Gun Club, noon

[mparkerceo]

It wasn't like there was a lot to do outside anyway. So Parker posted the rules, and opened up the range

Talk to Parker

[mparkerceo]

Ask her questions. Or do an interpretative dance. That would break up the monotony, wouldn't it?

After shooting, Jack waved his hands in the air, saluting the sun, and pirouetted gracefully, before bending down to the ground and leaping sideways four times, went to talk to Parker, coffee in hand. "Hey."

Re: Talk to Parker

[mparkerceo]

"Hey." Parker cocked an eyebrow at him, and took a sip of her own coffee. "How are you doing?"

Re: Talk to Parker

[anextimeagent]

"Okay." He leaned a hip on a table, and shrugged a little. "At least the dorms aren't underwater. And Isabel's back," he added, smiling brightly.

Re: Talk to Parker

[mparkerceo]

"There is that. Although what is this about a new fishy overlord? I couldn't tell if the Radio was joking or not." She grinned. "And yes, Isabel is. Yay for that." She shot River a glance, then looked back at Jack. "If not other things."

"It's Fandom. I'm assuming they weren't." Jack followed Parker's gaze to River, then winced slightly and drank his coffee, deciding the wisest course would be to shut up.

Re: Talk to Parker

[mparkerceo]

Getting non-verbal confirmation of Jack's problems with River, Parker briefly wished he were the telepath, so she could talk to him completely in private. "Have you talked to Isabel since yesterday? I need to check in on her after this, and see how she's doing."

Re: Talk to Parker

[anextimeagent]

"This morning," he said, relaxing as Parker didn't push. "Or last night. Late, anyway. She's okay," he added. "I think it's going to take her awhile to settle back in."

Re: Talk to Parker

[mparkerceo]

Parker nodded, quiet for a moment, then said, "Something happened out there. I'm sure of it. Maybe it was just the war. But she's not okay."

Re: Talk to Parker

[anextimeagent]

"No, she's not," he admitted, staring into his coffee. "It was a war. God knows what happened. And the Captain," Jack's lips tightened, "he said to be careful. Specifics would have been nice."

Re: Talk to Parker

[mparkerceo]

"Wouldn't they?" Parker glared at him a moment. "Grown-up you is a jerk fairly often. Don't be that guy, okay?" She sighed. "But she just got here, so... we can wait. Much as I dislike that option."

Re: Talk to Parker

[anextimeagent]

"Do my best. But he brought her back to us, that counts for a hell of a lot." He ignored the glare, figuring it wasn't directed at him, or at least not this version of him. "We can, but not forever, though."

Re: Talk to Parker

[mparkerceo]

Parker relaxed and said, "I doubt we'll have to. Once she's feeling better, is rested up, she'll probably tell us." I hope.

Re: Talk to Parker

[anextimeagent]

"I hope so," he said quietly. "I hope so." Shaking his head, he took a long sip of tea. "No point worrying about that yet." He touched the back of Parker's hand. "Thanks for calling Cedric for me."

Re: Talk to Parker

[mparkerceo]

"Of course. I would've done it in a minute or two when I thought of it, anyway. He's my friend too." She looked over at River again, then back at Jack. "I talked to River Thursday night. And got an invitation to visit her ship, sometime."

Re: Talk to Parker

[anextimeagent]

"Nice one," he said, grinning a little and this time not reacting at all to the mention of River. "I haven't managed to get one of those yet. You going to go?"
