FTEC, Thursday August 13

Simon sat down behind the desk at the clinic, doing his best to ignore the amused looks the nurses gave him. In a while, he would go to the bathroom and check if the mirror whether he really did look funny in some way today or whether they were just trying to make fun of him. Meanwhile, he had a medical journal to read.

[open and OCD-free clinic!]

After classes, Karla made her way down to the clinic. She'd never been there before, but she'd made a promise several weeks ago and was determined to carry it out.

Initially, she'd decided to go down and just check to see when Dr. Tam would be available. On the one hand, she was pleased to find him there--it saved her a second trip. On the other hand, she hadn't actually given much thought to what she was going to say, beyond

"Hello?"

Simon looked up. As she didn't seem to be badly injured or in severe pain, he decided not to feel bad about welcoming the interruption.

"Good afternoon," he said, smiling warmly. "What can I do for you?"
glacial_queen: (Looking directly at you)

"You're Dr. Tam, right?" Karla said, coming further inside. "I'm Karla, I had Etiquette with Miss Bennet last term. You assisted her with a class?"

Karla wanted to say it was about dancing, but she couldn't remember it all that well. That whole week was a bit hazy. Stupid flowers.

"I'm assuming you heard what happened when we were all asleep a few weeks ago?"

"Yes, I am," he said. "Hello, Karla. And I did. I tried to be of some help at the Town Hall."
glacial_queen: (Concerned)

"Which I appreciate by the way," Karla said, stalling for just a few more seconds of time. Simon could probably tell she was nervous by the way she kept twisting the hem of her shirt. "While I was there, I met some people who my other-self was friends with, though I have never met them. One of my--her--our--whatever friends was a girl named River. She gave me a forget-me-not and we danced on air together."

"River? She was there?" This immediately caught his interest. "She always loved to dance." The comment was accompanied by a wistful smile.
glacial_queen: (Understanding)

Karla nodded. "When I went over and told her that you were here and she wasn't, she asked me to pass along a message. She told me to tell you that she never would have left you if she didn't have to. And she wanted me to dance with you. On air." She ducked her head shyly.

"On air?" Simon looked confused. The other part of the message was a lot more difficult to handle, so he stuck with the easy part.

Karla stepped forwards a few paces and up, like she was climbing a staircase. By the time she had crossed the room, she was standing at waist-height. "We used to dance on air, above the roof," Karla explained. "In the sunlight. The vampires had taken so much from us, but they couldn't take away the simple joy of dancing in sunshine."

Karla held out her hand to Simon. "Will you dance on air with me? In the sunshine?" She glanced out the window at the weather. "The partial sunshine?" she amended. "I promised."


[I can make a new post 'outside the clinic' if you'd like?]

There was a young girl who seemed to want to dance with him. Simon blinked. "I'd..." The nurses all looked at him, seeming even more surprised than him. "Yes. Of course." He smiled at Karla. "When?"

[Good idea!]
glacial_queen: (Hesitant)

[personal profile] glacial_queen 2009-08-13 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Karla shrugged and gave him a sheepish smile. "I'm here now?" she suggested. "I won't keep you long, I promise."


[Post should be up soon, if that's cool?]

A young girl stops by the clinic and asks him to dance. Now. "Oh, it's not very busy here and dancing with you can't be worse than just passing time here. I mean..." Now he blushed. "...Dancing with you would be an honour."

Talking to girls wasn't his strong point. River would have rolled her eyes. Had she really just been trying to set him up?
glacial_queen: (Dimpling)

Karla just smiled. "I'm glad that the thought of dancing with me on air isn't that much worse," she teased gently. Then curtsied with surprise grace for someone who was wearing a casual dress. She'd had practice, after all.

"Outside then?"
