The Library is Open (01/30)

Rory's sitting behind the desk, tapping a pen against it and obviously deep in thought.

She's here for all your library aide needs, however.

"That's good," she replied. "And not much really. Just had psych, which got me thinking about a few things. Which, I guess, is good."

"What kind of things?" Parker put the adventures of the ninja and pirate aside to listen.

Elizabeth hesitated, glancing around to check that there was no one within hearing range.

"Things of a past life," she said softly. "We were looking at pictures, and there was one of Georgia O'Keeffe's which hangs in the National Gallery. I used to go there when I lived in D.C. It's supposed to be clouds and the sky. But the clouds can be seen as snow, which makes me think of Antarctica and then Atlantis."

She shrugged. "Things of another lifetime ago."

"You're missing it." Parker perched her chin on her hands. "And it's not like it *was* an entire lifetime ago."

Elizabeth nodded. "I do, yes. But it's not just that. I miss being an adult. I miss being the teacher, instead of being the student."

"I'd guess you would." Parker tilted her head. "I'm guessing that maybe helping me with my Russian study isn't enough?"

Elizabeth laughed slightly. "No offense, Parker, but that's something I could have done at this age the first time around," she said. "But it'll be something, so I'll be glad to help."

Parker studied her for a second. "I wish I could help." Friday's plan might need more support people... or it might not. Maybe she'd ask Liz, the closer they got to the event. "Are you going to go back there, when you can? Back to... Colorado, and points south?"

Elizabeth sighed. "I'd like to," she said. "But it's going to be a good ten years in the future at the very least. And I'll only go back in command again, so it'll depend on what she's doing.

I was talking with Janet about it at the weekend. About how I don't really know what I'm going to do this time around. I might just stay in politics on this world and actually run for something myself instead of always being behind the scenes."

"I couldn't do that." Parker made a face. "StuCo is headache enough. I'll be happy to be in charge of the Centre, because then I can fire people if they don't do what I say, as a last resort."

Elizabeth laughed. "Yes, I can see you doing that quite easily," she said. "I don't know. I've spent so many years in D.C., and I know it's something I could do. Cameron's convinced I'm going to end up as president."
