It's been a long day.

A long week, actually.

(Gaeta won't even talk about what the past month's been like.)

Not having something to occupy his hands and mind -- a report, a stack of notes, even just a pen and paper -- feels awkward enough that Gaeta's taken to folding a small fleet of paper airplanes at his table. Being made out of napkins, all of them are too wobbly to fly, but that's not exactly the point; the point is to stay alert, stay awake, and do anything but sit around doing nothing.

...Even if it's much more likely that any alertness Gaeta currently possesses comes more from the three empty mugs rimmed with coffee stains, not the slowly massing collection of floppy aircraft.

When Carlisle was sworn in for captain duty, he had been bending paper clips. He figures Felix's intentions are much the same.

"Hello," Carlisle offers amiably enough. "Are you busy?"
ofthefamily: (don't you trust the doctor?)

"It's Carlisle, please, and I actually have a proposition for you."

A beat passes. How to put this gently?

"The last time we spoke, you sounded as though you could use a diversion."

"Not really, no." It's easy enough to smile at this, since Carlisle can relate. He is forward enough to claim a seat for himself as Felix cleans up his paper airplanes and leans into the table on his elbows.

"Have you ever heard of a sport called baseball?"

Entirely too bouncy for someone as poised as Carlisle is usually:

"Clearly this means you should sign up to play in the Milliways game we will be hosting."

Naturally.
ofthefamily: (the american pastime)

Carlisle leans back in his chair then -- he needs his hands to count off on his fingers the reasons why Felix should sign up!

"Endorphins are good for your body and they make you feel better; you probably have a good throwing arm with your mesomorph shoulders; you will meet new people; you can learn a new sport to adapt to your world..."

The coffee mugs are not reassuring as Demeter sits beside him, there's more silver in hair today and her voice is tired,

"Have you eaten today?"

"And how long ago was that?"

Its not his fault that all the mortals she knows seem to be trying to destroy themselves, he's just the closest one.

"Then perhaps you should have something more with your coffee."

She kisses his cheek and pulls out a fresh loaf of bread,

"What are you making?"

"What would you rather be doing?"

Sharon's nerves don't typically get too frayed, even in circumstance much more stressful than being in a bar.

But still being trapped in a magic bar full people she doesn't recognize has her rather on edge.

Which is why she's glancing over her shoulder for a second too long as she walks through the bar, carrying a mug of weak tea between her hands, and runs into Gaeta's table. Her reflexes are good enough to keep her tea from spilling over, and murmurs, "Frak, I -"

And then she looks to Gaeta, and seems to forget what she was saying.

Sharon doesn't move, neither in a twitch to glance at the locked doorway, nor a step back. Though they had been cleaned and even pressed since she first came in, her clothes are still gray sweat pants and a blue hooded sweatshirt over a sleeveless shirt - not exactly the kind of style an Eight would typically choose to wear.





"Sorry," she manages to finish, finally.

[identity profile] youask-why.livejournal.com 2009-08-23 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
It might be a little ironic that Sharon isn't used to being mistaken for every other Eight. She does look surprised, for only a moment, before her eyes drop, and her expression evens.

"I'm Sharon."

Her eyes come up again, though she glances a little desperately to the completely unhelpful rafters. "I was on Galactica, and I just -"

But she still can't really explain what happened.

[identity profile] youask-why.livejournal.com 2009-08-23 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
"No, I -"

Her lips press together for a moment.

"I'm not Boomer."
