51- Oh bloody hell. (Strikes squinty readable unless otherwise stated)

[thegooddrjones]

Oh god damn it, there should be laws against people putting things in bloody tea! Really! It was just tea, I knew better than to have more than one alcoholic drink!

I...

I think Snape's right about the Admiral being Bernard bloody Black.

Please, it was a lovely reminder of my childhood. It was good for me.

But I will take you up on that drink.

Spam/Log/Assume/Jump in Kurt's thread?

[thegooddrjones]

Still, I'm sorry.

Shall I meet you at the pub?

Er... let's spam

[stilladoctor]

In an hour?

Okay. I'm heading to bed fairly shortly, though.

[thegooddrjones]

Sounds good.

[An hour later, Martha headed toward the pub. She had showered and she'd taken a nap since she'd gotten back from port, but it still felt a little like she was jet-lagged from it. There was a sigh when she slipped inside the pub, and headed over to the bar. For whatever the faults were aboard, at least she didn't need to worry about having a love potion in her pint. Thank goodness for small favors.]

Hey, don't apologize, we've all had those moments here. I just hope you know I was prepared to track you down and play babysitter if you hadn't already done the deed.

I'm fine. How about you, aside from the obvious?

PRIVATE-Voice.

[thegooddrjones]

Thanks, I really appreciate it, even though I didn't at the time.

I'm... I'm all right. I got some sleep.

How are you feeling after the effects of the potion?

PRIVATE-Voice.

[thatlibbychick]

I'm still tired, although I seem to have slept for over 24 hours straight once it hit. I haven't slept again since.

Private.

[thegooddrjones]

Is it because of the dreams, or because of the port do you think?

Private; voice to type.

[a_bit_put_upon]

I... you oughtn't- it was... I'm... blast it-

[click]

No. You've nothing to apologise for. You've done nothing wrong, nothing without my consent as it stood at the time, you're no idiot nor some sort of conniver, you're... you... you're a very lovely young lady. You deserve far better than that- or me.

I should have known better. I should have realised, and even if we were addled, I should have endeavoured to behave. I cannot apologise enough, nor find some proper show of penance that would serve your honour.

Should you find me worthy now, your friendship is definitely still welcome.

Private.

[thegooddrjones]

Really, Doctor, you don't need to worry about my honour. I promise. Let's just agree that it's not either of our faults and chalk it up to the oddness of the barge, yeah?

Neither of us were behaving, and neither of us would have acted like that when we were ourselves. We just need to... put it behind us.

So yeah, no more beating ourselves up, mister.

Friends?

Private - because pouting makes it all better (and is one of his strong points).

[a_bit_put_upon]

...

......

don't give me more reason to

Yes. Yes, friends would be delightful.

Private. Pouting makes Martha smirk.

[thegooddrjones]

Fantastic. Wonderful.

We'll have tea have a drink in a few days then?

Private:

[ace_hits_daleks]

On the up side, at least it was only humiliating...

Private:

[thegooddrjones]

This is true. At least no one tried to kill me or eat me on this one!

[emptyyourself]

It makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

[thegooddrjones]

It really, really does.

[emptyyourself]

The drinks gave it away. I'm convinced he built that port just for us.

[thegooddrjones]

I think you may be right. He'd have found the pink and the random pairings rather funny.
