Would you mind meeting me by the lake when you get the chance?

[For once, she actually sounds tired, though it's obvious she's trying to hide it behind her usual perky self.]

I can come right now. *He's a little tired from the rebuilding, but doesn't sound nearly as tired as he should.*

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Right, I'll be here.

[Well, she does. Actually she sounds completely exhausted, and he'll no doubt find her sleeping when he gets there, her back propped up against a tree trunk.]

Action FTW.

*That surprises him and he kneels down next to her.* Jenny?

[She opens her eyes when she hears him, and gives him a smile, though she still looks half asleep.]

Happy Birthday.

Action

*He smiles, though still seems kinda worried.* Thanks. You alright, though? Never seen you this tired before.

[She attempts to force herself to wake up more by stretching a little.]

Yeah, I'm alright. Just been awhile since I've managed to get some sleep. It's been a busy week, you know.

What've you been up to? *Not voicing the 'and why didn't you ask for my help if it was too much'*

Action

Besides the usual and working on the house? This.

[She holds a medium sized box out to him. Inside, he'll find a wooden dragon, obviously handmade down to the very last detail. Actually, that dragon looks an awful lot like he did during the one experiment. Even the scales and wings seem to be exact. Not a single detail missing.]

Action

*He takes the figure out of the box and stares at it.* Wow...this is amazing!

Action

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

You like it then?

Action

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

Of course! It's just...wow!

Action

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you like it. I've been working on it all week.

Action

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

You look exhausted, though. *Sitting down next to her now.* Maybe you oughta get some rest. I'll keep working on the house myself.

Action

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

No, I couldn't do that. Not until the house is finished up.

[Sorry Ru, but she's going to be just a bit stubborn.]

Action

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

*He shakes his head. He can be just as stubborn, especially when he's being protective.* I don't want you collapsing from exhaustion, especially while we're working. Don't worry about it, I can manage on my own until you've rested up.

Action

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

I'm tired, yes, but I'm not going to go collapsing from exhaustion. I'll be fine.

[Stubborn Jenny is stubborn]

Action

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

Even if you don't, it'll still be harder for you to keep working if you have to fight to stay awake. *Stubborn Jr is just as stubborn.*

Action

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

I won't be fighting to stay awake just as long as I'm doing something to keep busy.

Action

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

And then you wind up making yourself sick because you haven't been sleeping.

Action

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

I don't get sick that easily and you know it. It's another thing that seems to run in the family.

Action

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

But lack of sleep is bad for the immune system and hard on the mind.

Action

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Not mine, and my mind is hardly affected.

Action

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

But it still is. Just rest, alright? I can handle it myself. Besides, you fixed things up after I got kidnapped and made a mess of the living room.

Action

[She's silent for a moment before sighing with a pout. Don't get her wrong, she could continue this argument if she wanted to, but for once, she figured she'd just give up.]

Oh, alright. But only for a bit.
