Monday in London was spent relaxing for most of the guys staying at the hotel that Skip's friend had suggested to them...that or at the bar that was right next door

"Why," the red headed correspondent says, a very sly little smile on her face along with her green eyes danceing, "do I not believe you?" After a moment she offers Nathan her hand. "Gwendolyn MacKenzie. Civilian Correspondent with the Associated Press."
Luz just shakes his head. "Hey- I have been trying to play nice with the boys, okay? It's not my fault it doesn't work half the time." Catching Bill out of the corner of his eye he turns his head in his direction, grinning at the other man.
"Because the press love looking for any kind of dirt? Let the guy have his fun," Nathan gave her another of his blinding 'trust me' smiles he usually tossed to the press.
He shook her hand, "Nathan Petrelli, just got transferred to Easy Company 506th."
Bill grins back, gives a short nod down at the woman that says 'lookit what I got' and then returns his attention back to dancing, just catching himself before he nearly stepped on her foot.
Gillian squeeks a little falling into Bill with a very embrassed 'oopsie' sort of look crossing her face. The music starts to pick up again- a jazzy little tune with the singers moving right along with the band. Even if the two aren't danceing for the moment it's a very surrel moment.
A few feet away Gwen just smiles one of her own work-related ones towards Nathan. "I follow the leads where they take me-"
"Which is usually to close to the font lines," George interrupts worridly, an expression on his face most of his friends there haven't ever seen before.
"-no matter where they may be."
Luz just frowns at the shorter woman, raising a hand to touch her arm gently. "The offer to talk to Winters to get you transferred to Easy is still open. I don't trust those Rangers enough to keep you safe."
"He's got a point," Nathan replied. "Front lines aren't any good, even with some protection on yourself. Without it..." Suicide. But of course, it was still common for war journalists to be without anything armor or helmets. They were supposed to be neutral parties.
It was only in Nathan's time that the rules changed drastically, and brutally for some.
Telling the War Correspondent it wasn't her place to be on the line was like trying to make a stubborn mule move. It wasn't going to happen. "I have been with the 5th Ranger Battalion since some of them were in North Africa," Gwen says mildly, looking between Nathan and George, though her words are mostly aimed at the radioman. "I know what I'm doing."
Luz looks back up at Petrelli along with a little shake of his head. It's a look the married man may know if he's ever used it on his wife before.
"New to Easy then? Where were you transferred from? State-side?"
Oh the idea that this wasn't Bill's sort of danceing didn't seem to bother Gillian at all. She stumbled right along just as much as he was- that was the fun of it! "Oh I know! Some of these people really know how to swing!"
Luz just shakes his head. "Hey- I have been trying to play nice with the boys, okay? It's not my fault it doesn't work half the time." Catching Bill out of the corner of his eye he turns his head in his direction, grinning at the other man.

"Sorry." He appologizes with a grin.

"I hope I'm not too bad at this. This is a lot different then what I'm used to." He finally admits.
