[She comes in and sets up the regular Friday snack buffet. She's got Chicago in the player, unsure if she's going to have any students show up...and doesn't really care. She's lost in thought...]

Heathrow is a nightmare, isn't it? I mean, I get the tight security...it's just so huge!

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Oh, god, yes. And trying to get from Terminal 1 to Terminal 4? Worst thing ever.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

It is. I was lucky enough to not have to deal with the terminals too often. It is a great place to people-watch though.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

*tilts head* That is true. As long as you don't end up having a family with six screaming children come and sit by you *shudders*

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Isn't that the fun of the airport, though? Running away from those people? [Laughing, she goes and grabs some coffee, and comes back.]

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

*grins* Not when you're in the middle of a treaty revision and you've just got the change you wanted for Paragraph 85, and one of the kids bumps into you and you loose it!

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Did that happen, oh I'd be livid!

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

It did! It took everything in me not to turn around and scream at him. They were lucky that I'd slept the previous night, else I wouldn't have been able to control myself that well!

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

[She laughs lightly] Now see, aren't you glad you don't have to think of a cover story for that? [smirks]

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

*smiles* Very glad. It's nice not having to hide things from you anymore. It seems like the longer I do, the less I feel like myself.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

That's not good. To thine own self be true, E. Like I need to tell you, right?

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

*laughs, slightly harshly* I know. But there's so much I'm not allowed to tell. I'm supposed to be a junior in high school, which is not something I've been for twenty years. I can't be me, because the me I am has graduated high school... graduated college - three times over in fact, and has completed her education.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Well, you can be yourself around me, at leat. Oops, here's Piper. [SHe tenses a bit] So why'd you sleep on the roof, E.?

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Thank you. *glances across at Piper*

Well, there was a frog infestation on the second floor of the dorms. Cam and John were camping up there, so I went to visit. Then Charlie came up, and I was leaning on him, and just... well, fell asleep.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Frogs? Like the ones D'anna had around her yesterday?

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Yeah. They seem to be dying down now. Although it's slightly worrisome. You've not seen any water turning to blood or anything, have you?

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Um, no. But if I do, you'll be the first to see me running for the hills.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

*grins* That's good. And I will be joining you in runing to the hills. Around this place, the ten plagues of Egypt unfortunately wouldn't surprise me!
