Hey, it's Sarah. Leave a message.

You're not needed to keep me honest. I'm asking Chloe too.

[coppelganger]

Alright, Cos.

[doubleblind]

Why do you assume this is a date thing? It's not.

[coppelganger]

Just teasing you. Is your charming time traveler going, though?

[doubleblind]

I'm not sure Clara's into hiking.

[coppelganger]

But you think I am?

[doubleblind]

I think you're my sister and I can force you to come with me.

[coppelganger]

Are you forcing Alison as well?

[doubleblind]

I'm borrowing Alison's hiking boots.

[coppelganger]

[ Sarah sighs. Deeply. ]

Okay.

[doubleblind]

Awesome! This is gonna be so great.

[coppelganger]

[ If this was Kira asking her to go hiking, she'd try to be enthusiastic about it, but since it's Cosima, she doesn't bother. ]

I can't believe you agreed to this, honestly. Were you into this stuff before— [ Before you got sick, she almost says, and then just sort of... stutters into silence. ] Before?

[doubleblind]

[Cosima can't help but notice the way Sarah stutters, stumbles over her own words. Before you were sick? Before you were dying? Cosima knows the unspoken questions, but she shrugs it off. She's healthy here and that's what she wants to focus on.]

Not really. I went camping a couple times in undergrad? Does an outdoor music festival count?

[coppelganger]

Doesn't count. I've been camping, too. And S used to take us birdwatching all the time. S'not the same, though.

[doubleblind]

I still can't imagine you birdwatching...

[coppelganger]

What about playing piano?

[doubleblind]

Punk rock piano?

[coppelganger]

Well, I tried. I was shite, though. Felix is actually pretty good.

[doubleblind]

Yeah? That I need to see.

[coppelganger]

Ask him sometime. I'm sure he'd love to show off.

[doubleblind]

I'll ask him and if he gets weird about it I'll remind him that I didn't force him to go on the hike with us.

[coppelganger]

You know he wouldn't go.

[ Especially not if Sarah was there. ]

[doubleblind]

... You guys haven't had a heart to heart yet?

[coppelganger]

I ran into him at the beginning of the month. We didn't come to any kind of understanding.

[doubleblind]

Maybe I should invite him hiking...
