[Sits at her desk on the plane, wearing reading glasses, eating pie, and filling in paperwork. Sulking a teensy bit.]

Mum saved the world. I can't believe it. Actually, I can't believe Tony helped. My mum and a toddler did my job for me, because I was too busy being unconscious after eating a poisoned sandwich.

...that's just embarrassing.

They'd just think it was a made-up story.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Good point. I might let him talk, then, next time he's in nursery school.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

They'll think he's the most imaginative in the class.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

They already do, especially when he talks about his sister coming from another world and traveling in a police box.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Ah. You told him about that, did you?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Yeah, 'course I did.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Must've been exciting bedtime stories.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Sometimes they were.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Surprised he remembers them so well, considering his age.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

He hears the a lot. And asks loads of questions.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Sounds a bit like you.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Well, he is my brother.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Bit of an age gap, though.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

I hadn't noticed.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Mm. Suppose you wouldn't.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

How d'you mean?

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Must be accustomed to age gaps, yeah?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Maybe a bit? I dunno.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

[Have a shrug -- also he's snatching another cracker.]

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[He may have accidentally started something :\]

....right.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

[She started it. XO]

Hm?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Did not!]

'Hm' what?

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

What? Nothing. "Hm" nothing.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

You don't "Hm" unless there's something.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Maybe I "hm" if there's nothing, now.
