Two Pups for the price of one Jane and Tiwa-Barplace

Jan 17, 2009 16:05

Jane enters the Bar grumbling under her breath about Tom Lefroy and his ego. It takes her a moment to realize where she is and she takes a deep breath to collect herself as she tries to recall how to get a mug of tea.

Barty is sitting at a table, engrossed in a medical journal (written in Braille, naturally).

He's well within her line of sight, though, if she'd like to distract him.

Re: Jane jane_becomes January 17 2009, 22:28:52 UTC

He is a welcome sight and she gently touches his arm which she normally wouldn't do,

"Pardon me, Barty? I seem to have found myself here again."

Re: Jane waysthingsare January 17 2009, 22:33:00 UTC

He recognizes her voice immediately. (he's good like that.)

"Jane!" And he sounds delighted to hear her, too. "It's good to hear from you again."

Re: Jane jane_becomes January 17 2009, 22:37:16 UTC

"Thank you. I must say I did not expect to see this place again."

She does her best to quickly look around, she's not sure how she feels about seeing Tom again.

Re: Jane waysthingsare January 17 2009, 22:40:04 UTC

"Oh, it sneaks up on you. Can I get you a drink or something?"

Re: Jane jane_becomes January 17 2009, 22:41:05 UTC

"I was just trying to remember how to get some tea. May I join you and ask what you're reading?"

Re: Jane waysthingsare January 17 2009, 22:44:15 UTC

"Certainly!" he says cheerfully. "Just wave at a waitrat and tell them what you want."

He taps the page he's on, absently. "This is a study on leukemia."

Re: Jane jane_becomes January 17 2009, 22:45:20 UTC

She sits down and finds a waitrat, trying to just picture that the rat is simply a waiter,

"Would you like something? Leukemia, I'm afraid that word isn't familiar to me."

Re: Jane waysthingsare January 17 2009, 22:49:16 UTC

"I'd take an orange soda, sure," he says with a smile.

"Leukemia is a form of cancer. Do you recognize that word?"

Re: Jane jane_becomes January 17 2009, 22:52:24 UTC

"I have heard of cancer poison but I'm afraid that I'm not truly a reader of scientific journals."

Re: Jane waysthingsare January 17 2009, 22:54:45 UTC

"I doubt the research is as advanced in your time," Barty says thoughtfully. "At any rate, it's cancer of the blood or, in this case, bone marrow."

Re: Jane jane_becomes January 17 2009, 22:55:56 UTC

"That sounds quite painful. Is someone in your life suffering from it?"

Re: Jane waysthingsare January 17 2009, 22:56:55 UTC

"Oh, I don't know that yet. Call this preemptive research."

Re: Jane jane_becomes January 17 2009, 23:02:44 UTC

"Have you been learning anything of use to you?"

Re: Jane waysthingsare January 17 2009, 23:03:21 UTC

"Mostly just depressing side effects and life expectancies," he admits.

Re: Jane jane_becomes January 17 2009, 23:13:17 UTC

"Perhaps you should allow yourself a moment of respite to read a novel then."
