Huh. So that's what he looked like when he wasn't amused. David blinked, only able to stare for a moment, completely amazed. This was something else. It was one thing being back in Syd's body again, having already done this before for a couple hours, but seeing himself? Hearing himself speak, but saying words that weren't his own... well, he'd kind of been there before. Hearing himself, being a passenger in his own body while stuff happened. But seeing? That was still new. Seeing and looking up to. Being 5'2 and looking up at his 6' self was a hell of a thing.

And then Rudy was going and making Ptonomy uncomfortable and it was kind of amazing. There was another moment of gratitude, of altering that little fact in time and space. Rudy deserved better than what had happened to him and David was glad that only he and Kerry really remembered what the world was like without him. Rudy might know he would have died otherwise, but he never experienced it, never had to cross over into whatever came next. No, instead he got to be here, in Oliver's body, making Ptonomy-as-Melanie make the most entertaining of expressions.

Taking a moment to simply look at their hands together, David let himself have another moment to compose. Okay. This was okay. Time to put up and shut up -- he'd given a vote of confidence that this would be sorted, time to act on it. They were all smart, capable people, but for now all they could do was weather the storm and see what happened. Eventually Melanie would wake up and would hopefully be okay.

"If you swapped a gender, don't overthink how you walk. It's gonna be different." That was David's helpful advice before a big grin came despite himself. "Kaybye!" At that he didn't wait any longer. This was awkward and stressful enough and making distance would probably be the better choice for Syd, so, keeping their hands together, he went right for the door, opened it, and stepped right back out the way they came, tugging Syd-as-himself along for the ride. Time for some air, he explained, swiftly making way at least get to the main windows of the complex, a big enough area for the 'air' but without the winter's cold that had struck outside.

A quick look told him that snow was on the way. Gross.

Once it was just the two of them, he stopped and turned to face... himself. Syd. "You okay?" He asked, trying to keep all the cool in the world to focus on Syd. This was a big deal. A big, kind of scary deal. So he wanted to know if she was all right -- in all aspects. Dealing, not dealing, two seconds away from flipping, processing, all the above and more.
