239/240 - Wednesday afternoon

[notcalledlizzie]

Despite having been raised in New England, Elizabeth didn't really like snow. It was fine for skiing, say, but she was quite happy staying inside in the warmth and watching the snow from her window.

One might accuse her of hiding, but she'd prefer to call it strategic concealment.

OOC: Erm, here?

Elizabeth giggled quietly.

"Your 'one small problem' happened to be a blown fuse on an Ancient bomb," snapped Lorne. "You nearly blew up half the city."

"It was uninhabited!" exclaimed Laura.

"Well, it's nice to see that some things never change," remarked Elizabeth dryly.

[janet_fraiser]

"Dr. Weir!" exclaimed Laura, grinning sheepishly. "The Ancients didn't really design their stuff to sit for quite this long, I think."

"Hello, Laura, Lorne," said Elizabeth, smiling at them. "I guess I don't need to ask if you're behaving yourselves then."

[janet_fraiser]

"As much as we ever do," said Laura, giving Elizabeth a thumbs-up. "We'll play nice when we have to."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Well, that's good to hear at least," said Elizabeth.

[janet_fraiser]

"You know how we operate, ma'am," said Lorne, grinning at her. "You ever doubt it?"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Not at all," said Elizabeth, smirking slightly.

[janet_fraiser]

"Yeah, yeah," said Lorne. "So we can't send you a cake from here, which is a shame, because the botanists think we've got a line on something kinda like chocolate."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Apparently I have cake, but thank you anyway," said Elizabeth.

Laura nudged Lorne with her hip. "So wish the woman a happy birthday already," she hissed.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Lorne swatted at her. "I was just getting to that point," he exclaimed.

[janet_fraiser]

Laura snickered. "Then do it," she said. "Y'know, Dr. Weir, how do you deal with these guys all day every day?"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"You know, you'd be better off asking the other me that," said Elizabeth mildly. "I just have to deal with teenagers now, although sometimes I can't see the difference."

[janet_fraiser]

"Right," said Laura. "Never mind, then."

"Look who's being tactless now," muttered Lorne.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Laura just elbowed him -- hard.

[janet_fraiser]

"Yes, yes, you're both adorably childish," said Rodney. "Don't you have mission reports to write or something?"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Done it," said Laura, smirking.

[janet_fraiser]

"Unlike some astrophysicists I could name," said Lorne, one hand over his side. "Jeez, Cadman, you want a file to sharpen that elbow with?"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Baby," said Laura.

[janet_fraiser]

"All right," said Radek. "I am sure Elizabeth does not want to hear the two of you bickering like children on her birthday."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Thank you, Radek," said Elizabeth quietly.

[janet_fraiser]

Radek smiled apologetically at her. "I am only sorry we cannot do more than we have. But perhaps we could talk more often?"

"Yes, yes, I--" stared Rodney. Radek glared at him. "All right, Radek and I have been working on some, ah, protocols for irregular dial-ins to Earth."
