YOU SHOT ME IN THE BUTT!!!!

No waffles for you,

Ps - You didn't let him take pictures, did you? Yes, I read that. You actually didn't let him, right? Right?!?

Morning Cain,

That's… a really good point. He's been seeing Samson regularly still but Tai Chi can't hurt in the least and I'm looking into local classes anyway this week. Thanks for the head's up, Cain. A lot.

And didn't I tell you he was good at poker? Oops. Must have slipped my mind. I've already been presented with the loot and it's a good thing I like pretzels. (Remember when I told you not to bet jujubes? Heh.)

Thank you for taking care of Miles along with the others - I hope no one let him get on a sugar high?

There are things I need to take care of today, but how about tomorrow? Been ages since I've been down to the barn and a ride sounds like a wonderful idea. We can talk about what happened with Paige then, too...

Subject: You're back!

Shopping! Trip!

Haroun has managed to talk himself into a full on shopping experience, and of course there's no way that can be done properly without you along. May I suggest you bring Alex along (more pack animals, glee!) and we give them the grand tour of All Thing That Can Be Bought? While terrorizing everyone around us, of course.

Welcome back, roomie. I missed you.
Alison

Ps - That's if I survive today. More on that later.

I'd like to talk to you both about something that's been trotting in my mind for a while. Let me know when is good?

Alison

Ps - Thank you for helping take care of Miles yesterday. I appreciate it very much.

I was trying not to drink a stimulant and keep myself from staying awake another week!!! I thought you'd be pleased with that. But noo! You SHOT me!

Hrm. I know what you need. Girl's night out. Moira and I used to do those - hit a coffee place in the city and talk until closing time. *g* Some are 24/7, did you know that? Hey, I miss big, blue and fuzzy too. He's the reason I came here, did you know that? Knew him before I ever even heard of this place...

Hrm. Not bad. You need a bit more woe in there I think though.

Well. Maybe a bit. I could go down to the kitchen and make maybe one, I suppose... *put upon sigh*

Alison

ps - Uh huh. I saw the post. There was enabling. Much enabling.

Subject: *expires in your doorway for you to trip over*

Stupid time to change your bloody habits, woman. I tell you.

You'll never let me live this down, will you? You'll have "She SHOT me! In the ASS!" engraved on my tombstone, won't you?

Oh God, yes. Sounds wonderful. We're on night shift number four and counting...

And no, I didn't know that. Where'd you come across Hank during your fabulous rock star career? He's not exactly the sort to run in the same circles as you, I would have thought. Do tell the whole story - there may be blackmail material. *grins*

Working on the woe. I'm out of practice.

With extra banana? *looks even more hopeful. And cute. Don't forget the cute*

Maddie.

PS: I refuse to answer that on the grounds I may incriminate myself.

How was I supposed to know you were going to shoot me in the butt!!!



Soon. If Moira can't make it I'll get you out at least, and then we can both go back to rescue her. You know - did you consider liberating some of the kids from classes to help during the day? Those that have been helping around in the medlab anyway? It'd give you some more snooze time, for one thing. And a few days of missing class won't hurt them.

It was at some fancy evening thing after a concert. Hrm. I may tell you more about it later, too much to this for it to be email material - or you can ask him when he gets back if you want. But it's been three and something years now. :)

Practice makes perfect, you know that. More woe, now.

Hrm. May even add in chocolate chips. The cute is pretty good.

Alison

ps - uh huh. I'll just have to jump to conclusions then. Ayup.

How was I supposed to know I was going to have to?!

Tattoos. Ouch. And Ick. Can't we just go with the tombstone idea?

And yes, the kids haev been helping, as much as they're able to, any way. It's not exactly been easy on any of the three of them - Clarice has been pretty vocal about what she thinks of the whole demon thing, and Rahne... well, she hasn't said anything, because she's far too polite to, but she's been a bit on the skittish side since that weekend. And as for Amanda... Thank God Pete decided to get her out of here for a few days. She was looking at being tranq gun candidate number two, and her butt's skinnier than yours. I've been napping during the day whilst Cece covers my classes, but you know what this place is like - it's impossible to get any eral sleep when there's the pitter-patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots just downstairs...

Once Hank gets back, I think I'll be taking a short vacation. Go home, see the folks, talk to Carlie about visiting. _Sleep_. And let Mom feed me as much as she likes and listen to Dad talk about retiring, again. He's been talking about it for the past five years. But yes, vacation _good_.

Wanna have that chat over coffee? Coffee not made by either of us, so it's trustworthy? I can practice my woe face on you then.

Hey! You had the dart gun! You planned!

You're a doctor and you don't like needles? *g* Mm. Big slabs of stone are so passé.

...you know, from the typos you're making, I think you need a break soon. Miss Tranq Gun candidate #3 now that Amanda is gone. And hey, I can just claim you shot me first. I think Nathan talks to Rahne a fair bit. Want me to slip him a word about it, he can check in on her?

Vacations are good. Very good. Last time I went was in Mexico. Came back with a little green man, too. :)

Indeed I do. Tis a deal. And you can practice the woe face all you want. We'll get you up to date there in no time.
