[Role Play] lovetolongago, parallel Earth and YETIS

[his_sarah_jane]

So far, living in the same flat hadn't resulted in any casualties. She reasoned that this was probably a good thing. The last time she had shared any sort of dwelling with a man had been over two years ago. It had been her brother (non-biological, but brother nonetheless) and it had been during the resistance against the Cybermen

"Right, then!" John called triumphantly, as he meandered back into view with an armful of brochures.

He hadn't seen a map straight off, save for one behind glass which he thought might be taking it a little far if he tried to grab, and he didn't want to keep Sarah waiting too long. Mostly because, considering their recent argument, he was afraid she might get fed up and storm off again. So he'd grabbed a little of everything. A three page fold-out on lions. A bit on the native birds of Africa they kept here. That sort of thing. With any luck, one of them would be a map, and if not? Well, there was nothing wrong with meandering around the zoo and looking at whatever caught their fancy, right?

"Should be a map here somewhere," he started again, once he'd reached her.

The camera, already out and attached to her wrist by that over-used strap, snapped a quick photograph of John and the pamphlets. Sarah was not sure she even wanted to ask how many he had grabbed. It almost seemed like enough for a short book.

"Sure you got it all, then?" The sarcasm was light and cheerful. "Every single animal, including the two-tailed dragon?"

"Oi, now."

It was in protest to the fact that she'd taken a picture of him, all but juggling the pamphlets more than anything else. He hated having his picture taken, for some reason. And if he had a hand free, he probably would have pointed at her, mock-accusingly. As it was, however, all he could manage was to make a rather comical face that seemed to suggest he'd swallowed an invisible lemon.

The expression was quickly abandoned at the mention of a two-tailed dragon, however, and suddenly he was staring at the brochures. "They have one of those here? Two-tailed dragon?" And if you had a bridge in Brooklyn to sell him, he'd probably buy that, too.

It was brilliant, sometimes, how quick she had become with snapping shots on her camera. Within seconds of abandonment, the invisible lemon face was yet as well preserved on film.

She nodded, reaching to catch one of the falling brochures.

"Yes! First time we made a trip to London from Liverpool, Dad took me to see it. Quite old now, John, but I believe it's still here. In fact, I bet..." Sarah leaned closer to him to whisper in a conspiratorial manner. "I bet he's the one responsible for our lizard baby."
