“Well…”
Noah took another swig of his drink. Tilting his head slightly as he considered her words.
“…at least you’re practical.”

"It's not for everyone. Some people can't handle the pressure of so many lives in their hands. I learned early on that you can't save everyone."
She took another long sip from her coffee before she continued.
"I do what I can, to the best of my ability."

“Better you than me.”
The idea of running around all night, frantically trying to help people, the thought was enough to make him borderline nauseous.

"Usually is. I'm on call for twenty four hours tonight though. It's easier to stay awake for the entire shift."
She lifts the mug to her lips and takes a good long swing of the coffee.
"There's no shortage of work to be done around here, after all. I like staying busy."

“Busy shift?”
Contrary to popular belief, he’s actually capable of enjoying being a nice guy. He’s glad the drink is helping Valerie out.
Noah G-077
A coffee would be lovely, thank you.
She very much appreciates the offer and takes the mug of coffee, holding onto it like a lifeline.
It's warm, soothing and comfortable.

And her exhaustion can be felt a mile away, which is why he’s coming over to offer her a coffee if she wants one.
Noah G-077
She's been pulling another all nighter.
When duty calls, Valerie is one that'll be there immediately.
It's not uncommon for her to stay awake for being on call.
