Once back in the Pyro's room, the Spy had taken the liberty of sitting sprawled out over the couch. His partner, deciding to be courteous, got him a glass of water.

"Here you are," she said, handing him the glass of water along with two pills. She sat down in the place next to him, patting his leg reassuredly.

"Merci beaucoup, chérie," he uttered, downing the pills with a swig of water. If even possible, his headache had intensified until that point. After consuming the painkillers, he shut his eyes and leaned back.

"Anytime, don't mention it. I wonder why you have such a migraine." she wondered aloud. He hesitated before answering.

"Well...what do you plan on doing afterwards if our contract is cut short?"

"Well, I'll probably go back home, give my family some of my earnings, and we can all move to a huge mansion and have a real fancy-schmancy life," she teased. "But, uh, I'm not concerned with that now. I have to think about the present, you know? Can't worry too much about things out of my control. My main goal is getting shit done, and getting it done right, and that's what I'm gonna do. Worry about the now, focus on the mission. Seize the day, carpe diem."

Spy opened his eyes and faced his teammate. Somehow, even though he'd thought of the very same topic that morning, the thought of taking things day by day never crossed his pained mind. He was always a worrier about the future. Without something constant in his life, he felt unsure of himself, and while being a mercenary for BLU provided a steady consistency, that was probably going to end soon. He didn't know what he was going to do with his life; he wasn't even sure he wanted to continue being a spy. However, she'd managed to say just the things that put him at ease.

"Merci beaucoup. Once again."

"Huh? For what?"

"My headache is mostly gone."

"Heh. Gotcha the extra-strength stuff."

"It was not so much the medication, so much as it was your advice."

"Aw, thanks. Means a lot. I'm guessing you don't know what you're going to do with yourself after this whole ordeal is over with, huh?"

"Precisely."

"Well, follow my advice. We'll cross that bridge when we get there. For now, though, if you're feeling that much better, let's get out of here. It's Saturday night in one of the greatest cities in the world. Let's find something to do!"

"Its a little low," spy added." Yeah I wonder what the others are doing now..." crystal wondered." You know... I really like to know more... about my life before I came here," spy added." You'll just have to wait..." crystal replied with an emotionless expression.
