[If anything, the past few weeks have made Jane considerably tired. She knows there's even more to learn about what goes on in the future of her own time, but what she already knows has constantly worn her down. It was tough trying to prove to others that you're presently not that monster you become and that you're trying to change it. She knows very well enough that she can prove to them- all of them, Ocelot, Frank, even the Big Bosses and EVA- that she's darn well determined to make herself not become that woman.

Right now, the least thing Jane should be doing is be alone with her thoughts. But right now, she's doing just that. The chaos from the past few days hasn't effected the beach one bit and she's very thankful for that. Sitting on the sand proved to be fairly calming.

If there was anything that made her at ease, it was the beach. The weather here was always absolutely perfect. It was fairly warm, but not to the point where it made her wish she was back inside. The wind was soft, gently brushing past her shoulders, and the ocean was, as always, beautiful and calming.

For now, she'll take the time to admire the scenery, being stuck in her own little world for the time being.]

[Sorry to interrupt your thoughts, Doctor Clark... But here comes a Null chasing some sandpipers along the shore.]

[When Jane hears the noise, she turns her head and watches the younger Frank chasing the sandpipers. A small smile comes across her face and she tries her best not to laugh.

Seeing this scene played out in front of her is too adorable to spoil by interrupting his concentration.]

[He slows his pace as he catches sight of Jane from the corner of his eye, allowing the sandpipers to skitter away along the wet sand, making their little kwees as they hop.]

[He turns to face her and approaches, giving her a nod of acknowledgment]

Doctor Clark.

[She gives him a small wave, the smile on her face growing a bit more.]

I don't think the sandpipers like you trying to catch them very much.

If I wanted to catch one, I would have.

[He steps closer, not at all opposed to sitting down in the sand near her. Something tells him she wouldn't mind his company right now.]

...Did you want me to catch one for you?

[She would rather it be his company than the older one right now.]

What would I do with it? I don't think sandpipers would make good pets, as cute as they are.

...You could eat it.

[His tone is completely flat. Like father, like son.]

[She frowns just a bit.]

Why would I want to eat a sandpiper? They're too cute! Plus, they weren't meant to eat, anyway. [She looks towards the small birds hopping along the shore.] They're meant to be admired.

Liquid had never really been to a beach--at least, not one that wasn't covered in soldiers out for his blood. The fact that this one was apparently just in a random room off a hallway was mildly confusing, to say the least. He stood there staring at the water for a moment or two, seemingly oblivious to the woman a few yards away.

[Comfortable enough around the good doctor, he lays down in the sand, resting his head on his arms. He turns his head on its side to look up at her.]

Does that mean we're not having sandpiper when we finally have our friend-date?

Jane is not all too surprised that she's not the only one here. The beach is very comforting to some people, especially to her considering she lives so close to it back at home and has always lived near it as a young girl.

She almost considers leaving James alone, but lately, talking to him has put her mind off some things she would rather stop thinking about right now. For a moment, she watches him with her chin in her hand, elbow leaning against her knee. He was certainly an interesting man, pessimistic, too. Still, she enjoyed his company, mainly for the fact that they talked like good friends instead of a clone and his creator.

"I never thought I'd see you out here," she softly calls out to him.

[Obviously she has a very soft spot for this boy (and most of the children in the Nexus). Her smile is almost mother-like as she looks down at him.]

I don't think it would be very good, anyway. Wouldn't you rather have something else?

Liquid's shoulders tensed slightly and his hand rested on the handle of his Beretta as he turned to face the source of the voice; it took about half a second for it to register as something that wasn't hostile.

"Jane." He regarded her with a slight smile, relaxing somewhat. He had been off his guard for a moment, and that fact unsettled him. He had to be more careful around here.

[He pauses, trying to think of something he'd like. He's grown so accustomed to either Elisa preparing all his meals or simply going out and catching something on his own, he's never really had to decide on something. Meals would consist of whatever Elisa suggested or whatever he trapped first.]

...Calorie mate?

Well, I've recently discovered that Calories mates are awfully good... and they certainly do fill you up.

[She rests her cheek against her hand.] Wouldn't you rather like something that's considered actual food, though? Like... grilled cheese?

She smiles right back before she stands up. At first, she stretches, seeing as she had been there for awhile, then she makes her way over to him. Her arms are crossed as she stands next to him, looking out at the ocean.

"It might be fake, but it's still beautiful," she looks at him with another smile. "Isn't it?"

...What is the difference between 'grilled cheese' and cheese that has been melted?

Well, grilled cheese is sort of like a sandwich. You take two slices of bread, grill them in the toaster, or you can grill them on the stove. The microwave is fine, too, but that's not authentic grilled cheese.

Between the two grilled pieces of bread is the melted cheese. It may sound small, but it's actually very filling. You can even put whatever meat you'd like between it. Ham, turkey...

Perhaps 'toasted bread with cheese and meat' would have been a more acceptable name.

'Grilled cheese' is more appealing though, don't you think?

I'll make it for you for our friend-date, I'm sure you'll like it. It's much better than eating sandpipers, I can promise you that. [She smiles down at him, again.]

[He nods]

...Should I still make coffee cake? I am capable of making other food now.

I think as long as you didn't get the recipe from EVA, you'll be fine in making whatever you'd feel like.

[She hopes that she means that as a joke. She adores EVA, even if her cooking is a bit... how should she put it? Life threatening.]

[He shakes his head.]

I learned how to cook noodles and a man that looks like Big Boss taught me how to make an omelette.

[She stretches her legs out in front of her, placing her palms on the ground and leaning back a little. Her eyes still focused on him.] You'll have to cook for me sometime, then.

A man that looks like Big Boss? [She tilts her head.] Do you mean one of his sons?

Big Boss has no offspring.

It was a man with two eyes that resembled Big Boss. I did not learn his name.
