And all you see is where else you could be...

There are a few people mulling about the Conrad today.

Lavendar is curled up in the common room. She doesn't look nearly as lively as she normally does, and she seems even distant. She's only just heard of Penny's death (she had been out and about with her park children) and now she's come back, in hopes that, maybe, it was all some horrible lie

Rose saunters into the cafeteria, smiling and humming. She's playing with the pendant of her necklace. When she spots Ianto she smiles. She's meant to catch him for coffee sometime, after all.. Dropping next to him with little to no preamble, she drops a coin (one of the heart imprinted ones) in front of him.

"Looks like that hurts," she says gesturing to his wrist, "you alright?"

If Rose hadn't dropped the coin onto the table, Ianto might not have noticed her right away. However, she had, thus he gives her a small smile.

"Actually, it doesn't." But he doesn't even want to think about the day he actually obtained the injury. It's never a pleasant feeling to have bones shattered. "But I am, yes."

He looks to his own cup of coffee before glancing back up to her and closing the files, "Would you like a cup? Or would you rather tea?" He could very well make both, if needed.

She shakes her head cheerfully. "Nah, not me. I'm hyper enough as is. Anything with sugar or caffeine and I think I might start kissin' folk or something equally as strange, or socially unacceptable."

Actually, she's kinda at that point as is, but she's refraining from kissing everyone who looks like they need a kiss. They might get hugged though. Randomly. And with much enthusiasm.

"I'm just lookin' for some company," she admits with a smile, "and you looked like you'd rather be doin' anything but whatever it was you was doin', so I thought I'd see if you'd mind a distraction. If you really wanna get back'ta your work though, I can go."

Here Ianto, have a ridiculously happy Rose. Who just might hug you randomly.

"Now that would cause a bit of commotion." Ianto laughs lightly and picks up his mug to take a sip. "But point taken."

He straightens some of the papers in the files before stacking them and setting them aside, "Paperwork is always a fine joy." Though there is sarcasm dripping from every syllable. Really.

Random hugs? Well, Ianto might be a little hesitant, but she might get a friendly, one-armed hug in return. It takes a little bit to get past his surface, but he'll warm up eventually.

Have some real and true horror.

Rose recoils at the mention of paper work and makes the child's king cross sign with her fingers to keep the evil at bay.

"Blimey mate, I don't envy you one ounce, paper work is my worst enemy, I think." Never mind Daleks, Cybermen or any of those things, no. Just paperwork.

Eying up the dreaded paperwork and slowly eases back into her former position, though she looks ready to bolt if the paper work seems to multiply..or, you know, develop a mind of it's own and come after her.

Somberly Rose leans across the table and hugs Ianto. "You have my deepest sympathy though, really. D'ya need anything? Weapon? Therapist? Punching bag?"
