[Yeah he's totally super asleep for real, not that you can really tell with a visor over his face. Mercy gets away with all of these selfies, and he'll probably find them on the internet tomorrow and get really mad, but for now she gets away with it.
She has to wait a while, but eventually he wakes up, shifts a little, and notices he is not alone. 76 is about to have a very bad kneejerk reaction to someone else in his personal space, but it doesn't take him long to realize it's her, and he relaxes. Or tries to. Maybe he's still a little drunk.
[ HAVE SOME FAITH IN HER they're personal use only!! ...And maybe she will send them to like three people. But come on.
He doesn't audibly stir so much as physically, bringing her focus back as he shifts and suddenly goes stiff, muscles tensing against her. Sensing the knee-jerk reaction, she immediately speaks to identify herself, trying to set him at ease. ]
Rise and shine, soldier. The stars are out. And we didn't drink nearly enough to ward off this cold.
[ There may be a flask in her coat pocket. For later. ]
Only a couple. Nothing indecent. [ A beat, and then: ] Would you like to see?
Angela. Angela he drank so much. Do you know how much it takes to get a super soldier properly drunk? Probably so much.]
I ain't cold.
[He's fine. He's wearing everything, like all of his gear. There's body armor involved. But okay, he'll sit up and motion for her to give him her phone.]
IT OK IT WAS A 50/50 GUESS ON DIALOGUE OR MONOLOGUE... DID I WIN
[ PROBABLY GENJI AND THEN LIKE REINHARDT AND IDK... someone who would laugh and not think about it too hard.
She had honestly lost count after six bottles of whiskey, two bottles of vodka, and somewhere upwards of 15+ beers, medical curiosity losing out to her own interest to get bit tipsy and have fun. Were Angela truly as drunk, she would've been dancing with Torbjorn and Reinhardt and twirling the girls around until they were dizzy enough to be led up to karaoke. Were she smashed, she would've tried to get Jack to dance with her. If he'd refused, she would've gone to the other surlier members of their team; video evidence would've had her apologizing profusely to Hanzo and Roadhog and so on. The moral of the story is, she stays tipsy and toes the line of actually drunk very strictly. ]
Not many of us hide from the world in our armor.
[ She is cold, but this is nice and the fresh air is clearing her head. He moves to sit up but Angela won't move, instead opening the gallery on her phone and holding it straight above them, showing him the few innocent pics she took, smiling. He can see the timeline below and know that she isn't hiding anything else. ]
[okay not that much jesus I can't even conceive that much alcohol in such a presumably short amount of time.
Probably he doesn't let himself get this drunk, either. Tonight is truly a miracle. She can't see it from behind his visor, but he's squinting as he reaches for the phone so he can mash his fingers against the screen and scroll through the pictures. Why is everyone doing this to him.]
That's got nothing to do with this.
[She promised no lectures! Why is she up here talking about his insecurities! Geez!!!]
[ NO WOW THAT WAS THE WHOLE GROUP calm down Soldier... He'd be pissing like a racehorse at that rate!! His liver would abort mission!!
Okay fine that's cool she didn't need to hold onto the phone, but he'll be scrolling into pictures of her trying on clothes and things like pictures of taking some of the younger girls out to nice places to eat, posing with their fancy food and some idle scenery things. Many are of their recent mission in Hanamura, with pictures at nearby shrines and their gardens. He's clearly overshot the two or three she'd taken lying there next to him. ]
I'm only saying that I am the one that's cold. I wasn't paying attention to the time; maybe an hour?
[Oh. Oh, well, okay. Maybe he looks a little embarrassed for getting overly defensive, but it's hard to tell because he's still wearing the visor like a total jerk.
What he will do is hand her phone back (they are cute pictures but they kind of make him Sad), and since she's cold, he'll unzip his jacket, pull his arms out of the sleeves, and put it over her shoulder.
[ She'll take her phone back with a little smile and keep scrolling through idly, or at least until he starts to move and drapes his jacket over her. It's still warm from his body heat, and the gesture is apology enough for being bristly. She pulls her legs up to get as much of herself under it as possible, blue eyes twinkling with amusement. ]
They were cute, weren't they? And thank you. Take it back the moment you begin to get cold. I don't need you of all people in bed with a fever when I can barely see your forehead.
