*lays a pistol on the washstand, undresses and puts her clothes into the tub*
*opens the medicine cabinet and takes several swallows of laundanum, and washes the blood from her face, hands and hair*
*examines a round scar on her temple in the mirror, staring at it as it vanishes*
*carefully lowers herself to the floor and sits, naked, holding her head in her hands*

Lynda... darling... darling, I...
... there's someone here to see you.

Date: 2006-12-10 06:40 am (UTC)*laughs* I suppose I should get dressed, then, shouldn't I?

Date: 2006-12-10 01:47 pm (UTC)My lucky day, another ex...
...Oh, I should think necessarily. I know you've seen it all before, but poor Arthur is getting very pale.
*gets woozily to her feet and puts on her dressing gown*
Well, Jack Harkness. To what do I owe the pleasure?

Date: 2006-12-10 09:56 pm (UTC)To Arthur. He's been worried about you. *claps a hand on Arthur's shoulder* You see? She's fine.

Date: 2006-12-11 03:01 am (UTC)Does it.
*looks at the pistol, caught*
...and I suppose you know this from the Doctor?
no subject
Date: 2006-12-11 03:05 am (UTC)I... I should be on my way.
I contacted Captain Harkness and asked him to visit us. He understands so much more about everything - about you.
*squares his shoulders* I have given Mary the evening and tomorrow off, and I will be staying at a hotel in the city. There will be no questions asked.
no subject
Date: 2006-12-11 03:12 am (UTC)Arthur, don't be absurd! You can't want me to - After how much I've tried -
*firmly* I'll talk with him, but that's all I intend to do.

Date: 2006-12-11 03:14 am (UTC)*kisses you gingerly*

Date: 2006-12-11 03:24 am (UTC)*kisses you*
*heartfelt* I love you.

Date: 2006-12-11 03:27 am (UTC)*presses his forehead against yours*
I'll see you tomorrow, for lunch.
no subject
Date: 2006-12-11 03:40 am (UTC)I'll see you tomorrow, my darling.
no subject
Date: 2006-12-11 04:26 am (UTC)What else did you tell him?
no subject
Date: 2006-12-11 05:50 am (UTC)We've got all night. Why don't I fix us some dinner and we'll talk properly? You can slip into something less comfortable while I'm in the kitchen.
no subject
Date: 2006-12-11 05:58 am (UTC)But only because I'm wildly curious about what you could have said to my husband to convince him that you could fuck me back to health.
no subject
Date: 2006-12-11 06:04 am (UTC)*looks at his watch* I'll see you in the kitchen in, say, half an hour?
no subject
Date: 2006-12-11 06:08 am (UTC)Then again, he does get some strange ideas in his head. And knowing you, I suppose he thought it was inevitable I'd succumb.
Half an hour, fine. See you there.
*rubs her forehead*
