laundry day

[blondieburke]

Juliet's outside hanging laundry on a line, enjoying a bout of good weather that she hopes stays for a while. She's in a good mood, her spirits lifted by the clean air and blue sky, and maybe the fact that in the middle of the week she'd enjoyed almost an entire bottle of wine at The Winchester and done something she hadn't done in years:

George wasn't sure how or why he'd ended up here, suddenly in front of someone hanging laundry, but it was better than being in the clinic worrying over patients who were just fine, or worrying over Meredith, who would be fine. A lot of George's time lately had been spent rather aimlessly, and he wasn't sure how to to go about fixing that.

He gave the familiar looking woman (another doctor, if he remembered right) a surprised, but bashful look. "Am I? I'm not exactly -- folding laundry's not my strong suit, but if you need help..."

[blondieburke]

Juliet laughs a little, shaking her head. "I'm sorry, I thought you'd be someone different. You don't have to help fold." Tilting her head to the side a little, she tries to remember where she's seen him.

"You work at the clinic, don't you? I don't think we work the same shifts, but I've seen you."

George held his hands out, palms up as if to inspect them for dirt -- none, as far as he could see, then shrugged as he dropped them back to hang limply at his sides. "Why not? I don't have much else going on right now. And yeah, I'm George. Dr. George O'Malley."

Juliet gestures to the porch, picking up a basket and holding it on her hip. "We can sit if you'd really like to help," she smiles softly, holding out her hand.

"I'm Juliet. It's nice to officially meet you, George."

Sitting with the basket between them, she pulls out a towel. "You don't live out here do you?"

"I don't know if lucky is the word that I'd necessarily use."

When he'd first met Haley, he'd smiled more; the BAU, the things that he saw int he day-to-day line of work, had beaten some of that out of him, but it's something that he's relearning on the island. He returns her smile in kind.

"I can try, though," he says.

[blondieburke]

Juliet's smile widens to something sort of sheepish. "I had no idea who would be on the other side of the sheet, but you don't have to help. Good way to meet people though," she points out.

Extending her hand, she introduces herself. "I'm Juliet."

[o_heart]

"I'll help," he says, stepping forward enough to take her hand and shake it warmly. He even manages a smile. "Good to meet you, Juliet. Aaron." He keeps his bodylanguage open and relaxed even if it's not exactly been his default setting, lately. He knows enough to fake it.

"I'm all yours."

[blondieburke]

She picks up a laundry basket full of towels, and gestures to her porch. "We can fold up there in the shade. And it's nice to meet you, Aaron."

As she walks, she looks over at him. "Do you live in New Atlantis?" She hasn't met all of her neighbors yet, but he doesn't look overly familiar to her.

Felicity was only there to pay Jack another visit, but it was just a coincidence that she saw someone hanging up laundry.

She didn't so much moan, just wish she hadn't been found, it wasn't that she hated hanging up laundry (certianly not when the weather was this agreeable), it just wasn't her favorite way to pass the time.

On the other hand, it wasn't like she had anything better to do till this evening.

"Very well." She said, turning to help her.

[blondieburke]

Juliet doesn't really expect the girl to stop and help with the laundry, but before she can explain that she'd spoken before registering who it was behind the sheet, laundry's being put up on the line.

"Thank you," she says with a little surprise in her voice. "I'm Juliet, by the way."

[spirited_lissie]

"It's only polite." She says-or rather, she's sure that's what her mother would think. "I'm Felicity."

She straightens the sheet up before taking some clothes pins to keep it on the line.

[blondieburke]

"Oh, well it's nice to meet you, Felicity. And thank you again for your help."

Juliet looks over at her. "Do you live here, in New Atlantis?"

Alistair hadn't actually been planning on stopping on his walk with his hound. The request of help, however, was not something he ever ignored willingly. He paused mid-step, turning to look at the woman who had spoken.

"Certainly, though I can't promise my folding will be very good," he said. Duncan, sensing they were stopping for a while, sat next to him and regarded the stranger curiously.

[blondieburke]

Juliet smiles a little sheepishly, tucking her hair behind her ears. "I was being cheeky. You don't actually have to stay and help if you don't want to."

She's a little embarrassed, because who asks a random stranger to help with the laundry?

[a_royal_bastard]

"Are you kidding? I'm looking forward to it now," he replied, waving off the suggestion he could keep going. He motioned for Duncan to stay where he was - white linen and dirty hound paws seldom mixed well. Duncan laid down in a sunny patch of grass, watching the going ons with some interest. "What did you need folded?"

[blondieburke]

Juliet picks up a basket, and gestures to the shade of the porch, indicating they can fold there. "Towels," she smiles. "I'm Juliet, by the way," she says, reaching out to shake her hand in greeting.

Flipping through a medical book on infectious diseases as she walked, Carolyn hadn't even realized that she was about to walk by Juliet hanging out laundry. Hearing her speak though, Carolyn lifted her gaze and blinked, not really knowing exactly what had just been said.

Pausing, she shut the book and tucked it under her arm. "Oh, Juliet, hi... What did you just say?"

[blondieburke]

Juliet freezes a little, then remembers to smile. "Oh, I...nothing. I thought you were someone else, I was just kidding. How are you?"

She realizes that she's talking too fast so she stops to compose herself.

[notdrfrasier]

Carolyn eyed her for a moment, but then quickly returned her smile. "Oh I'm good. No disasters this week, so my body's finally healing," she said motioning to her castless leg.

"How about you? Joshua said you hurt your shoulder during the hurricane. How's it feeling?"

[blondieburke]

"Give the island another week, I'm sure it'll think of something," she smiles, then nods a little.

"It's better. That's not the first time it's come out of socket, but God, it's never a good feeling. But he did a good job."
