they're really good, but she's not going to make a big deal out of it.] He's still trying to find a job. Which I'm sure is frustrating for him.

Sounds it.

[He smiles back, pleased to hear that things are okay.]

Why, is Asgard going through an economy crisis too?

[She makes a face at him. Ha ha. You are so funny.]

No, I think it's just hard when you go from High School to fighting wars and then you're also expected to pay rent. He's been looking for something that he'd be good at.

Makes sense.

[Isaac shrugs, totally ignoring her look.]

What's he good at then? And- keep it PG, Erica, I really don't ant to know.

[She smirks at him, recalling their previous conversation at the diner that one morning.]

He's a musician. Guitar and he sings. He's also good at art, but those sort of jobs don't exactly exist here with regularity. It's not like there's a record label here to sign him.

[Isaac nods.]

Maybe he can play in Jo's bar?

Maybe? [Erica thinks about it for a moment.]

I can mention it to him, but I don't know how well a bar musician can pay.

He's looking for a high paying job?

[That sounds like a bit too ambitious for him.]

Not high, but I can't imagine that would pay very much at all.

I made minimum wage my first few months here.

[He shrugs.]

I'm still alive.

I'm just not sure if it pays minimum wage is all. [She shrugs, too.]

He's the one looking, so he'd know more than I would.

[Isaac shrugs.]

Well, let me know if you have any luck.
