Andromeda Tonks - Post DH, tester for Cape and Cowl, etc - Hospital setting

Jul 15, 2011 19:32

Being an emergency room nurse did not leave much time for breaks, but sometimes your unit clerk came to the conclusion that twelve straight hours was a bit much for that particular environment. She'd been trying to distract herself from the strangeness of being in a place that apparently housed any number of people who had been for all intents and ( Read more... )

i saw "cape and cowl" and couldn't resist. screwmeister July 16 2011, 03:28:08 UTC

This isn't the hospital that Stein works at, but he has a lot of connections and that's why he's eating some indeterminable meal at a table that was previously unoccupied.

"Okay," he says mildly. She's not in his personal space, so he's not letting her know. This makes perfect sense to him.

I'm waiting to hear back on revisions for her app, so she might be there soon! andromynous July 16 2011, 03:40:01 UTC

"You don't look like you're from this wing -- are you from upstairs?"

She supposes it's also possible that he's a visiting physician. Hopefully he doesn't mind a little bit of a chat; Andromeda tries to have real and meaningful conversations on her break to counteract all the jargon she has to spout on the job.

awesome! screwmeister July 16 2011, 03:53:59 UTC

He is, in fact, visiting--it's likely that Andromeda has heard of the imPort-run mental hospital, though it's somewhat less likely that she'd know who the chief physician of it was, or that he was the man sitting across from her.

At any rate, he's not opposed to a chat and that's what matters.

"Oh. No. I don't work here." Of course he can also be as clear as mud sometimes. It's just the way he is.

Yeah, it seems like a super friendly place. andromynous July 16 2011, 04:00:07 UTC

She's heard of the mental hospital in passing, mostly because of her own personal snooping. She doesn't recognize him though, no.

"I'm Andromeda," she continues, smiling. "Are you enjoying your visit so far? The evening's been pretty quiet." As quiet as an evening in a busy hospital could be, at least. No mass causalities as of yet.

This is not the hospital that Simon works at, either. It is hardly what he is used to, in terms of medical equipment, but it is suitable, for what he needs. The original intent was to go in, grab what he needed, and get out, but the plans -- as they so often do, with the crew of Serenity, had changed. So here he was, sitting in the break room after stepping in to save someone's life, back in the ER, and trying to look like he belongs.

"You're not," he says absently. He glances over and gives her a polite nod. "You can have my seat, if you like."

Working for long enough in hospitals (wizarding ones, of course) has granted Andromeda a fair amount of helicopter vision. She'd seen his work in the ER.

"I'm just as happy to take the one next to you," she says, settling down to do just that. Her paper bag is set on the table and from inside it she pulls a few things - what looks like a slice of quiche and a very generous serving of fruit salad.

People could say what they liked about Severus Snape and his grumpiness as long as they made no mention of his skills in the kitchen. The quiche, curiously, appears to already be warm.

"You're new, aren't you? I haven't seen you before, but you knew your way around the ER well enough." Or he'd at least been comfortable in the environment.

"Oh, I'm just visiting," Simon replies. "I had to step in when I saw what was going on." He takes a sip of his coffee, carefully avoiding meeting Andromeda's eyes. He does glance a bit at the quiche and salad, though, eyes widening. It has been a very long time since he's seen any good food aside from protein.

"Simon," he adds, as an afterthought, and offers his hand. "I'm Simon Tam."

andromynous July 17 2011, 08:23:13 UTC

They seem to be getting a lot of visitors lately. Don't think she doesn't notice you eyeing her quiche, Simon Tam. Fortunately for you she's a mother, a wife, and a nurse - she knows that hungry glint in a man's eyes even if he refuses to meet hers.

"Well, visiting doctor Simon Tam -- I think that helping out in the ER at the very least earns you half of this overly-large meal that my," she wonders if 'flatmate' is accurate in this situation, "concerned party has packed up for me. You may have to scrounge for your own utensils, though." Running a duplicating charm in public would be a bit obvious, she's sure.
