[It's good that he explains it's a metaphor, because that gets her to reread the first part and apply that lens to it instead of simply arguing that of course Doctor House doesn't burn because Doctor House is not a fire elemental.]

I am staying with him for now. I think he is less dangerous for me than Doctor Stitches was and he is teaching me things about brains. Doctor House is bad at not dying but he is good at not cutting people up.

I do not think I will stay with anyone forever here. Bad things eventually happen. When there were too many people before Doctor Stitches hurt Rhys. When there were too many people a few days ago the anomaly came and killed Alfie.

[Well, okay, he can agree that House is probably better than Stein. Bloody hell. Are he and Luna the only sane doctors here?]

I think you're right there. You can come back and stay with me any time you'd like, Ecks. We don't have to travel with a big group. Rhys is doing all right now that he's come back. As all right as he can be, anyway.

Invitation's open if you'd ever like to meet up or if you ever need something. Would you might checking in with my now and again? Just so I know you're okay. Maybe we can exchange information, too? What we found. I'll probably be heading downtown after this. We'll see. I'll let you know if I find any coffee, yeah? It'll be yours. Just let me know if you find any tea.

[ecks]

[That, and Ecks has low standards.]

I would like that. I have not found any more tea but I will tell you if I do. I think there will be too many people here soon but I think it is important to dig the tunnel, so I am not going to leave yet. But I would like that.

[jumpthegun]

All right. Let's plan to meet up sometime after you finish the tunnel. That'd be nice. I can pick up some ice cream from the school. Did you like the ice cream we had before?

[ecks]

Yes. Let's plan that. Bring lots of ice cream, it was very unusual and I will need to assess it in more detail. I will need to assess it in much more detail.

[jumpthegun]

[Okay. That? That right there? That's adorable. It even gets a little mental chuckle out of John, in spite of the circumstances of this conversation.]

Will do! If we get lucky, the next place you find beyond that tunnel'll have an ice cream parlor. That's a place that sells all kinds of ice cream. It comes in hundreds of flavors, not just vanilla.

[ecks]

There are other flavors?

[Whaaaat.]

If there is an ice cream parlor I will tell you where it is but I think I will not wait for you before I try it.

[jumpthegun]

[He wants to get her every sort of flavor.]

I'd tell you to have at it, even if you called me to say you were holding back. If there's a flavor in there called Rocky Road, make sure you try it. That's my favorite. It's chocolate ice cream with nuts and marshmallows. Brilliant stuff!

[ecks]

I don't know what chocolate and marshmallows are but I will try them when I can try Rocky Road.

I will tell you when we finish the tunnel.

[jumpthegun]

Thanks much, and good luck!
