[Lucy's back in her bedroom on the Plane again, this time putting the last touches on a journal entry (don't worry, it's nothing incriminating maybe). she's been having a good time of it lately and could use a nice, quiet, happy day of social interaction before the shit hits the fan. she's also got a small bag of jelly babies sitting next to her that she pops in her mouth from time to time whilst writing. steal some at your own risk]

It's much more engaging than listening to your every word like it's made of gold.

And whatever you choose to prattle on about is so engaging?

Apparently, according to your other self and my husband.

I'm still not discounting the entire eyelash-fluttering effect.

[and she giggles, because whatever you just said struck her as particularly funny]

[and he's caught off guard by that reaction, but after a couple seconds he laughs, a little confused]

[quiets after a moment, but keeps smiling at him] You aren't completely worthless, Doctor. Perhaps we might be able to get along, after all.

[gives her a look, but is still smiling] Not completely worthless? Coming from you, I think that's a compliment.

I'm capable of them on occasion, even for you.

Careful with that or it'll all start going to my head.

At least in that regard you're the same as the other two. Egotistical to the end.

And you're miss modesty, I'm sure.

Mmm, only when the situation calls for it.

Does it call for it often?

Often enough, it would seem.

It sounds tedious.

Why do you say that?

I don't know, having to pretend you're less than what you are for other people's benefit, it sounds tedious.

[shrugs]

Or maybe that's just me.

[shakes her head] There's a certain finesse in being someone else, Doctor, in making the world see you in a specific way. It can be quite the thrilling game if you know how to play.

I suppose I don't know how to play it then, because it all seems like a waste of time and energy to me.

Your other half says much the same thing.

[laughs] Well, maybe I'm being too quick to rush to judgment, then.

That eager to be different from him, are you?

A few differences wouldn't hurt. He really has left plenty of room for improvement.

And how might he be improved, so you think?
