After lunch at the Dive, Tony walks CJ home.

*Tony again puts out his arm for CJ to take. He tucks her hand around his elbow with his and then leaves his hand on hers.*

Which way do we go?

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Back through the park. *She nods in the direction they came from*

Thank you for lunch. That was very kind of you.

[callingtheshots.livejournal.com]

It is easy to be kind to such a lovely woman. I enjoyed your company more than I can tell you, and look forward to more of it.

*he looks at her, part hopeful and part apprehensive. Had he said too much?*

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

*Still oblivious to his intentions*

I'd like that...*sighs*...a normal friend would be nice.

[callingtheshots.livejournal.com]

*wonders how normal he has to be*

I would very much like to be .. ... .. your friend.

*wonders if his chance and seeing more of her in a biblical sense is totally shot by that. Decides he doesn't care.*

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Great! *She smiles brightly and squeezes his arm*

They seemed to have cleaned the ... riot mess up pretty quickly around here. They must have some great city crews.

So do you have a house here in town or an apartment? There doesn't seem to be a lot here, though the new bank seems really nice. I haven't seen much else of the town yet.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Mm, I have apartment, but it's back that way *points* but I have to take care of the Doctor. I promised I'd come back after church, but I'm sure he's sleeping so he probably won't even notice that I'm late.

My place is on our way, sort of, wh=ould you like to stop by for a drink?


((**total snerk here** I can't help myself!))

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Your, um...club? *looks wary*

[callingtheshots.livejournal.com]

I live upstairs, it is a small little place, but clean, and well stocked. I can make us coffee, or soomething stronger if you prefer... I have a private entrance, nobody will see the nice schoolteacher going into a nudie bar, I promise. *he chuckles* Really, I promise to protect your good reputation.

*he smiles at her. It was nice to smile at a woman and not get a kink in his neck*

[callingtheshots.livejournal.com]

*Tony turns and walks through the park towards his place. There is a pronounced spring in his step.*

[The Doctor watches him go. There doesn't seem to be animosity in his gaze, just a touch of fear.]

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

*CJ shifts her weight from one foot to the other*

I thought you were staying in bed...

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[He shrugs, testing his shoulder.] I couldn't sleep, shoulder hurt too much. So I thought a shower might help, and then the TARDIS alerted me to your proximity. [He digs in a pocket.] I was going to give you a key, but Mr Phale has the spare that I was going to give you.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Oh, um...Mr. Phale said to give you his regards...

At church.

*Bites her lip*

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

Ah, so you still go. [isn't upset about this, but his voice is still a bit taut] I was wondering, but I'd forgotten to ask. How was the service? The good Father seems to be...a bit...lost at times.


...Good to hear that Mr Phale's doing well. I should go round tomorrow and get my key.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

*Winces*

Um, the service was fine. He read from the book of Ezekiel...the prophecy of the rising dead. Fitting.

*Looks uncomfortable*

I cried, and Tony...um...gave me his handkerchief and took me to lunch. I'msorryI'mlate.

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[quotes] 'So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.' Quite ironic, yet effective, I'd think.

[looks at her] You don't have to apologise. Was lunch nice?

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

It was...Tony's from New Jersey. We had a nice talk.

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

That's good. [puts a hand on her shoulder, ushers her inside]

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

*Walks in ahead of him*

I missed you.

[callingtheshots.livejournal.com]

(((thank you both for a totally fun evening, hope to do it again soon! I have to sign off and go home from work now. See you both in Fandomtown. :) ))

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

((It was fun! See you at Mass, if not before...))

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

((Ta! See you later.))
