On the other side of the door, there was an explosion.

Well, there was always an explosion somewhere on the other side of the door, but this particular one was in Scotland, and it was the kind of thing that scours the landscape clean. And it was also the kind of thing that resulted in the door coming open in a burst of heat and light and gas smell, which was good, because otherwise the man in military fatigues would have been thrown into the door, rather than through it.

The Milliways door closes. The man stays where he is in a smoking heap.

[OOC: I've got a meeting about a web site now but should be back sometime in the next half hour to an hour. Tag if you like- I'll respond when I get back. Back now.]

Wells stares at him for a while, and then sadly shakes his head, covering his face with one hand. "Fuck me sideways," he mutters. "How do you stand it? ... never mind, you mentioned drugs... that's bollocks, the lot of it. You poor bastards."

Must be entertaining hearing sentiments like that coming out of that face, hey?

He leans across the table to have a look at the photograph. "Cute kids," he says absently. "I've seen more cheer in a graveyard. But cute kids."

One hand strays to his front pocket, but stops there.

Preston smiles absentmindedly, "....Thank you." It's a precious thing, that photograph.

Preston's face darkens, "....It's going to change." as soon as possible., "If I have anything to say about it."

The tone implies, "Killing" and "Lots of it."

Another change in topic, "Do you have kids?"

Wells nods, taking up his pint again. "Good luck," he says. "And if you get the chance, put the boot in a couple of extra times for me, will you? Son of a bitch's running around with my face on- that's defamation of character, that is."

"Hm? Oh, just one," he says. "She's married, though, dunno that I'd call that 'kids'. Bit young for it, but so was I, so it runs in the family really."
