I said no such thing, Benny. As a matter of fact, you're rather like a....

How shall I put this...

Free agent? Free agent, yes.

And just look at this lovely pendant I've got you.

Back to the ‘I collected you’
mindset? My . . . it really
must be my birthday 😒

[braxiatel. @BraxiateI]

Hmmm. Perhaps, but relics are far more my forté.

[ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ 𝑷𝐔𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐓𝓜𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑 ⟢ @prickishpuppet]

Must you?
‘Happy Birthday’ would suffice, thanks.

[braxiatel. @BraxiateI]

You're positively ancient, Professor Summerfield.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎊🎉🎈🎁🎂

[braxiatel. @BraxiateI]

@cantuscrystals Very well. No tisane for you, then.

He who knows he is right can afford to be silent.

[braxiatel. @BraxiateI]

"Are you sure that ( you ) don't need to use this pipe, professor Summerfield?" Brax looked at her with a touch of bemusement, as always, offering it to her.

"It's terribly important. The relative stability of at least two or three galaxies relies upon finding a goldfish."

[ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ 𝑷𝐔𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐓𝓜𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑 ⟢ @prickishpuppet]

⠀⠀ “An artifact, you dolt! Something that has anything to do with my job, with my profession!” she snarled before, too, composing herself with a deep inhale.

⠀⠀ “I’m not helping you find some stupid goldfish.”

[braxiatel. @BraxiateI]

@cantuscrystals They're better than those socks. I don't actually think that you have a leg to stand on, as it were.

[braxiatel. @BraxiateI]

Not everything that I say and do is about some grand master plan. Sometimes I simply enjoy things.

[braxiatel. @BraxiateI]

@cantuscrystals This lovely tisanesmade. I made it myself.

[braxiatel. @BraxiateI]

@UniverseJumping "And just where are we going?" Brax follows her all the same.

[braxiatel. @BraxiateI]

He made a uniquely alien noise, like the reverse of a hoover through a grate, but he said nothing of it.

The Time Lord attempted to compose himself, shuffling on his seat. "Oh, but Benny, I've already told you," Braxiatel said. "I'm looking for a goldfish."

⠀⠀ “Has anyone ever told you how painfully unfunny you can be?” she quipped back as she rose from her chair reluctantly, tossing him the little steel case. A momentary smile crossed her features when she watched the ornate case hit him smack dab in the middle of his chest.

@cantuscrystals no. not that one.

oh, come along. guess, at least !

[braxiatel. @BraxiateI]

@UniverseJumping he hesitates. " i ... was, of sorts. yes. but it was some time ago now, and i really haven't seen her in ... well, a few years, shall we say ? it didn't particularly end well for either of us. "

[braxiatel. @BraxiateI]

@cantuscrystals disputed.

oh, everyone's a critic. i suppose you know mine, don't you ? ( don't you ) ? i ( have ) mentioned it to you before. a few times, in fact. and you ( always ) listen to what i say.

[braxiatel. @BraxiateI]

@UniverseJumping " i suppose we have time. " he smiles.

" it's not as if i shall be receiving anything today. why don't i live vicariously through you ? "

[braxiatel. @BraxiateI]

@cantuscrystals well, ms. summerfield. if they find themselves in my direction, i'll know precisely who to blame ( and ) who i shall be removing from the christmas cards list.

do you know, i don't think i've ever asked. what is your ( favourite ) gift that you've ever received ?

[braxiatel. @BraxiateI]

@UniverseJumping " father's day ? fascinating. our father would have been terribly difficult to buy for. i remember one feast oof omega he threw the chess set we'd carved him into the fire. what have you got for the doctor, then ? "

[braxiatel. @BraxiateI]

" are you bored, benny ? is that why you're here ? you could at least be helpful and fetch me my tobacco case. i don't particularly fancy getting up. " he frowned, shaking his pipe a little.

" i could find you something useful to do, if you'd like. spring cleaning, perhaps. "

Eyes cut daggers in the other’s direction, still not entirely amused as she snatched the paper back.

Lounging in the chair, she scanned the print with keen eyes.

⠀⠀ “Another lengthy article about—— Boring.”

The newspaper was then tossed back onto his desk with little care.

[braxiatel. @BraxiateI]

@UniverseJumping " ah, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't stick to your morals all the same. do what he'd do, unless the alternative is far more enticing. " as if he doesn't do precisely the opposite every day. being a family is about telling loving lies all day. " oh ? and where is he ? "

[braxiatel. @BraxiateI]

" yes. i'm looking for a goldfish. " silence. " goodness. professor rubeish, dead at 463. i hadn't realised that he'd been retired so long. "

but he made his point and had his fun. slowly, making a point of it, he closed his paper, resting it on the armchair for her to pick up.

[ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ 𝑷𝐔𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐓𝓜𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑 ⟢ @prickishpuppet]

⠀⠀ “Your article?” the woman asked, letting out a sharp ‘hey!’ when he snatched it back. A newfound glare took hold of her dark eyes.

⠀⠀ “There’s one on me, I’d like to actually read it, not skim, thanks.”

[braxiatel. @BraxiateI]

@cantuscrystals on the contrary, benny. i think these socks have a certain ... je-ne-se-quois that only such an experienced and confident traveller such as yourself could pull off. what was the term, a ... girlboss, even ?
