who: Alex Reagan and Open what: May normal stuff, plus mingle stuff and possibly sickness plotting stuff. when: Month of May! where: All over Riverview. warnings: Possible illness stuff, shippy stuff.
Maybe. But that would be really obnxious to mess with the coffee maker. Even my friend Nic wouldn't stoop that far!
[Probably. He better not. Besides, he wasn't much better than she was with what he did on Tanis. But the mention of Strand just makes her smile bigger.]
Yeah. That's him. [A beat.] I'm sorry if he was an ass to you, but I would guess you understand men who are asses at times.
[Look, she's not saying she's compared him to Darcy before and she hasn't even gotten the hotel proposal yet but she's definitely done it before to Nic and Amalia when she was drunk.]
He seemed alright to me. [In truth she felt nothing in way of an opinion for him.] A little proud, perhaps, but then we met during the festival of the lanterns, and you cannot deny that the locals here could be rather pressing with their traditions. I had to lend him some books of my own, just so as to give him some peace.
[She eyed the try of cookies on the table.] May I?
Go right ahead! [Alex lifted the plate of cookies and offered it to Elizabeth with a grin.] I should have offered before, honestly.
[Sometimes Alex let herself be easily distracted. It was a thing that happened more when she was less rested, but also something that happened when she was talking about Strand or the show more.]
But yeah, I think he's being on his best behavior right now, because he's so new and I asked him not to get punched. Sometimes his attitude makes that harder than I'd like it to be, honestly. [But it's clear that she wouldn't change a thing.]
[She accepted one of the cookies, not taking a bite just yet.] To hear that, he sounds like someone else I know. [She smiled, recalling the book. However there are many details that are wrong, the spirit was still here.] Actually, he does remind me a little of Mr. Darcy, if you would believe it.
[Only she referenced herself telling him not to get himself punched, so she guessed Dr. Strand wasn't skilled in the deadly arts.] He is a doctor, yes? I suppose with all of that studying and research, social skills had to be sacrificed.
Yeah. He definitely has his Darcy-like moments, sometimes. And he can be just as rude and headstrong. [Alex doesn't even know about his most Darcy moment yet, but it's certainly something that she will probably mention later on. Instead Alex just smiles and takes a long sip of her coffee before setting it down and gesturing to the cookie that Elizabeth was holding.]
You should try it. They have the best cookies in the city here. But yes, he's a doctor and he's a skeptic, and I swear he thinks that niceness is something that will make people believe him less rather than more.
[Someone she once interviewed described Strand as someone who enjoyed pulling the blanket off of people who needed religion, and while she once agreed, now she didn't.]
