Stein chewed distractedly at his bottom lip. She was still talking. He'd just asked how she was adjusting to Shibusen and her new students. He didn't expect for Marie to go on for so long about them. She'd only been there a day! He didn't have that much to say about his class after several months. Unbidden, distractedly, his hand slipped into his coat pocket to pull out another cigarette.

Crap. Wrong pocket. Without saying a word, Stein got up from his chair and left the room.

"Stein? Where are you going?" Marie hurried after him. Miraculously, she seemed only concerned and slightly annoyed. Good. He didn't want to deal with the broken walls walls and furniture that would come in the aftermath of an angry Marie.

He held up his hand, forestalling further conversation. To be honest, it was probably the scalpel sticking through his palm that stopped her questions, rather than the gesture itself.

Like Stein is actually the model for laboratory safety? Yeah right. He's exactly the kind of guy to forget that he had an open blade in his pocket.
