“What’s new…? Well, Diona wants to be a drummer now. Not because of me but because of Meg White. Milo took it upon himself to change Sabine’s diaper the other day and he did pretty well for a three-year-old, and I’m addicted to cookies and cream ice cream now.” Calliope inhaled deeply, aware of how depressing she sounded. “Anyway, how are you?”

“Can’t blame her, everyone wants to play ‘em. They’re just real cool.” Maybe he should take up the drums, was it too late? Maybe Diona wanted to teach him. Once she learned. “None of that sounds as sad as the tone in your voice, Call” he shrugged. “What’s really up, or do you just need a break from the kiddo’s?” He asked, leaning his arm on the table between them. “I’m

“Whoa, so violent,” Matt said, holding up a hand in mock surprise. “I mean, yeah, if you think knocking me out is the fair punishment for pelting you with date pits then I say follow your gut. In all honesty I’ve been waiting for someone with arms two-to-three times the size of my own to punch me in the face as hard as they can, so maybe this was kismet. Do you want me to stand up or is it cool if I stay sitting? Whatever’s most comfortable for you.”

“Only asked a question.” The last thing he needed was to get in trouble for hitting some loser who completely deserved it. The more the other spoke, the more Zach halfheartedly considered his first instinct. “If you’re beggin’ to be hit, take up boxing. It’s productive and you can get knocked out as much as you want. Otherwise, you seem like a snitch who’d sue as soon as I laid a finger on you.”

He shifts the folk with the end of his finger, straightening it out before letting it come to a stop on the table, his hand moving to reach for his drink. “I’ll tell Leslie to push your appointments back.” He wouldn’t, because that would be hypocritical of him as he was also the worst for skipping lunch, and he figured Zach would know it was an empty thread too. “Thought so, that blonde nurse—” he makes a gesture with his hand to suggest she’s short. “Practically begged me to ask you, I think you have an admirer.” 

Zach rolled his eyes, “If I didn’t know better, I’d think that was a threat,” it was far from it. There was no way Luke would actually follow through. “I’d love to see you try though, I’ll just do the same for you.” Though he was completely joking. Even if Luke did it, his own statement was just a bluff. A quiet snort left his lips at Luke’s description, “vague, as hell.” Blonde and short, but she was a nurse. Was he supposed to know who that was? His face scrunched, “now laser tag sounds less appealing. I don’t wanna deal with that.”

lucian-harvey​:

Lucian smirks softly, his hand fiddling with the end of the folk on the table. “I keep telling you to stop booking appointments through your lunch hour.” Not that Luke could talk, lunch often ended up as catch up hour, from overrun morning appointments and people calling up claiming its an emergency. “ER nurses are setting up a laser tag—” he raises his hands to airquote the next word “— team building— ” he drops his hands back down, “— afternoon, want me to sneak you onto the list?” 

Lunch hour. He didn’t acknowledge them. Which was actually the problem, he’d actually just ignored such a thing. Then again, who was he taking advice from. How many times had he actually had a decent lunch and not just some cliff bar or protein shake. “One day, I’ll listen to you, until then...” He trailed off, shrugging. Tilted head, he pursed his lips, “Had me at laser tag” And just shooting at people he had worked with. “put me there.”

Taco Tuesday, although that wasn’t what they were doing. It definitely wasn’t Tuesday but taco’s themselves were good enough. He just wished his order would get here sooner than later, even if they had just ordered a second ago. “I'm so hungry my belly thinks my throat's been cut.” He groaned, dropping his head and shoulders. Lifting his head he glanced at Luke, “distract me.”

Sitting on the table part of a picnic bench just outside the Silver Lake farmers market tents, Matt was making his way through a package of fresh dates and tossing the pits at the garbage nearby. Some of them made it in, most of them didn’t. When his shot was inevitably blocked by someone stepping between him and the trash can, he didn’t bother asking them to move, instead chucking one at them and grinning when it hit their arm. “You were in the way,” he explained with a shrug, tone of voice implying he was perfectly in the right. “Do you have anything to say for yourself? Maybe an apology?” @slchat​

Wandering around the Silver Lake farmers market was not only a great way to get fresh cheap veggies, but sunshine, and much needed peace. It had become something of a routine, or at least something mindless he could easily do, that he still enjoyed. Mind somewhere else, he hadn’t noticed the first pit, he couldn’t have missed the second one. He glanced over at the perpetrator, about to move on, until he spoke. He ran his tongue over his teeth, thinking his next actions, shrugging simply. He had time. “If I knock you over, can I use that excuse?”

It’d been a while since Lana had seen Zach, she used to find herself bugging him in the canteen asking questions about different problems that have arisen within surgical peads, if he’d known any of the patients, or if he’d seen anything similar in cases of his own.   

When Zach moved to Luke’s practise Lana couldn’t help but feel a little sad because she spent a lot of time with the guy and she also really respect his views and opinions when it came to her work. However, since it was also Luke’s practise she found herself texting him or dropping by with questions more frequently.

Now however the two were sat in Sal’s pizza waiting for their food to arrive and she was just happy to spend time with the guy with no medical questions, just…good time. Taking her beer she took a long sip and let out a happy sigh. “I don’t think you understand how happy I was when you suggested Sal’s..” she replied with a smile.

“so..How have you been? I’ve not seen you in forever..”

Zach couldn’t have told you the moment Lana had turned from a Weakest Link host to a friend, it never felt like he won anything from answering though. The pride that he actually knew his information was not as fulfilling as it sounded. Especially when he acted on his knowledge and on those around him constantly. Still as much as 20 questions was more common, it had eventually become less bothersome. There’s was no one to blame for himself, he’d agreed to answer her questions, he just hand been aware of how many she had and she continued to have.

He’d kind of missed her presence when he’d spent less time at the hospital, but that had really just led to them meeting more outside of the hospital than in the cafeteria. Truthfully a much better switch, in his opinion. So, Sal’s it was, and an easy choice. “Pizza. Simple, easy, don’t require too much brain power.” He tapped the side of his head to emphasize his point.

“Sun’s shining another day, I’m alive, I must be good.” He shrugged. “Maybe not but you sure know how to use my number.” Zach teased. “How’re you doin’? Third year livin’ up to your expectations?”
