"How embarrassing," she murmurs, though she's more amused than actually annoyed. It couldn't even be decent paparazzi capturing her temporal misadventures?

"I'm not sure there's much to tell." She takes a bite of salad, mulling it over. She's thought back on it more than once, but she can't pull out much more detail from the chaos. "I was trying to find you-- there was.... You'd been dosed with ketamine and I wasn't sure where you were, but before I could go to find you I was outside the Hoover. It was just like... the world changed in between one step and the next, around me. I couldn't believe it. I didn't realize it wasn't the same day-- my phone wouldn't work-- and when I started toward the avenue I ran into Skinner."

She pauses, not sure what to say. It seems rude to point out how much older their boss is-- since so is Mulder-- but it was the first indicator of exactly how wrong everything was.

"He told me when it is, and... nothing made more sense, so I went with him. We talked, he tried to call my older self, and when it became clear things weren't getting fixed immediately booked a room for me so I'd have somewhere safe and private. That about catches you up."
