Does anyone need last-minute books for homework over the holiday?

Parker walks in, hears this, and grins. "Or Balzac. Or, here's an idea, Dominic Dunne? That won't use any extra brain cells." She perches on her usual stool and yawns hugely.

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

Perhaps Milton...I have plenty of brain cells, I think that I could tax a couple with him. [He gives Parker a big smile.]

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker wrinkles her nose at him. "Don't we have enough evil to wrry about? Besides, that long list of demons always puts me to sleep. And from what I'm learning here, it's not even accurate." She cocks her head. "Unless you're not getting Paradise Lost. I heard the History of Britain was good." She grins at him. "What beach are you going to?"

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

California. The only beaches worth going to. [He grins.] Maybe I was getting Milton confused with Donne.

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

And what's in California?

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

CJ's father, and beaches, and San Francisco, and Chez Panisse. [Ten gives Methos a brilliant grin and looks like he's trying not to bounce.] You could come too, I bet.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker grins at them both. "Chez Panisse? Oooo." She pokes Methos in the side. "Soneone could pick us up souvenirs. If he went."

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

Ow. [He tries to scowl at Ten -- and fails miserably because he's in too good a mood.] You're entirely too cute when you do that. Go to California? With you? And CJ?

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

Well, she'd have to acquire you another ticket, but that probably wouldn't be too hard, because she has connections like that. And there is no such thing as too cute. [He tries the grin again.]

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"He's got a point. And? Souvenirs. Say it with me."

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

As I think my students would probably start screaming, "Gross! Gross!" if I kissed you right here, you're just going to have to wait until later to get what's coming to you. California? I suppose, if I *must*.

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

You're brilliant, and yes, you MUST. Oh, and Jack's coming too. But we're planning on locking him in his room or forcing CJ's brother to give him the Man Talk at some point. [The grin grows even wider, almost daring.]

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker's eyes get round. "You're mean, sir. I'm telling Harkness on you."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

{{At least SOMEBODY loves me. *snuggles Parker*]]

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

{{*Pats you on the head* Your new parents are *weird*, dude.}}

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

All right. That's it. I can't resist. [He leans over the collections desk, grabs Ten by the lapels, and kisses him soundly.] You're ridiculous.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker rolls her eyes, then smirks. "~Someone's getting smooooochies, someone's gotta cru-ush," she sings.

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

I'd say it's more than a crush, Parker. [He's now wearing an indelible smirk.]

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

[Methos grins in response.] Parker, I think you're too young to hear this.

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

Why, are you planning on saying something that isn't rated PG? [Ten leans against the Circ Desk and grins again.]

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

Well, she seems so uncomfortable with the concept of two -- well, three -- consenting adults in a loving and committed relationship. I'd hate to make her uncomfortable.

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

God forbid you shock her, Adam. I'm sure her tender innocent ears couldn't take it.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Pffffttt. I'm comfortable. I'm fine." Parker doesn't quite manage to look it, but she's making a game attempt. "I just wonder how big the bed has to be. Or if you even bother. And how exactly... And then I decide I need to shelve something. Carry on."

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[Ten kisses him back, unaware that his hair now looks even more disheveled.] Now THAT...is just what I needed today. [He smirks just a little.]
