Knees to the Floor; Hands to the Sky

And oh, it's hard now
With time, it works out
To be human is to love
Even when it gets too much
I'm not ready to give up

Lucy danced down the street. Harry was working with UNIT now, and it seemed 'Kate' was willing to let him out of his confinement based upon good behavior. And, perhaps, the knowledge that UNIT had kept him confined just fine during her father's time. Lucy didn't know, and she wasn't particularly certain that she cared either. She and Harry were tentatively rebuilding their marriage, and that was cause for excitement all its own.

Perhaps some trepidation as well, but Lucy wasn't quite as fragile as she used to be. She'd grown during their separation, not enough to fully move on but let he without sin cast the first stone.

She didn't notice the woman at first, despite her dress being a brilliant purple instead of the black she'd worn before. Lucy didn't register why the hair on the back of her neck was standing on end until she heard the server announce the type of tea that had been brought and remembered this was a chocolatier not a tea shop.

Wide eyes looked to the woman, the Time Lord she'd been sure, that she'd traded with so many years ago from her perspective.


Missy

also feel free to join should you like The Master

Placing the cup of tea down in front of Lucy, Missy pulled the chair out across from the woman slowly before placing her own cup of the lapsang souchong tea down on the table and sitting down.

Reaching forward she took her tea in her hand, taking slow sip "Close your mouth dear you'll catch flys."

There was a grin there, not malicious, or mean just mischievous and Missy did nothing to hide it. "I thought the choice of tea would go well with the chocolate."

It was properly eerie, just how similar this encounter was starting to their last. Only she didn't have any of Harry's strange technology to trade this time. Lucy couldn't deny that this woman had helped her previously, but that didn't merit gratitude precisely. She had paid for the help.

Then again, perhaps it was thanks to her that she had survived that explosion.

"Close your mouth dear you'll catch flies."

Her jaw clicked obediently, as if the woman was her etiquette tutor or her father.

Never antagonize an unknown quantity. Charm is your strength.

"I'm sure that it will," Lucy told the woman politely. She hesitates at first to take the seat, then remembers she is not the Lucy from the Valiant. She has travelled with and befriended a hummingbird, her dear best friend Iblis, and she was coming to good terms with her husband. Whoever this Time Lady was, she wouldn't show her fear.

So she sat and tucked herself in.

Missy watched as Lucy took her seat and smiled again, trying to keep the conversation light under the circumstances of their last meeting “Now my dear.” Missy leaned forward placing her hand under her chin leaning on her arms a little “How have you been since the last time we met?”


(I know it's a hella small post after taking so long to reply, I'm sorry >.<)

"Surprisingly lively," Lucy replied lightly. The potion of death that had been made from the recipe this Time Lord had given her might have killed her, or it might have saved her in a strange way. The woman still was not entirely certain as to which of the two to credit. "Yourself?"

Missy

[Missy]

The right side of Missy's mouth twitched slightly upwards when Lucy said that her life had been lively "Yourself?" slowly Missy raised her cup to her lips, taking a sip of the tea before answering “Oh you know, same ol’ same ol’ helping those in need.” through world domination, she thought with a smile, “And how have you and the happy hubby been dear one?”
