I... don't know. I wish I could say that's impossible; it's a total invasion of privacy, after all, but we still don't know how this world works, what the gears turning behind it are. Like I said, there's just too much risk involved.
[ he glances at nisaka. ]
Trust me, I don't like the idea any more than you do.
[ the small movement at the corner of his eye prompts him to look back, but once eye contact is actually made, he's glancing away once more. moves carefully to set the empty glass down on a nearby table. ]
Not like we can really do anything about it, I guess.
[ there is a heaviness in his tone. an acceptance that implies he's made similar ones many times before. ]
I still have some time before I need to go into work; I have some leeway. And considering it's only your second day here, I don't think anyone is expecting you to have a job already. Don't worry about it. Just focus on feeling better.

[ jude notices the shift in mood, but he's not quite sure what to do about it. maybe he should change the subject. ]
How did you get such a nasty hangover, anyway? How much did you drink?
no subject
Someone was selling bottles of eggnog. I didn't realize they had alcohol in them until I drank nearly half.

[ jude gapes at him. ]
No wonder you're so sick... Lesson learned, I guess?

Where are you working...? [ since he isn't able to physically go out and get a job, he can at least start thinking about it... ]

I'll start looking tonight, I guess. [ surely his hangover will be done with by then??? ]

Thanks, Jude.
