Catching Up. [closed]

[radiantcourage]

As per their agreement, Hoshi took off for the Media Library. Admittedly, she wanted to research a few things herself, but the main reason for her venture was to see her friend again after what happened on the Oryan planet. Once there, she strolled through the rows while keeping her eyes peeled for the Doctor

The Doctor blinked, looking mildly confused at her question.

"Loads of things. You know how thinking is: very full of thoughts and all sorts of stuff." Evasive, as always. He hadn't been one for letting his friends and companions get too close to what he thought and it was really just old habit to deflect. "So. Here we are. Did you need something?"

He squinted at her. If she needed something, this was a bit roundabout, even by his standards, and he was trying to figure out if this was a human thing. Humans. Sometimes you could guess what they were getting at -- although really, they were much more straight forward as babies. He hadn't ever met a baby who wasn't straight forward. He supposed the older a human got, the more they forgot about being blunt. Herd mentality, maybe, not there was anything wrong with herds. He'd met some rather polite ones himself, even if holding a conversation with one was an affair in itself. Since humans were so...social, they were all rather keen on trying to get along and not making ripples by being too blunt, at least when they weren't trying to kill each other over all sorts of silly things.

He wasn't too sure why Hoshi came to him of all people. Still, considering his background and dabbling, there was a good chance he could help her with whatever it was she needed.

"Right... Okay!" Hoshi was still rather confused, but instead of lingering over something as idle curiosity, she decided to drop the subject for now. After all, if there was something he wanted to share with her, he would. She was content with that.

Oh, that was right! She almost forgot about her original purpose for meeting the Doctor at the media library. While most of her questions and other riff-raff was taken care of by Philip and her other friends, she did come upon the realization that the last time she met the Doctor face to face was when she was helping him clean out the TARDIS. That was months ago -- far too long in order to keep up with friends, in her opinion anyways. So, while this meeting was all nice and well, actually hanging out with the Doctor would probably ease up on any stray guilt she felt about not keeping up with this friendship like she did with her others that she made here on Stacy.

"I was wondering if maybe you and I could do something together? Like, grab a bite to eat, listen to stories of some kind, a sleepover... Whatever seems cool to you is cool to me!"

[makeherblue]

"Do something together," the Doctor repeated. That was a bit redundant, since even just sharing the same space or bumping into someone in the corridors technically fell into that "doing something together" bubble, didn't it? "I suppose we could do them all at once, you know."

It sounded much more entertaining that way than being boring and picking only one: an "or" option, really. Although a sleepover...well, he thought he knew what a sleepover was, just judging by the fairly obvious name. Loads of sleep, presumably, but given he wasn't human, he thought Hoshi or the other humans would probably be doing most of the sleeping. Maybe he could have a recreational nap in the meantime. Not quite his idea of fun, but it could be different.

[radiantcourage]

At first, Hoshi had a little apprehension rise up at him repeating her 'do something together' phrase. Wasn't it fairly common to use these days? However, the same apprehension faded away when he gave confirmation. "Awesome!"

The gears were turning in her head of what they could do, such as what she could make for it, as well as what she could bring to it, or what she could do to prepare for it. The anticipation was running through her body and it was probably evident with how wide her grin was and the light in those red eyes of her's. "Oh, what do you like to eat and drink? I can make stuff and bring stuff that I have over for us to do--"

It was clear that she was probably going to talk a mile a minute for a short while due to the ideas that were running through her mind.

The Doctor thought about it. "Not much of a fan of Stacy's sludge. Do you have fish fingers? They're rubbish without custard, you need the custard. Or!" He held up a finger. "Berries and croutons."

As for drinking, well. Not much of a drinker of that alcoholic stuff people like Eva were so fond of, especially with his taste buds. He supposed a human might not mind but for those of them in the galaxy with, you know, an actual sense of taste compared to a human, Earth drinks were rather disgusting. He thought about it some more and shrugged.

[radiantcourage]

Hoshi thought about his request, folding her arms over her chest. There was a lot of food at the Masaki house, so they probably had fish fingers, or the ingredients to make them. As far as the custard was concerned, she could probably make it, too. "I can make both!" She'd have to find a recipe somewhere in the Media Library, too.

At his shrug, she pursed her lips together and thought about the drinks at the Masaki home. Well, there was the fruit smoothies... "Have you had a smoothie?"

[makeherblue]

Good, she could multi-task. The Doctor tilted his head at the question. "Must've at some point. The little drinks with the smushy bananas?"

He wasn't too sure how he felt about bananas these days. He remembered liking them rather well but that was also literally a lifetime ago. Two, if you wanted to be technical about it.

[radiantcourage]

"Something like that, but they can be made with different kinds of fruit, like blueberries, strawberries, just to give a couple of examples," Hoshi explained, also thinking about what would be good to compliment the different desserts she was going to make.

Well, there was nothing better than give people choices about what they wanted to combine with their food. That was how restaurants worked, anyway.
