What do you do when you can't sleep and medication won't help?

I've taken to reading. I like finding books on dinosaurs and picking out the inaccuracies.

Someone has suggested reading books as well. Although, not the same type that you seem to enjoy.

At least it keeps you busy?

Usually, I cannot sleep because I am worried about things to the point I cannot stop thinking about the source of the worry. Something like that allows my mind to stay busy and me to think about other things long enough that I will eventually sleep. Just go with something you find interesting.

With the way things are right now, I can't blame you for feeling that way.

I'll give it a try, but I doubt much will change.

It has been a hard time for all of us.

If that doesn't work, perhaps you could try doing something soothing. I have found a warm cup of tea to be rather nice, though one must be careful not to drink the ones with caffeine if trying to sleep.

It probably won't get any easier for a while.

Someone else has suggested tea as well, but I'm presently all out.

That is sadly true enough.

What kind of tea do you like? We have several nice blends at the shop--and a delivery service. I could have some sent to you.

Yes, it is.

That's not really necessary, I can get it myself.

Let me know if you change your mind, then.

Of course. Who am I speaking to so I know who to contact at a later date?

I'm Torin, the manager. If you should go to Espresso Yourself, you cannot miss me. I am the only one who is feathered and blue.

It's nice to meet you, Torin. I'm Xander. I doubt I'll be able to miss you with a description like that.

I've been to Espresso Yourself in the past, but only once as a customer.

Nice to meet you, as well.

And I would encourage you to come in more often, but I am afraid that I am quite a bit biased in that regard. I'm very attached to the place.

That is understandable. It has done a lot for the network. I may be able to drop by in the near future when it is open.

Excellent! Please do. I'll even see to it that you get a free muffin.

That won't be necessary Torin. I can pay for it.

If you insist. I do like giving out free gifts here and there when I can. I've never really had the opportunity before.

I see, but you can save those gifts for someone else.

Very well, then. If you insist.

I do insist.

Someone else will get the free muffin, then.

[Torin likes your style, Xander...and he'll probably quietly slip a discount of some sort on your bill when you're not looking.]

That's fine by me. It might brighten their day a bit.

[He is rather selfless at times. Then again, L tried to offer a free drink and he declined at the time.]

I'm sure it will.

[Torin can respect that...and yet it means Xander is more worthy of those sorts of free gifts. Funny how that works out.]

I hope it does.

[He'll most likely decline unless Torin somehow sneaks the free gift in to his back pack.]
