Constellation 08

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[There are several piles of snow on the Plane today. There's enough of it to cover a small section of the 'floor' in it, as well as scatterings here and there. Arthur is sitting in the middle of it, dressed appropriately for the cold, at least, with a heavy winter jacket and large snow boots. His cheeks are a bright red, though whether this is because of the cold or the scotch currently being filtered by his body is anyone's guess.

There are tuffs of snow on his hair and clothes, but these are ignored in favor of the drawing in the snow he seems to be working on at the moment. Equations, to be exact] 
[Experiment start, as well~]

Never~ There are few people here that bore me.

{She leans a bit closer}

I mean, the people here are so nice, you know?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[Arthur seems oblivious to the loss of personal space; he's still mostly focused on his work] They are. I've met some very nice people here, like the Doctor.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Is there anyone else?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

The Master, most of the time. And you, Diva. You're very pleasant to talk to.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

{She smiles}

Thank you, then. That's very sweet. Ah, but which Master do you mean? The younger looking one or the older one?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

I only know one. The one with the Doctor.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Hmm...I guess that's the younger one, then. The older one wouldn't be any good at all. At least the younger one is very polite and pleasant.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

I didn't even know there was another Master, really.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

You're better off not knowing.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

I suppose I'll take your word for it, then.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

As you should.

Ne, but if Arthur is shy, do you have many friends at home?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Oh, not really. Mostly colleagues.

Charles is a good friend, though.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

What is Charles like?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[smiles] He's very kind. He also enjoys mathematics, like me. But he gets nervous, easily, so he has trouble with lectures and such.

He's the person I was just out drinking with.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

{Warmly} How cute, then! It's hard for me to imagine two intelligent men just going out drinking. I guess I just imagine you and this Charles in an ordinary pub, rather than a...Well, I guess a more distinguished place.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[smiles] It's nowhere very distinguished, I promise you. Not when it's just the two of us.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

It must be very fun, though.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

It is. I always look forward to it. To just spending time with him, really.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

How often do you spend time together?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Not as often as I'd like. Work tends to keep us both busy.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Well, you should meet anyways. Friendship is more important than work.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[smiles] It's not too bad. We meet often enough, and keep in touch.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Well, if you're sure~

You didn't mention any lady in your life, though. You enjoy the bachelor's life, I guess?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Well, I have my sister.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

incest Oh, that hardly counts!
