[i]“Noooooooo….” Xell leapt in the air, hand wound backwards as he was going to attempt to smack the pill out of Crispin’s mouth.[/i]

Crispin's eyes were definitely not on the dragon during this time. Though he did notice Xell's drawn out cry at the last minute, hesitated, and - [i]whump![/i] - got smacked across the jaw. The ocelot stumbled and tumbled, bringing down two chairs with him as he slumped to the floor in slow motion. During this time, the pill in hand had gone flying off as well. Right towards, and into, Crispin's glass of water.

Crispin flopped on the floor like a fish out of water for a few seconds before scrambling back to his feet. "Oh geez oh God," he exclaimed after realizing what had happened. Well, after realizing what happened to the pill... never mind the fact that a dragon socked him square in the jaw. No, the cat's determination to keep on time with his own meds trumped whatever happened here, especially as he was still under the impression that was his own pill that had gotten dunked.

He fumbled for his bottle of meds a second time, successfully whipping one out, and used a different coworker's glass of water to chug it down. Not leaving a single drop of liquid for the coworker when he was finished.

After his final gulp, he slapped the glass back down on the desk and let out a huge sigh of relief.

Yeaaaah, eyes were definitely on him now. How long had this fiasco gone on for?

He was morbidly embarrassed. So much for setting good impressions while he was still interning. "Uhhh. Oh, man, wouldja - wouldja look at the time. It's noon o'clock and I gotta start... preppin' lunch n' shit bye!"

He glanced around nervously then took off in the same direction as Jessamine, not aware that'd be the long way around to the cafeteria, but at least it was a way out.

Meanwhile the lizard he was with resumed working on his own code, acting as if none of this had ever happened.
