Professor Chaucer's Office Hours, Monday

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

Professor Chaucer is in his office, reading a book on American geography. (Yes, geography. And he thinks it's interesting, too.)

"Commission?" She asked hopefully.

"All right. I'll need to know a few things. First, do you have a topic in mind? And I mean, specifically. Love, friendship, flowers...camels...the color of his hair..."

Geoff gives Phoebe a mischievous grin. "Then, I'll also need to know if you have a preference for the style, if there's anything you absolutely don't want in the poem, and what your deadling?"

"I love him and I believe in him." She says faintly. "Deadline? Obviously before you leave," she laughs.

"Obviously that!" He laughs. "All right. I promise you, I'll have it finished and in your hands before I leave."


[ooc: "What your deadling"? *facepalms* I swear, English is my native language.]

"Geoff... after you leave here, I'll see you again, right?"


[[ OOC:But it's such a cute word!]]

"I don't know, Phoebe. But...honestly?" He looks very serious, and very sad. "It's doubtful. Even if I were able to stay in this time, I have no way of knowing if I could ever get back here. You know how this island is. It controls who comes and goes, and I don't think, once you give it up, that it's keen on letting you back in."

"I'll miss you," she says softly. "You're a dear friend."

"I'll miss you too, Phoebe. If...I can work it out, where I can manage to stay in this time -- and I have it in my mind to try, because there's...someplace I'd like to go, to keep a promise I made -- then I'll write you?"

[sensethevisions]

"If you can, please do, Geoff."
