So, hey...

[Hey, Keelial. Remember him? He looks a lot more tired than before, his hair is ruffled and his shirt looks partly undone. It looks like he's sat in the College.]

Anyone noticed the pattern on the Turtle's shell? It's... pulsing. It started like... three? Four days ago? The time between the pulses is getting shorter.

I'm not sure what this means, but... hey. It sounds important, right? I've done some math and, well... I think... [Yawn.] ...I think the pulses are gonna stop in a week or so. If the period between them keeps getting shorter.

Assuming that's what this is.

And then you will rest?

[consultingbishop]

You have my word.

[celticromanstone]

I'm Heather, by the way. I'm a nurse at the healer's guild. Being bossy comes with the territory.

[consultingbishop]

Peter Bishop. And I kinda figured you were someone medical. The obsessive questioning of my health kinda gave it away.

[celticromanstone]

Concerned, darling. Not obsessive.

[consultingbishop]

Don't those two words mean the same?

[It's said jokingly.]

[celticromanstone]

[ She chuckles as she's supposed to. ]

That depends on the person using them.

[consultingbishop]

Well, I've been known to have an odd sense of humour.

[celticromanstone]

Mmm. So have I. I've always thought that the others not quite smart enough to keep up.

[consultingbishop]

The others here?

[celticromanstone]

Ah, no. Back home. I don't know very many people here.

[consultingbishop]

Oh, yeah? They seem like a friendly bunch.

[celticromanstone]

Oh; there's quite a few that I'd like to get friendly with. But there's been no time yet.

[consultingbishop]

Oh, yeah? [He grins.] Well, lemme just say that I prefer not taking the friendliness past regular ol' friends, if it's all the same?

[celticromanstone]

[ She smiles right back. Then, she props her chin on her hand. ]

Of course, darling. But if you're ever lonely, feel free to find me.

[consultingbishop]

[An amused snort.]

Thanks for the offer, but I usually like starting with a coffee or a beer. [He grins.] Unless that's too slow for ya?

[celticromanstone]

[ Chinhands. You're adorable. ]

Make it a nice glass of wine, and you've got a date.

[consultingbishop]

[He is adorable. And he knows it.]

I'm assuming you know a place?

[celticromanstone]

[ A single shoulder shrug. ]

Not a clue. I'm still new to the place. And you don't seem the Fire Sector type.

[consultingbishop]

[An amused twitch to the corner of his mouth.]

Oh? And why's that?

[celticromanstone]

[ She grins. ]

Because you very pointedly flashed that ring at me, so unless it's just the utter gorgeousness that has you put off, you're not the Fire Sector type.

[consultingbishop]

Well, if you're insinuating that I can't hold my liquor enough to hold myself away from you, I'm taking that as a challenge.

[celticromanstone]

I'd never insinuate such a thing. I'm sure you're a perfect gentleman at all times. Which also means you stay away from much of the Fire Sector.

[consultingbishop]

[And his grin spreads wider.]

Fire sector it is.

[celticromanstone]

I do know of one place, but he'll expect to get part of my fee for entertaining you.
