"I'm bored." Ivy blinked, "Wow Carm, I usually hear that from Zack."

Carmen looked up from where she was dramatically laying her head on the table, hair somehow making it to the other side.

"How are you bored? We just had a caper 6 hours ago." Carmen shrugged at Zack.

Just then Player chimed in on everyone's comms. They were currently out sharing a cafe booth and Carmen didn't already have her phone out.

"Hey crew, how we doing?"

"Carm's bored." Carmen raised an eyebrow as if Ivy was a snitch and she was 10.

"Because you forgot to take your meds?" Player said, unsurprised.

Carmen raised her head from the table, "Yea! Because someone forgot to order more."

"Oi, you're forgetting I was on a caper last night too!"

"You're right I appreciate you." She said, head falling back to the table.

"That's what I thought." Player said smugly, Carmen grinned.

"Boss, you look really funny yelling at a voice in your head." The thief gave a wobbly glare and pulled out her phone lazily.

Carmen snorted, "Player go to sleep."

"Noooo you're not my mummmmm." He whined, Carmen gave him a look, "Yea okay so that's a lie... You're better off going to a chemist honestly, this may take a while."

Carmen huffed, "What meds?" Zack piped up.

"Yes, what medication?" Shadowsan added.

Carmen hesitated before Player gave her a look, "ADHD. It was between Dr. Explosion, Professor brain buzzer and I."

"Hey, and me!" Ivy snorted at the nicknames.

"Yes, and you Player."

"How was I unaware of this?" Shadowsan asked, Carmen shrugged, "I was embarrassed."

"And I taught her not to be."

"Now you sound like my mum."

"Don't do it Red,"

"Who probably doesn't exist."

"Gah!" Player slammed his hand on his desk like he'd lost a tournament.

Carmen smirked while the others groaned.

Zack gave her a whimsical smile, "Wow you are fun off your meds, what would you be like drunk?"

Carmen lit up at that, Shadowsan's face full of instant regret, "Actually, I stole one of Saira's weed brownies when I was 8 and fed it to a mouse. He died so I finished it." Carmen smiled at the end.

"She was swimming on the roof within minutes."

"You mean swinging?"

"No."

There was a monotone silence as Carmen gave a coy nostalgic smile to a random passer-by she didn't notice.

Ivy took a bite of her crumpet, "Boss, I have no idea how you survived, and I grew up on the streets."
