chwe deg chwech: Leap Year.

[Ianto is sat outside the tourist office, his jacket hanging off the back of a chair as he takes a sip of his book and starts writing in his journal.]

I wonder if this place has a leap year. It would be unusual if it did but I guess it copies earth quite often anyway. If it does perhaps we can guess that it's in a similar sort of orbit at least. Who knows?

I suppose the other thing with the twenty ninth is that it's customarily permitted for women to ask men for their hand in marriage. Rather apt for the month that holds St. Valentines day I suppose although it's unnecessary nowadays but for some people it may still be in effect. Also it's not like they could make more of a pigs ear with proposals than men seem to.

Huh, I've never heard that custom before.

Hmm perhaps it's a UK thing. Where are you from?

I'm from Los Angeles, California. I'm also from the future, apparently.

Yes, time is all rather relative here. I had a friend here who'd come from a time before I'd even been born.

It still kind of boggles my mind, but I guess I'm getting more used to it.

It becomes second nature soon enough, how long have you been here.

[takethat]

I've been here three and a half months. How about you?

Sorry Friend is staying with me so it's the first time I've been able to get online :)

[kinky_stopwatch]

Ah, much much longer I'm afraid.

no worries!

[takethat]

Really? I'm always so intrigued when I find out people have been stuck here for so long...

[kinky_stopwatch]

Aren't we usually a little jaded?

[takethat]

Yeah... most of the time, anyway, but that doesn't make it any less interesting.

I suppose I'll have to take your word for it.
