Eleven

Among the perils of being the parent of young children (two little girls in my case, ages six and four) is that there are times when you find odd things on your computer. This place, for instance. I found it bookmarked, and I don't remember being the one to do it. Still, it does seem like a pleasant-enough place

I'm a doctor as well, though I work at the Veteran's hospital. It's nice to meet you though, I'm Mercedes. And I've been thinking about having children myself.

Dude. The guy is a total chick magnet today. XD

[ieter_amumon]

And a fine calling that is. An absolute pleasure to meet you, dear lady.

Children are a blessing, to be sure, and a challenge as well. If it isn't too forward of me to ask, are you married?

Can you blame them? Athena is much more personable.

[sprangforth]

I've never had any complaints with it. What's your specialty? General surgery or something specific?

That's what I always hear. Oh no, I've never had the fortune of being married. I can't even get a date. I've decided to have a family by myself.

Quite so. ^_^

[ieter_amumon]

I do mostly general surgeries. I like to help as many patients as I feasibly can.

No one special in your life? Surely that is a crime somewhere, Miss Mercedes. Not that I have room to talk--I just divorced last year. Single parenthood... it can be a trial by fire. My girls can be handfuls sometimes, and I'm not even the custodial parent.

This is very amusing.

[sprangforth]

You sound a bit like me then.

No, no one special. I haven't had many special people. But I think most of that is because I can be a little off-putting. It's either that, or well I suppose I could be completely ugly and mean.

I can imagine, but I still want to try. All I have is my work, and I want something more.

He will be so flustered when he gets his memory back. XD

It does seem we have a fair amount in common.

I can't say if there's any reason to dislike you--I've yet to notice one. You seem perfectly lovely so far. Perhaps we could find out better in person? Discuss our common ground and the like over tea or some such?

Oh god they both will XD

[sprangforth]

Certainly seems that way.

I can be very strict, and blunt. And I don't often smile, I admit. Not that I'm not happy. Well thank you. Tea? Oh well, all right. I don't see why not? Tea would be nice.

Popcorn. I shall have it at the ready when the apologies begin. I promise to share. ^_^

[ieter_amumon]

Excellent. It would be an honor to have a tea with you. Is there a time and place that works for you?

It shall be epic and hilarious.

[sprangforth]

I do know of a very lovely tea shop not too far from my hospital if that suits you? Perhaps tomorrow? Around lunch?

Especially depending on how well the date goes. XD

[ieter_amumon]

That sounds perfect. Might I have the address, so I know where to meet you?

I should be easy enough to find. Look for a dark-haired chap with a British accent towering over everyone else.

Oh man haha, yeah that will be so funny XD

[sprangforth]

Of course. [address]

That does sound easy to spot. I'm rather tall myself, at least compared to most women. So it shouldn't be too hard to spot me either. Oh and I have long, dark hair. I suppose I'll see you tomorrow.

Awesome.

[ieter_amumon]

Indeed. Tomorrow, then.
