Friday afternoon - Around and about

[notcalledlizzie]

Elizabeth might have already been for a short walk this morning. But this walk was for the purpose of seeing what she could photograph for her workshop and Janet was coming with.

So, after the fun at the beach workshop, she headed back to the cabin to pick up her camera once more.

"Absolutely," said Janet. "But we could, um, use the exercise?"

"I don't think we need to worry about the amount of exercise we're going to be getting today," Elizabeth said, grinning slightly.

Re: Lunch @ Luke's.

[janet_fraiser]

"No, we really don't." Janet shook her head. "Lots of exercise. Lots of really fun exercise." She paused. "The dorms seem a lot farther from town than usual right now."

"This is currently frustrating exercise," Elizabeth declared. "Ooh, I see the gates I think."

Re: Lunch @ Luke's.

[janet_fraiser]

"Not as frustrating as all that, I hope," said Janet. "We have a goal in mind, after all." She started walking a little more quickly.

"Oh, I know," Elizabeth said, matching her pace with Janet's. "I'm blaming the cabins for all this."

"I think the school administration lives to frustrate us," said Janet, slipping through the gates and holding them open for Liz. "Don't you?"

Re: Lunch @ Luke's.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Oh absolutely. But they're not fussy about who we room with, which is less frustrating. Imagine if we had roommates to deal with all the time!"

Re: Lunch @ Luke's.

[janet_fraiser]

"Imagine if we had roommates we didn't like to deal with," added Janet. "But they're amazingly lax on the rooming issues, which I like. Sometimes I wonder how I'm going to deal with military regulatioins after this place."

Re: Lunch @ Luke's.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth glanced at her. "Are you sure you're going to have to deal with them?"

Re: Lunch @ Luke's.

[janet_fraiser]

Janet shrugged. "I don't know any more," she said. "But the option is there, and it was a big part of my life for a very long time. But--I don't know if I want to go that route again."

Re: Lunch @ Luke's.

Elizabeth smiled, squeezing her hand slightly. "It's not something you have to worry about yet, so don't think of it for now."

Re: Lunch @ Luke's.

[janet_fraiser]

Janet's grip on Liz's hand tightened. "I know. I've got plenty of time to think about it. And let's face it, there are a lot of factors to consider." She looked sidelong at Liz.

Re: Lunch @ Luke's.

"Just promise me that you won't decide not to do something because of me," Elizabeth said softly.

Re: Lunch @ Luke's.

[janet_fraiser]

Janet glanced over again. "If I decide to do or not to do something, you'll be a consideration," she said, talking in a slow, considering tone. "But that's how it should be, because you're important to me."

Re: Lunch @ Luke's.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth nodded. "Okay, I can accept that. Because it's pretty much the same for me, so there we have it."

Re: Lunch @ Luke's.

[janet_fraiser]

"Okay, good," said Janet. She smiled shyly. "I like knowing that I'm a consideration. In your decisions, I mean."

Re: Lunch @ Luke's.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth smiled. "'Course you are. I consider you a lot, y'know."

Re: Lunch @ Luke's.

[janet_fraiser]

"I know." She moved closer and hesitantly wrapped her arm around Liz's waist. "That's nice too. And you know I consider you in the decisions I make, right?"

Re: Lunch @ Luke's.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth nodded, her arm slipping around Janet's shoulders and pulling her close. "I know," she said.

Re: Lunch @ Luke's.

[janet_fraiser]

"Why aren't we there yet?" asked Janet, pouting, as they got nearer to the building.

Re: Lunch @ Luke's.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Because of stupidly extensive school grounds," Elizabeth grumped, trying not to look at the pout.

Re: Lunch @ Luke's.

[janet_fraiser]

"What were they thinking?" asked Janet. "They were doing it just to foil us, weren't they?"

Re: Lunch @ Luke's.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Oh, absolutely," Elizabeth agreed as they reached the front entrance. "I'm so very glad we're only on the second floor."

Re: Lunch @ Luke's.

[janet_fraiser]

"Otherwise we might do shocking things in the stairwells, and we can't have that," said Janet, giggling. "Or at least, we can't have that because we're likely to be interrupted."
