"It's not bad but I wouldn't say I like it particularly much, to be honest."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 7:53 pm

"I have had good tea here on occasion, at the least."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 8:01 pm

"Might be worth remembering for next time then."

"How have things been going for you anyway? I have to admit I've been a little self-absorbed. Still swamped with people knocking on your door?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 8:02 pm

"I've been thinking of just having it replaced with something that revolves."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 8:10 pm

"Maybe just someone who keeps some of the things people come to you with out of your hair."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 8:12 pm

"You're not the first to suggest that, but I've been trying to contrast between the layers of separation Dom had."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 8:17 pm

"I know, you want to stay in touch with the students but you might have to delegate some things. I mean you're still counseling half the telepaths on top of everything."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 8:20 pm

"Those that will have me, aye."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 8:25 pm

"And of course you haven't considered transferring a couple of them to someone else." she notes with a certain amount of sympathy in her voice. She can, after all, imagine why Sam hasn't done that.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 8:29 pm

"Charles made it work. All of this, really. I rather want to be up to that challenge."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 8:33 pm

"And you are, which is admirable. But at least get someone to help with the paperwork."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 8:52 pm

She chuckled.

"But I'm not buried under it yet, honest," she protested.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 8:56 pm

"I'm not coming to dig you out of it." she warns Sam with the hint of a smirk.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 8:57 pm

"Not even once I'm properly dessicated? I'd be rather like a mummy," she teased.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:06 pm

"Oh I'm sure I could find a proper burial ritual to perform on the parchment tomb."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:09 pm

She snorted.

"By that point, most likely viking."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:14 pm

"If that is what you'd prefer..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:25 pm

"Most efficient way to get rid of paperwork, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:27 pm

"Just get a damn secretary." she chuckles.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:53 pm

She laughed.

"Yes, mother."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:58 pm

"Oh careful. You may not look the part but you are the older one here." she chuckles.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:59 pm

"Suppose neither of us can claim the title of being the sensible one."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 10:08 pm

"There are times to be sensible. This doesn't appear to be one of them." she smiles faintly.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 10:09 pm

"I'll keep that in mind, aye."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 10:21 pm

"I'll let you know in advance which days are going to be the sensible ones." she smirks slightly.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 10:23 pm

"Ah, where's the fun in that? Is this going to be lunar? Governed by the tides?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 10:26 pm

"I believe we settled on heliocentric. So watch out for the solstices."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 10:28 pm

"I'll secure a freshly-slaughtered goat in advance."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 10:34 pm

Nailah just laughs and smiles at Sam.

"This is much better."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 10:36 pm

"Aye. Want to pick up where you left off when we get back to campus?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 10:44 pm

"Maybe some other day. Though I get the feeling you're going to offer me advice."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 10:45 pm

She smirked.

"May as well get into the spirit, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 10:48 pm

"That is how we ended up in bed together for the first time."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 10:49 pm

Samantha snorted, and then in saccharine clasped her hands over her heart.

"Ah, you remembered!"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 10:54 pm

"Frankly, it is hard to forget." she teases.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 10:56 pm

"I thought that was what the alcohol was for."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Jan 23, 2011 7:12 am

"No that was so I'd be less nervous." she admits.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sun Jan 23, 2011 2:33 pm

"Needn't have worried, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Jan 23, 2011 2:37 pm

"The bizarre part? I knew that, yet I still did."

by **Melpomene** » Mon Jan 24, 2011 4:19 pm

Well, that's about as much of that as I can stomach.

The woman in the back of the cafe stands up, straightens her clothes and heads for the back-door. No one seems to bother stopping her, or take much notice of her to begin with, really.
