Hi, this is Elizabeth. I'm unable to answer my phone at the moment, but if you want to leave a message after the tone, I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

See, I don't use my bedside manner on you. Ah. That explains it, then. My nose is stuck in one of my textbooks a lot. Are the crosswords fun? Slippery would be fun. I mean, unsafe. Would we have to get in the shower together?

Nine months is a really short amount of time. Wow. But I know you really well for only having known you nine months. Which is kind of a shame, because I like when you blush. Why are you going to wait?

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Well, that's good because I don't want you beside the bed. I know it is, dear. They're not too bad, most of the time. Although sometimes they'll slip and spell a name wrong or something. Oh, yes. I don't know about you, but I'm always appreciative of an extra hand or two in the shower

I guess a lot of it is to do with the fact we're living together. It's not like we just see each other for work, or go out to coffee a couple of times a week. I'm trying not to blush again here. And if I wait, I get to ask you in person. With kisses.

[janet_fraiser]

I'd really rather not be there either. Are you doing those shoulder exercises I *handwavily* gave you? I like studying, especially if it's one of my own projects. And that explains the bouts of swearing in Russian at the paper, doesn't it? Yes. Hands. Which I'd use to lather up every inch of you.

That's only part of it. It's also that I've wanted to get to know you very well. Oh, I think you should blush. Mmm. Kisses.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

*sighs* Yes, dear. Every morning and night, just like I promised. There's nothing wrong with studying. And, um, yes. See, you noticed that! I'm sure I'll be returning the favor.

Well, I think we can safely say that was achieved and we know each other very well indeed. Yeah, I am. Lots of kisses

[janet_fraiser]

Would you bother if you didn't know I'd be asking about it? And I should know by now that I don't have to defend studying to you, shouldn't I? *giggle* It's very loud. And very not English. I hope so. I'll also be kissing you when I'm lathering you up.

I'd have to agree. You're very pretty when you blush. Maybe more than kisses?

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Uh, yes? And no, absolutely no need to defend studying to me. I don't like swearing in English. Mmmm. We'd also have to be very close together because showers aren't meant for two really. But I'm sure we'll manage.

I think I'd be worried if you didn't there! *laughs* Okay, I'm blushing again. I think we could stretch to more than kisses. We won't have seen each other in nearly a week by the time you get back.

[janet_fraiser]

You don't sound very certain. I don't need to, because you're as bad as I am, which is nice. Why not? I think we'll manage very well. And that's about all I can think about right now.

Me too! Good. You think you could put forth the effort after nearly a week? I'm reassured.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

I am. Mostly. Okay, I'd probably do them if you weren't asking. But as you are going to be asking, then I'll definitely be doing them, so it's a moot point. It is. Because the whole studying for fun thing is difficult to explain to those who don't get it. Because then other people understand me. Also? Russian can be very expressive. Yeah, me too. Why do you have to be so far away right now?

Oh, I think the effort that will be put into it will be more than equal to it.

[janet_fraiser]

That would be why I'm asking. If there's a trick in the book to get out of something, hon, I've seen it. What's wrong with other people understanding you if you swear? Because I wanted to go to the Carribean?

I can hardly wait.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm not getting out of it. I'd do them now, except I'm lying in bed and it's a bit difficult to do like that. Because it might be at a time when I need to be watching my language. Or because I might actually be insulting someone around me and not wanting them to even risk overhearing. Not that I do that. *coughs* Really. I guess I can forgive you for that.

Me neither. Friday.

[janet_fraiser]

Of course you're not getting out if it. Why would you think you could? What if someone speaks Russian and you don't know it, though? What would you do then? Um. Yeah.We had that talk already.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

I never thought I'd be able to get out of it. Really. Then I'd be screwed and hope I hadn't been insulting them? I know and we're not having it again, 'specially over a phone. I love you.

[janet_fraiser]

Of course you thought you could get out of it. No one listens to their doctors. You might be in a little bit of trouble then, yes. For a minute there I thought we were. I love you too.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

I listen to you. I really do. Thankfully it's never happened. Hopefully it never will. Russian's not the most common language people learn. No, just that I couldn't blame you for wanting to see the Caribbean.

[janet_fraiser]

I know you listen, but I also know that you'd try to get out of doing physical therapy if you could. It's hard to blame me for that, thankfully.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Well, doesn't everyone? I don't blame you for anything, honey. Now, let's change the subject, okay?

[janet_fraiser]

No, most people are sensible about it. I'm good with that. What do you want to change the subject to?

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

They are? I was quite fond of the you naked subject we had going.

[janet_fraiser]

Oh, yes. It's just my luck I get stuck with people who aren't. This didn't happen before Colorado. Really? Because I was fond of the you naked subject.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

If it's any consolation, I did it before Colorado. Well, both of us being naked works pretty well normally.

[janet_fraiser]

Of course you did. No, some day, I'm going to have a dream patient who does everything I tell them without me having to threaten them. I'd say it works far better than just pretty well, wouldn't you?

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

And then you'll wake up? Well, yes. Very well indeed. So well that I'm lacking appropriate adjectives?

[janet_fraiser]

Probably. But Colorado folks are worse than most. I'm too distracted to have a big vocabulary right now. I'm stuck on naked, soapy, and close together.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

I'll do whatever you want without being threatened. Because I respond well to you without being threatened. Mmm, yes. Me too. I think I'm going to be dragging you into the shower when you get back.

[janet_fraiser]

You've heard horror stories, haven't you? I don't think you're going to have to do much dragging. Will you try on your bikini for me first?
