It's no trouble at all! You're really doing me a great favor. Thank you.
[There's no way that Jake is going to let him live this one down, whether he takes this shot or not. So he gives his friend a momentary pointed look, reaching over to scratch him on the ear, then continues:]
You could join me, if you'd like. A meal is more fun with company, isn't it?
[ Emerton's smile seems to dip into genuine disappointment when he shakes his head, apology immediately present in his voice. ] Any break from my work will keep you waiting here even longer, I'm afraid. Perhaps next time?
[ Yujin will feel a few quick thumps against his chest with his tail; a wordless you tried, buddy of acknowledgement. There's no smart remark, either. Shooting a shot is to be respected, even if you don't hit the mark you were aiming for. ]
I won't take any more of your time, I'm sure you have plenty of work to catch up on yourself. [ He smiles again, tipping his head to both Yujin and Jake before taking his leave.
It's only after Jake's sure that he's gone down the hall that he turns around in Yujin's arms, looking up at his friend with an earnest wag of the tail. ]
Ooh, he's nice. And dreamy. [ He paws at Yujin's chest; the closest thing Jake can manage to a suggestive elbow in the side. Being a non-stretchy dog left something to be desired, gesture-wise. ] You gotta lock that down, brother.

backtagging this NOW of all times is so harrowing flkailgdsf
[Yujin's goodbyes are polite as Emerton departs, leaving him alone with...]
You.
[Yujin huffs out a frazzled exhale-- moving over to a nearby lab desk, he sets Jake down and takes a seat himself, if only to continue the conversation at something resembling eye level.]
All right: he is. Let's focus on the mission first, shall we?
SMILING AND LAUGHING, EVERYTHING'S FINE, NOTHING IS RUINED
[ The agreement, however begrudgingly given, is good enough for Jake. His tail wags a little faster upon hearing it, though it isn't visible for long once Yujin sets him down. One of the lab techs coats made a decent bed and Jake is quick to retake his place in it, circling a few times before settling down into the folds of white.
He rests his snout right over the name tag -- J. Brewer, a man who hopefully wasn't allergic to dogs. ]
Woof. How about you do that and I'll take a nap until this gets interesting again.

[He rests an elbow on the desk, then props his chin up with a hand. There are bigger problems here than his love life, to be sure, but...
What with all those lingering feelings from Ciraiwei, Yujin is just a bit more willing to play along. One only, of course, lives once.]

Zzzzzz.
