Office hours

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

She's hanging out in her office, staring out the window. This much snow makes her homesick...for DC. If she had better gloves, she'd go out and throw snowballs at Josh's office window, but she doesn't, so she doesn't. Earbuds in, she is NOT listening to something other than punk. Certainly not The Carpenters, which she doesn't sing along with either.

For some reason, the Doctor doesn't mind the snow. At all.

Even though he doesn't have to be in school today, he romps up to the humanities wing with a large takeaway tray of coffee, and begins to distribute it to his favourite coworkers. Especially this one.

Birds don't suddenly appear, because it's winter, but Ten does. He doesn't bother to knock, only watches her and giggles.

She's learned her lesson and the volume is low enough for her to catch the giggle. She turns her chair around and kicks her feet up onto her desk, grinning at him. "If it isn't just the person I was thinking of."

"I don't know if I should be offended that you think of me while listening to the Carpenters..." Ten replies, setting a mocha down on her desk. "I come bearing coffee for ma belle, but I can just take it back..."

"Oh, shut up. I like her voice." she smiles softly and takes the coffee, "Why on Earth are you up here on your day off?"

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

"I wanted to visit my favourite people," he replies. "'Sides, Maeve started to yowl at me. I think she wanted to stop being cuddled and go create havoc."

"I'm glad you came up." she takes a sip, then sets the coffee aside. "So you're here to deliver coffee...and what else?" she gives him a sly grin as she stands and moves around her desk to him.

"Maybe a kiss, if you're very good." He smirks at her a little bit and sets down the rest of the coffee. "After all, that's what's best in weather like this."

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

She rolls her eyes and returns his smirk. "When am I ever good?"

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

"I can think of certain times. Though never when you're in your office except OOG zomg."

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Doctor, you are incorrigable. I think you still have some teen hormones running wild." For all her sarcastic bravado, her eyes flash darkly at him for a moment, before she looks away and snatches up her coffee again.

"Probably'll take a few days for them to totally leave my system," he replies and gives her a slow look. He knows exactly what to do to her... "Until then I'll be insufferable."

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

She smiles softly and shakes her head. "You're always insufferable, Ten. How do you always do that to me?" She rubs her stomach to make the butterflies stop, then she walks around the desk to wrap her arms around him. "Thank you for coming up. I really am happy to see you."

After the Doctor

Jack knocks on the door. "Hello?"

She looks like she ought to, and smiles brightly, waving him in. "Hey, sweetie. Get in here."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack blinks. "Wow. You're you!" He comes in and heads over for a hug.

"I'm always me, Chip." She smiles and wraps her arms around him, "but yeah...back to normal."

He hugs her tight. "I know. I mean, I understand. I'm just glad to see you."

He steps back and hops up to sit crosslegged on her desk. "So what's this about making your students sing? My friend Isabel was freaking out last night. And can I just say, while the shock collars weren't my favorite thing, I kind of appreciate not having to make up and sing songs in class last semester even if I have a fantastic voice."

"I'm actually surprised any of them sang. All they had to do was write a song that could be set to music. Something in protest...something rebellious. Belthazor exercized his power by not participating. You know that impressed me." She smiles and sits in her chair again, kicking her bare feet up next to him. "I don't know why Isabel would freak out...she did just fine. Alienation is a great topic."

"And one a lot of people here have a certain affinity for," Jack said, nodding. "I may have given away one of your secrets. I told her she would probably get credit for having guts -- and that last semester one of the points was to disobey." Jack grins and shrugs.

"Oh, Jack!" she furrows her brows and leans forward, smacking his knee. "Don't go ruining my fun! Make people learn the hard way like you had to." sh sits back with a smile, and winks at him. "Is she really ok? Did that little bit of information calm her down?"

Re: After the Doctor

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack rubs his knee. "Oh, she's fine. She's still sort of settling in. Besides, she was one of the group that got attacked the other night." Jack's attention gets distracted. "Which reminds me, must make note to check in on Vala. When her overprotective boyfriend isn't there." He pulls his attention back. "But Isabel, she's still finding her place here."

"I heard the radio. Was that the same on who tried to get you?" Her smile fades, suddenly a mask of concern and a hard glint in her eyes.

Re: After the Doctor

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack nods. "The blonde one. Yeah. I've already promised Parker that I'm not going to let myself get grabbed and sucked, by the way. Same promise to you. And the story is, she's bestest buds with... wait for it... our favorite Crazy Squid Lady. So, you know, two people I avoid like the plague."
