[ There's a good while of silence, aside from the rustle of a paper, like a page being turned. ]

Oh, yes, right! Hello! How do I do one of these voicemails things again?

[ Another bit of silence, and then he clears his throat. ]

You've reached the Doctor - the eleventh, to be exact. Leave a message and I'll get back to you, promise!

They should be.

[action]

[hollowchild]

That's good. Were you working on a project?

[sophie doesn't look like she's been sleeping much, but her shoulders are gradually untensing as she idly stirs her tea]

[action]

[comeonthensexy]

Not so much. Something more nonsensical. Ever so fun, though.

[action]

[hollowchild]

Oh? What's that?

[action]

[comeonthensexy]

I'm building a track for marbles.

[action]

[hollowchild]

Marbles? The fancy sort with the drops and spins and such?

[action]

[comeonthensexy]

Exactly. But I daresay even more fancy.

[action]

[hollowchild]

Really? How?

[action]

[comeonthensexy]

Because it's better. Obviously. It is made by me.

[action]

[hollowchild]

That is sufficient to recommend it.

[action]

[comeonthensexy]

I thought as much.

[action]

[hollowchild]

[ego, doctor. but she laughs]

Is it finished enough to see?

[action]

[comeonthensexy]

I think you'll have to wait.

[ He reaches across the table to prod her nose. ]

[action]

[hollowchild]

[she startles back a little, then covers it with a wrinkle of her nose and a smile]

What was that for?

[action]

[comeonthensexy]

Nothing. I felt like it.

[action]

[hollowchild]

[retaliating in kind is an excellent way to cover up her confusion, right?]

[action]

[comeonthensexy]

[ A very excellent way. He seems pretty happy about it, in fact. ]

There you are. What other reason do you need than just because?

[action]

[hollowchild]

For things like that, I suppose you don't.

[action]

[comeonthensexy]

Good girl.

[action]

[hollowchild]

[she shakes her head a bit, but she's smiling into her teacup]

[action]

[comeonthensexy]

[ Oh, yes, tea drinking. Doing that. ]

[action]

[hollowchild]

[sophie's cold, which is what happens when it's winter and one doesn't sleep or eat enough, so the tea helps. she's watching him over the rim of the cup, though]

What's that look for?

[action]

[comeonthensexy]

[ Tea always helps. ]

What look?

[action]

[hollowchild]

[she makes his expression back at him, because that is the most eloquent answer]

[action]

[comeonthensexy]

Oh. Nothing. Should it be for something?
