Good. He had zero desire to debate the merits of cough medication. Not when at best it would be like downing a couple of beers and at worst he might as well just take a shot of whiskey. And that discussion would eventually touch on his past issues with sobriety.
He does feel like day old crap though.
While he waits, he might as well go over the papers Price brought him. Make some preliminary notes. When Price returns he's surprised to find his head resting in his hand and an illegible scrawl on the page. For a second he almost forgets he'd asked for the coffee and takes it without comment. The man might be grating and occasionally borderline creepy but he was efficient. And willing to do what the Project is going to need. Most psychologists are squeamish about human experimentation of the sort he's proposed.
He takes his first sip with a grimace and sets the mug down.
"Thank you, Councilor."
As much as he expects people to simply do what he says, in this case he is grateful and just feverish enough to actually give voice to it. Not enough to actually use Price's name though. Propriety and all that.
