fandomhigh | Professor Chaucer: Office Hours

Paige walks in and is indeed carrying two cups of coffee (it's like she knew!)

"Should I withdraw my offer of being your TA Geoff?" she says handing him a cup

(([might pop in if her workday is slow, if that's OK with you]))

Marty walks into the office looking very tired and worried.

"Uh Geo- I mean Professor Chaucer? Um..."

Marty takes a deep breath.

"I didn't really get a chance to talk to you after waking up last Thursday. I remember you saying I was acting drunk but... I don't remember anything that happened before it."

((Slow play okay until tonight?))

Hey, Geoff. Thanks for talking to my mom Saturday.

"Thank you, Paige! No, I'm not asking you to withdraw. But I do want to give the other students another chance to sign up -- with all of the excitement over parents weekend, I imagine a few things were forgotten." He sips at the coffee. "Also, to be honest...I don't want to give the impression of favoritism. I know that's not fair to you, but...I think it's an issue we're going to need to stay aware of."

[Please do! It'll be slow-play til evening, but please stop by.]

"It's good to see you, Marty. We're not in class, and you're not in any of my classes anyway, so I see no reason for you not to call me Geoff. Sit down. You look very tired." He gives Marty a concerned look.

"You don't remember?"

[Slow-play til tonight is perfect.]

"Hello, Angela! You're very welcome -- it was a pleasure meeting her, and your sister." He smiles. "Did they enjoy their visit?"

She raises an eyeborw "favouritism? I never expected anything like that, I'm keen to prove myself in class." she says sipping her coffee "I can see how other people might see things that way though, but I can keep our personal and pofessional lives seperate. I just thought I should offer in case it was an issue for you."

"I appreciate that, Paige. And I know you have no expectations of special treatment, I'd just like to make certain everyone else knows that. As I said, it isn't fair to you...but I appreciate your understanding.

I'll make a decision by the end of the week, and then I'll let you know?"

"that's fine, I just wanted to make sure you knew I didn't mind withdrawing. I guess this whole situation is a little odd, mind you at this school it's nothing really is it?" she laughs thinking about how she's dated Chuacer and danced with Beethoven.

*walks in*

So, books are good, right? *laugh*

[ooc: I join the slow-play bandwagon, as I am off to real class shortly, d'oh!]

Angela sticks her hands in her pockets. "I guess. There was some bad news from back home, so ... I guess it went as well as it could, you know?"

[The Doctor is dubious about talking to Chaucer. After all that happened, Geoff probably wouldn't want to see him.

But here he is, knocking on the man's office doorframe like a bloody masochist...]

[Geoff is sitting leaned back in his chair, feet propped up on the desk. He looks up from the book he's reading at the knock.]

Ten! [Puts the book down and drops his feet to the floor] Um, come in, please.

He laughs. "There's nothing about this place that would surprise me anymore. And, I mean it, Paige, don't withdraw, all right?"

"I'm sorry to hear that, Angela. What sort of bad news?" He motions her to a chair. "If you don't think it's too nosy of me to ask."

She nods smiling "I won't I just wanted to make sure I wasn't like pushing myself on you or anything cos you know, I think this whole starting again from scratch is the best thing for us."

She blushes slightly "sorry there is no us is there?"

"If I didn't weant you to ask, I wouldn't have mentioned it," Angela says a seat.

She sighs. "My parents are getting separated. Apparently my dad is dating this ... this woman he works with."

[He blushes slightly.] Er...hello, Geoff. I just came by to ~~see you~~...[long sigh] to apologise for pushing you into talking the other day. [He hands Chaucer a half-pound bag of French Roast (http://www.peets.com/shop/coffee_detail.asp?id=55&cid=100).] I was a bit of a bastard and I'm sorry.

Marty sighs. "The last thing I remember was walking with Rory and that dog of hers and then waking up the next morning at your place. Geoff... A lot of things happened Thursday night and anything you can tell me about how I ended up there would be helpful.'

((Veronica Mars may be questioning you as well. Just a heads up))

"I wish I could help you, Marty. All I know is that you showed up at my shop, alone, and acting very strangely. As if you were drunk or...maybe drugged. I barely got you upstairs before you collapsed. You were ranting about someone chasing you, and...popcorn? I think. And maybe a grocer?" He shakes his head. "You weren't injured, I just let you sleep it off. I've actually been wanting to ask you what had happened."

[She's welcome to do so. :)]

"Oh, God, Angela. I'm so sorry to hear that." Geoff moves his chair closer and takes her hand. "I know it's a strange thing to offer, but if there's anything I can do...if you need someone to talk to about it, or anything else. You know all you have to do is ask."

[Geoff colors a little, but smiles at the gift.] Thank you. And no, you weren't any sort of a bastard yesterday. There's...nothing to apologize for. If I'd been thinking straight, I wouldn't have said...what I did. Whether or not you asked me to. [He looks a bit uncomfortable.]

Would you, ah, like to sit down?

"There's us as friends, Paige. The rest...we'll work on slowly, as see where it takes us. But...not while you're enrolled in my classes, all right?"
