[tehoniongirl]

...he's gone?

[coming back from LA was hard enough. With this, she can't even pretend to sound cheerful]

[not_theman_iwas]

Yes.

[That makes two of them.]

[tehoniongirl]

I-

[deep breath, try to force a smile] He'll be able to travel again. That's a good thing. [right?]

[wait a minute... checking her pockets. There's the sound of a chain coiling against itself as she rests it in her palm] I still have his key...

[not_theman_iwas]

You can keep it.

[tehoniongirl]

...thank you, Doctor.

[she wants to say more, but she'd only really begun to get to know him. It's hard, knowing she won't get the chance to know him better but-]

Are you alright?

[not_theman_iwas]

I'm fine.

[Suuuuure she is.]

[tehoniongirl]

Of course.

[pause] I'm working at the WildKat tonight, so... if you or- if you want, there will be a free cup of tea or coffee waiting for you.

[not_theman_iwas]

Thank you. I... Thank you. I might drop by.

[tehoniongirl]

You're always welcome.

[and Jilly would be keeping an eye out for her if she chose to stop in]
