Aiden laid back against the wall of the elevator, allowing his eyes to close. If he stayed like this, he'd fall asleep. He was almost convinced that he should do that, then he'd be able to get some sleep. Though, it'd probably be weird to see one of the employees sleeping in the elevator and he'd probably get fired over something like that. He just need a few moments to allow his eyes to rest. He knew that was just an excuse and that he'd need way more than a few moments if he was going to allow his eyes to rest. He'd open his eyes when the elevator finally made it to the ground floor and he had to walk out to his car. The cold air outside would probably wake him up at least a little bit. He could use that to get himself wherever he'd need to go after this. He could feel himself relaxing a little too much as he thought about opening his eyes again and making sure that he wouldn't fall asleep. But, his eyes just didn't want to open, and he just wanted a few more seconds.
Suddenly the elevator stopped moving, Aiden's eyes snapped open. He glanced up at the numbers over the doors. He hadn't gone that far, one floor down to be exact. He almost fell asleep in just a few seconds. He was sure that not even a minute had passed between going one floor down. He really did need to buy himself some caffeine pills and hope those helped him stay awake when he had to do this kind of stuff. He ran a hand through his hair as the doctor walked into the elevator. At least, he assumed the man was a doctor, he looked like one. He could have easily been a nurse or really anyone else that worked in the hospital. He didn't really put much thought into it. He watched as the doors took their time closing and started on its way to the ground floor again.
He was almost startled when the other man talked to him, He wasn't really expecting to have to deal with some small talk on the elevator. He still managed to put on a tired looking smile, "Oh, yeah, I had to work over time in the labs." That was only a good reason for why he was still at the hospital so late, it didn't really answer for how tired he was. That didn't really matter much though, he didn't have to explain to anyone why he didn't sleep on a regular schedule. He ran a hand through his hair and let out a yawn. He kept his eyes on the numbers that lit up as the elevator hit the next level. He was trying hard to keep his eyes open while they continued down, and the best way to do that was to concentrate on something.
