Monday Evening L'Orinoco

[lis_rouge]

On her way home from City Hall, CJ dashed in to Cuisine du Terroir and picked up enough food for Beverly, Ten and herself. Once home, she plated the dishes, everything from onion soup and a salad of baby greens with tomatoes and duck confit, to the main dish of Coq-au-Vin with sauteed green beans and crepes filled with mushrooms. She'd also picked

Ten kissed her back, then drank some wine. "I'll eat in the TARDIS so I can spy on you. Though I think Carol might be spying on you too, so that might work, as long as she doesn't swoon every time I ask her to pass the salt. Think it's the accent." He stretched a little and yawned. "Who's coming over?"

[lis_rouge]

She laughed and waved her hand, "Carol's three floors down. Eat in the TARDIS, you'll at least have control of the tv...and way less lace. And you won't have to deal with her dog." she said with a knowing look. The teacup chihuahua was adorable, but Carol treated her like a doll.

"The accent's actually why I want you out of here. Dr. Beverly Crusher is coming over to discuss some business about the Bahzir clinic and this idea for outreach she has...and I don't need her swooning over you too."

"Beverly...Crusher." He thought for a moment. "Oh yes. I don't think much fazes her, though. And you know I bloody hate that dog."

[lis_rouge]

"Yeah, but she loves you." she said with a wicked gleam in her eyes and she moved closer, "She wuuuvs you so much." she teased, then broke into laughter. "Do you know our newest doctor?"

[ten_sans_chips]

"If your definition of love includes Wanting To Chew Off My Ankles, yes, I guess she does." Ten took another sip of wine and nodded. "As for Dr Crusher, we met briefly and handwavily because dude.that would have been a pain. at the wedding reception. Lovely woman. Passionate. She reminded me of you, sort of."

[lis_rouge]

"Oh, really?" she smiled softly and moved back to get his plate. "I like her a lot. She's very no-nonsense and I really like the ideas she has. And you know how I feel about the Bahzir clinic. She wanted something private to discuss a few things that I think she thinks might be controversial for now. I'm not sure."

[ten_sans_chips]

"Not quite as sexy," he said, and smiled slyly at her. "Do you want me not to snoop?"

[lis_rouge]

"You can if you want. It'll save me the obligatory recap later so we can have the night free for other things." she said, returning his smile and passing him his plate.

[ten_sans_chips]

"Delightful. I'll just be over here, then," he said, taking his plate and grinning a bit more."

[lis_rouge]

"You do that. I'll be with you after a while. I'll save you some Tarte Tatin and we can see what the French do with puff pastry..."

[ten_sans_chips]

He raised an eyebrow and turned. "Oh, ma belle, I know what the French can do. I'd rather see what the Americans are up to, these days..."

And he headed for the TARDIS, humming.
