A wordless grunt is the only response Paul gets while Wyatt takes off the plastic lid and sips his coffee. "Sad to hear Miss Castle's gone."

It somehow doesn't seem adequate. Doesn't feel right to talk about her like this - behind her back, without her knowledge, when she's not here anymore. And, perhaps even more to the point, he isn't sure what he can say to take the edge off what seems to him like a pretty shitty day. Well, there's one thing, but Gods know how much actual good it'll do.

He might as well give it a shot, hope for the best. "Talked to Fitz last week. Seems 'going home' isn't a euphemism after all... This is his second tour of the place, says he went home in the interim--"

And this is the bit he doesn't at all know how to process. "And he didn't remember one thing about Taxon while he wasn't here."
