Barnes & Noble in Alexandria, Saturday Afternoon (NFB due to distance)

[swerval_zero]

As the group entered the store, they were greeted by a crowd of women, all waiting to meet Angelica Demesnes. Large tables held copies of all her books for those who hadn't brought their own, including the brand-new Crown Diamond. Zero gleefully snatched up a copy of her very own.

((Due to Parker's connection woes, there will be no travel post. Come one, come all!))

"Horrors!" she exclaimed, trying to wiggle away. "We can't have that. So it looks like I'll have to keep up with the cuddles. It's such a hardship," Isabel sighed.

"I'm a terrible burden on you, I know. But you bear it with unfailing good humour." He tightend his arm so she couldn't escape. "You're very noble."

"I'm trying to build up good karma," Isabel explained. "Fortunately you have charm and good looks. You could have been cranky and gnome like."

"Gnome like? You think I could have been gnome like?" he asked, voice outraged, but his eyes were sparkling and he scooped her up and stole her seat, ending with her on his lap. "In no universe, in no time, anywhere or anywhen, is Jack Harkness gnome like," he grumbled. "The idea's ridiculous."

Isabel squealed as Jack scooped her up, before settling comfortably on his lap and resting her head on his shoulder. "I don't know. Gnomes are sort of cute in an odd scrunched up way."

"You're not helping, you know," he laughed, leaning back into the chair, arms loose around Isabel's waist. "Are you saying I'm only cute in an odd scrunched up way?"

"No, you're devastatingly handsome and charming. I'm just saying that gnomes have their own particular sort of charm." Content, Isabel didn't plan on moving for a while.

"That's okay then." It suddenly occurred to him that the book Izzy had been sitting on was now the book that he was sitting on, so shifted enough to grab it. "Want me to read you a story?"

"What? Oh god..." Shaking her head, Isabel didn't even try to grab for the book. "Sure Jack, tell me a story."

Laughing, he started to read out loud, ocasionally snickering, and at one point he stared at the book and said, "Remind me never to eat at this restaurant."

Eventually Isabel stopped blushing and started laughing.
