The roof, Tuesday afternoon

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia had handwavily found out that apparently they'd never gotten around to processing her unenrollment, had gotten the keys to room 507 back, and moved all her things back into the room.

Now she was sitting crosslegged on the roof, staring out over the town, and once again ruminating about time differences and the unfairness of it all.

Furrball lay curled in her lap, having not been willing to leave her alone when she'd returned, and she scritched between his ears absently as she thought.

It was slowly occurring to her that she might actually have to talk to someone about some of the things she'd done in Argentina. And that there was two people in particular she could think of who might be able to help her deal with it all.

She was just pretty sure she didn't want to deal with an "I told you so" from either of them.

[ooc: so very much open.]

Jamie? Probably not one of those people. Just as it so happens he's wandered up to the roof. "Hey Santos. You move back in without even a phone call? Or a 'Hey I'm back in town let's split a brownie!'"

The tone of his voice and the smile on his face clearly indicates he's glad to see her back.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia smiled back, though it was slightly strained. "Hey, Jamie. I'm as surprised as you that I'm back so soon. Thanks for looking after Furrball."

"Not a problem," Jamie said sitting down on the ledge and rolling up his sleeve to show a nasty looking scratch. "He mostly tried to keep me from moving stuff onto your side of the room.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia looked from the scratch down to her cat. Then she smirked.

"Gooooood Furrball."

Furrball started to purr at great volume.

"Walter told me this morning that you came back but not why," Jamie said cautiously. "Everything okay?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia shrugged. "Fine. I'm a free woman and everything. It just wasn't exactly what I expected."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Really? What happened?" Jamie asked. "Unless this is just me being too nosy in which case I'll be quiet and enjoy your company."

Pip, luckily, was out of the dress by this point, and had decided to come up to the roof for a post-dress wearing smoke.

"Hiya Nadia."

[nadiathesaint]

"Hey, Pip. Having a good day?"

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Meh. I spent the first half in a French Maid's outfit."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia's eyebrows went up. "Any particular reason for that?"

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Sex ed," Pip responded, lighting up his cigarette.

[nadiathesaint]

"Oh yeah. Walter had one, too. I wore it for him." There was no expression in her voice or face on that one. Just memory.

She suddenly kind of wanted to hit something.

"So when do you want to spar again?"

"Houdy."

The Doctor had wandered up to the roof, holding a small scanning device in one hand. He was totally ignoring Nadia's presence, for the time being, and more interested in the Viper.

"Alien technology on the roof? Fantastic."

[nadiathesaint]

"It doesn't work," Nadia said absently, turning to see who it was.

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

"Doesn't it?" The Doctor frowned a bit. "That's unfortunate. Though I suppose. . ." he turned around and smirked. "Nadia Santos. Back sooner than you thought." He narrowed his eyes. "Or perhaps not."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia blinked innocently at him. "Yes. I'm back."

The sudden studying gaze was rather a bit disconcerting.

"So I'll be in the workshop this week."

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

The Doctor quickly stopped his studying and smiled. "Glad to have you back. There's a lot I'd like to discuss with you, actually. That Rambaldi fellow. Very, very interesting, he is."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia tensed. "Not that interesting,"

Oh god, please tell her she wasn't taking a workshop with a Rambaldi follower.

Having seen possible rain clouds earlier, Fraser heads to the roof to get a closer look. Upon seeing a student and what looked to be a member of the faculty, he ignores the clouds and steps over to the faculty member.

"Excuse me, sir, teachers are not permitted in the dormitories above the first floor," he says politely.

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

"Oh, sorry," the Doctor said, waving his scanner. "Picked up an unusual reading, that's all. Not a social call or anything." He smiled. "Don't think we've had the pleasure of proper introductions. I'm the Doctor." He switched the scanner to his left hand and held out his right.

"Constable Benton Fraser, school security," he greets. "And it's understandable, sir. It's just one of the schools regulations that must be followed."

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

The Doctor raised an eyebrow, as it appeared the Constable was snubbing the offer of a handshake. "Regulations are all well and good," he said. "Never break a single one, me. I'll keep this in mind for the future."

Fraser does shake his hand because I totally misread the above comment, apologies! and smiles.

"No harm done. Thank you for understanding."
