Because ahaha why the heck not.

{Suddenly, Clive! This is essentially what has just happened, as one second he was being led away from the wreckage of his machine by Inspector Chelmly, and now he's in a rather fancy looking lobby. What the heck.

He takes a few cautious steps, weary of his pounding head, and looks about.}

... Hello? Is there anyone here?

Yes... I just wondered if there might be differences between you, since there seem to be differences with some of the people this place brings...

[crazyclever.livejournal.com]

At this point, I think our only differences my be that we're from different points in time.

[icefreckled.livejournal.com]

Mmm...

[Thoughtful...]

I'll have to come up with some way of differentiating you two more easily.

[crazyclever.livejournal.com]

Yes, I suppose you will. {He laughs slightly. It's kind of a sad sound, though.}

[icefreckled.livejournal.com]

[...come on, what did I tell you about angst?]

What's the matter?

[crazyclever.livejournal.com]

It's just...
It's been a very long time since I've seen you...

[icefreckled.livejournal.com]

Well... think of it this way; now you can see me whenever you want.

We can make up for the time that was lost.

[crazyclever.livejournal.com]

{Smiles.}
That's true.


...I've miss you... Mum...

[icefreckled.livejournal.com]

[She puts her tea down carefully and moves to pull him into a very awkward hug.]

I'm glad that I'm... able to see you like this.

[crazyclever.livejournal.com]

{He akwardly hugs her back, slowly.}

...Me too.

[icefreckled.livejournal.com]

[She pulls back a little to look at him.]

I'm glad you didn't get my freckles, too.

[Maria you are awful at jokes get in the corner.]

[crazyclever.livejournal.com]

{He laughs slightly. He missed your awful jokes.}

[icefreckled.livejournal.com]

[She laughs herself, and prods his nose.]

I mean it, you look like you could use some sun. At least without the freckles you can get away with getting sun.

[crazyclever.livejournal.com]

Am I really that pale? {He didn't think he was...}

[icefreckled.livejournal.com]

...well, I can't exactly talk in that regard, I guess.

Still, getting sun will help you feel better.

[And you definitely need that. }:|]

[crazyclever.livejournal.com]

I suppose. I thought we couldn't leave, though?

[icefreckled.livejournal.com]

You can get up onto the roof, though!

...well, so long as you don't mind either a lot of stairs or a very long trip in the lift.

[crazyclever.livejournal.com]

...Perhaps later then.

[icefreckled.livejournal.com]

[She laughs again.]

Well... is there anything you'd like to do?

[crazyclever.livejournal.com]

I...
I don't know.

[icefreckled.livejournal.com]

...given what you said was the last thing that happened before you arrived, what about sleeping?

[crazyclever.livejournal.com]

That would be nice...
But... I bumped my head, you see... I don't know if it would be a very good idea to sleep right now.

[icefreckled.livejournal.com]

[...sigh.]

Would you like me to stay with you while you sleep? I can keep an eye on you for any signs of concussion.

[crazyclever.livejournal.com]

...Yes. Yes, that would be very nice. {He's very quiet.}

[icefreckled.livejournal.com]

Well... would you like to sleep here, or do you have rooms of your own?
