Here and There

[fredless]

I'm thinking I am okay enough to pick up my training again. I think I even missed the meditation.

Thanks. For bringing the food over, I mean. You know how Wesley gets with the kitchen.

I managed to get my hands on something you might be interested in seeing. Let me know if there's a good place to meet you.

Feeling better yet?

Well, I just filtered to half the castle, I think. The least I could do is say hi.

[And now Fred's managed to lose herself completely in her lab, forgetting to close the journal that still rests at her side. The occasional clinking of test tubes can be heard. Glass slides being moved. Calculations being muttered under her breath...]

Comments

Fred

[likethetragedy]

You know I'm happy to teach you.

Elektra

[fredless]

Where do we think we should pick back up?

Fred

[likethetragedy]

Meditation. [She's never giving up on that one.] I'd like to run you through some of my collection too to see if anything clicks. [Weapons collection. She's packing to the shock of no one.]

Elektra

[fredless]

[Was that slight grumble audible?]

Fine....fine. That last part sounds promising too.

Fred

[luthored]

You mean with his massive repertoire of frozen dinners and fine wines? It might be cheap wine if I didn't bring over the good stuff from my restaurant.

[ She's exaggerating, but it's so fun to tease. B) ]

Lana

[fredless]

The freezer's pretty much a wall of cardboard.

[A laugh follows]

...wait. The wine's not him? What was I thinking?

[Someone wants in on that fun]

Fred

[luthored]

I think he's got better taste when it comes to the hard stuff.

[ Although Lana has never seen him drink it. Shut up, she doesn't snoop! She's a landlord who cares. ]

How are you feeling?

Lana

[fredless]

[Hold on, Lana. Now you've got Fred briefly distracted by the thought of whiskey-tinged kisses. Thanks for that. Somebody's been doing the gentlemanly wait until you're fully recovered thing]

I'm fine. Right as rain. Absolutely, completely fine.

[Geoffrey hears that clinking and muttering and curiosity overcomes him. He pipes up rather loudly.]

What are you doing?

[fredless]

Nothing? How'd you...[She looks around] I went and left that darn thing open again, didn't I? I'm just trying to sort a few things out.

[noblewomanspage]

[He laughs.] Did you think I was a ghoooost? Or that I broke in your room?

[fredless]

A ghost? No. [She laughs] We've got plenty of those, and they don't tend to be so vocal.

[Dictated - Fred]

[demonologist]

Well, hello to you too.

[There's a definite smile in his tone.]

Settling back in all right? You must be in the lab by the sounds of it.

[Dictated - Wesley]

[fredless]

As settled and settled can be.

[Which is sort of an answer. The bit about her lab earns a smile though]

And yes, that's exactly where I am. Of course I managed to leave my journal open.

[Again]

[Fred - forever]

[demonologist]

I know you like having your own space, but you're always welcome to crash here, you know that.

[He may be missing her just a tiny bit. The curfew at the Halfblood camp hadn't exactly allowed them to spend much alone time together. Then again, he's been mindful of her recent injuries and ordeals as well.]

New project?

[Back at ya]

[fredless]

[There's a whisper of hesitation there]

More like wrapping up some old ones...

[Wesley's offer, however, causes Fred to push her current pile of notes aside and give the journal more attention]

I've got some plans for tonight, but I can always swing by after? It might be late, though.

[akito]

...You work in a lab?

[ In the mind of little 'Zero' here, that means this person might know the doctor, which means she might know where to find him! Which means he won't get in trouble... ]

[fredless]

I do!

Well, at least when I don't let myself get too distracted and stay away from it for too long.

[akito]

Do you know Doctor Minami?

Fred;

[loisfuckinglane]

I like the sound of that. I can come meet you if you want.

Elektra

[fredless]

I'm up in my lab in Hyperion Tower, if you want to swing by? I'll leave the main door open.

Fred;

[loisfuckinglane]

Give me five.

dictated;

[shinybaldhead]

Yeah, I'm not pulling the Little Mermaid thing anymore.

Dictated

[fredless]

[She laughs]

And just when I was looking forward to going out and buying you a set of shells.

Dictated

[shinybaldhead]

Hey, I don't see anyone stopping you.