[ She'll just ball up at his side and keep showing him pictures, enjoying the silence and his presence. It is peaceful up here, and soon enough the sun would be rising. ]
[He's not going to call anything cute, probably, but they are nice pictures, even if they can be a little hard to look at for a variety of reasons he's not going to voice.]
Takes more than this to get me sick.
[Think about who you are talking to. Everything will be fine.]
[ No, Jack, "cute" is the proper response for the likes of Lena and Lucio and the rest of the kids. They're precious and need to be protected and well-fed. Besides, now he's in some team pictures too; even if it's just with herself.
She's scrolled to more scenery and she'll just exit the gallery, pulling the phone back under the heavy leather jacket on top of her. ]
For that I'm glad. You're my worst patient by far.
[Especially over him. Which he understands, of course, but it's not something he really wants to admit to or think too hard about. There are plenty of other people she can fuss over--most of which are in her pictures.]
[ He's reckless and she fusses overmuch because if she didn't, no one else would. He's developed skill at pushing people away, and she'll have none of it. Don't you worry, 76, she has plenty of fuss to go around for everyone and then some. He just picks up the excess supply. ]
[Maybe it's a joke, but he's not very good at being humorous, anymore, so it comes off as drier than it needs to be. Still, he's not exactly pushing her away or objecting to their proximity, so perhaps this is a miracle after all.]
[ She laughs anyway, a warm and quiet little thing. Perhaps she is a miracle worker.
THAT'S REALLY NOT WHAT SHE MEANS... Her smile almost turns exasperated, eyes rolling. She sits up enough to fish out her flask and take a quick sip, tipping it his way in offering. ]
I wasn't intending on sleeping. I wanted to watch.
When she hands him the flask, he's just going to stare at it, and then at Angela. Mask, remember? He's going to hold up a hand and play like he's already had too much to drink.]
[ Hey a girl can try, ok. She'll just tuck it back in her pocket when he turns it down, readjusting his coat over her and enjoying the way the heat of the rum is flowing through to her fingertips and toes, unfurling with a pleasant burn. She muffles a pleased little noise into her scarf somewhere between a sigh and a hum. ]
No one should turn down an opportunity to watch the sun rise, Jack.
[ It's barely a whisper, and it is already like, idk. 4AM. They won't have to wait for long. So since they're sitting up now, she'll just lean over on him and bump her shoulder into his side and smile for no particular reason. ]
[Yeah, sorry. He's probably had his picture taken one too many times tonight to want to take the visor off. He'll give her a little bump back, though.]
I'm usually up this hour.
[So, probably he's seen quite a few sunrises. It's probably not a secret that he's a bit of an insomniac.]
[ HAVE SOME FAITH IN HER SHE ISN'T GOING TO SHOW ANYONE goodness gracious. It certainly isn't a secret that he's an insomniac, but likewise, it's no secret that she enjoys the chance to sleep in and hasn't seen nearly enough to sate her. And they were always different; rotation of the Earth guaranteed you never saw the same sunrise and sunset, and that is just plain wonderful. It made her want to see more.
[ SHE'LL LEAVE HIM TO HIS QUIET TIME JEEZ... the kids were already all over him otherwise. She won't be that selfish. ]
I usually head to the trails up into the hills. I'll take a thermos of coffee and my paperwork if I can spare an hour or two, but only around 0500.
[ That, however, is a gentle offer for him to join her if he ever feels like it.
Besides, she tries to indulge in her beauty sleep. He's probably seen the mussed and groggy results of her waking up without enough rest. Girl won't even fix her hair until she's fully awake, barring medical emergencies and an entire pot of coffee to jazz her up. ]
You take paperwork with you into the woods at 0500.
[He sounds a bit skeptical about that, not that he'd put it past her, really. Maybe she does do paperwork in the woods at 0500. He can't exactly judge. They all have weird habits.
Is she inviting him into the woods to do paperwork at 0500? If he picks up on that, he doesn't show it. Then again, it's hard to read much of anything when all anyone can really see is the tops of his eyebrows and the way they pinch together.]

Sometimes. Usually busy.

Usually go for a run.
