The edge of the Park - Wednesday afternoon

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

After he'd finished up in the Clinic for a bit, Wilson decided he needed to get a wriggle on and head down into town to get the supplies he and House would need for making their Thanksgiving dinner.

Swinging by the NPC Grocery store, the oncologist had gotten most everything they needed and had arranged for the groceries to be delivered up to the apartment, which would save him having to lug a big box of groceries through town. He and House really were going to have to discuss getting a Mini Cooper.

After the grocery store, he swung by a bakery to get the pumpkin pie his lover had specifically asked for and then a swing into a liqour store yielded a couple of bottles of wine. One for cooking, one for drinking. Bags in his hands, the younger doctor was now walking back through town, heading for home.

[ooc: Open if anyone wants to catch up with him before mun availability becomes sporadic until Sunday. Slowtime is love until this evening.]

Tex had closed her shop early. Holiday moods tended to be bad on her business, yet another reason for her to be cranky. She had one arm wrapped around her chest almost protectively, her bruises had gotten more colourful.

She grunted a greeting as she passed Wilson on the street, completely unaware of the duck peering around the corner of the street she just came from.

Wilson looked up to give one his habitually warm greetings when he recognized Tex and called out cheerfully.

"Hello, there! Happy Thanksgiving."

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

Tex raised an eyebrow. "I should go find a den or something for tomorrow."

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

The oncologist's easy smile spread across his face as he walked towards her.

"Now, honestly. I can understand hum bugging about Christmas and the like but what's to dislike about Thanksgiving? A day built around the violence of football and stuffing yourself till you are well within your rights to sit and burp?"

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"I'm always in my right to sit and burp," Tex smirked, cocking her head. "I don't need a damn holiday for that."

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

Lifting a finger, he pointed it towards her with an impish grin.

"But come on...admit it. It's fun to have the excuse!"

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

Tex blinked. "Sounds to me like you need to do more what you want instead of look for excuses first, doc."

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

Hands still holding the two bags, he set his knuckles against his hips and eyed Tex.

"And it sounds to me like you're grouchy. Ribs?"

He's a doctor and Fandom is like, ground zero for busted up ribs, he's beginning to be able to diagnose them in his sleep.

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"I'm always grouchy," Tex replied matter of factly.

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

Wilson smiled serenely, not taking her up on the conversational feint and instead waiting for an answer to his ribs question.

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

Tex gritted her teeth. "Yes," she grounded out.

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

"Want me to take a look?" He offered in a kind but direct and matter of fact manner.

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"It's cracked, but it's healing. Not much you can do, doc." Tex shook her head.

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

He bowed his head slightly in acknowledgement of her words.

"What are you taking for it? Are you remembering to support your back at night so you don't roll onto the bad side?"

Course that still didn't keep from being all doctor like!

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"Zhaan gave me some herbs," she sighed. "No."

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

"Which is affecting your sleep?" He asked the question with a respectful sort of assurance about the answer she was going to give.

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"I'm used to it," Tex for once tried to not sound annoyed, not that it was working.

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

Wilson made no move to dispute that fact but he did smile gently and encourage.

"If you tuck a pillow in behind your back, lay on your good side, it should help keep you from rolling in your sleep to the bad and waking yourself up. Also keeps you from aggrivating the injury in your sleep."

Tex for a moment looked stunned, then nodded slowly. "Fine, I'll do that."

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

He wasn't quite sure what he might have done to warrent the stunned look but Wilson nodded and looked down at the parcels in his hands.

"Anyway, I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving."

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I'm sure it will rock my socks off." Tex remarked dryly. "Have fun burping."
