Well, things have certainly been busy. I suppose that's to be expected, given the condition some of the troops have been coming home in. I can't say I approve of all this fighting... but I suppose there's nothing to be done, now that we're in the thick of things. I just need to concentrate on my efforts at the hospital and not on things I can't ( Read more... )

Doctor, you work too hard. Let me bring you some tea...

monoclelove January 28 2009, 23:28:55 UTC

Oh, no. Really, you nurses work far harder than we doctors do. We treat the symptoms, but you care for the whole patient...

Still, tea would be welcome. Perhaps I could convince you to stay and share a cup with me?

ofthestrings January 28 2009, 23:45:32 UTC

Ah... [flattered but downplaying it] Don't be silly. I couldn't possibly.

monoclelove January 28 2009, 23:49:17 UTC

Oh, please. I insist. You'll be of no use to anyone if you run yourself ragged. I assure you, the hospital will not collapse if you take fifteen minutes out to have tea with me.

It's no trouble at all really. I wouldn't dream of neglecting my duties. Certainly not when we're this busy.

monoclelove January 29 2009, 00:15:56 UTC

Please, I insist. I could use the company, after all... and I can always have you sent home if I think you're overworking yourself.

I'll... get the tea then, shall I?

monoclelove January 29 2009, 00:36:29 UTC

Please do! I have cookies.

ofthestrings January 29 2009, 05:33:53 UTC

How lovely. I'll be just a moment then...

monoclelove January 29 2009, 06:05:59 UTC

Excellent!

[returns some time later with a steaming kettle and two cups]

I hope green tea is alright...

monoclelove January 29 2009, 20:09:11 UTC

[has cookies on a little tray because Hakkai is efficient like that]

Oh, of course!

ofthestrings January 29 2009, 20:15:43 UTC

[sets the tea things down, going to pour a cup for Hakkai, and then, almost reluctantly for himself]

Be careful. It's very hot.

monoclelove January 29 2009, 20:24:30 UTC

Ah, thank you. And please, help yourself. [gestures to tray] I hope things haven't been to demanding on you. It's been rather busy.

ofthestrings January 29 2009, 22:07:00 UTC

Thank-you, Doctor.

[brightly]

Oh no, I like to keep busy. It helps me keep my mind off... things.
