Hello everyone, I would like to meet you all properly. I am Dr. Evelyn Graham, though the name Dr. Xi might tell more to those of you used to greek letters. Those who've been paying attention might be able to guess more from the first. And Mr. Black, Mr. Ridgebit, I do hope you allow a space for +1 on my wedding invitation. I'll have a date, and I look forward to dancing at the reception.

It certainly took long enough to build this lovely place. For those of you with experience in healing, in medicine, or who have an interest in research, I will be continuing my abandoned research on a floor of your hospital in this town, St. Mungo's. There are risks, even though we will not have patients here if all goes without incident. It's claimed my life once before.

Warded to: Oscar

How long exactly has this been possible, and why didn't you do it sooner? Was this why you refused that charming man? My muscles aren't actually feeling sore are they, some kind of phantom pains from being two dimensional too long?

	Love triumphs over so many trials and tribulations, even death sometimes. Yes, I have been madly in love with Oscar since I was a girl. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Who knows why. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're a lovely irresistible charming young man. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrgamma 2013-07-18 01:16 am UTC (link)
	That's not how I remember it. I recall trying desperately to keep my nose in a book while some sneaky redhead plotted ways to steal it from me. And young is certainly in the past. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You were irresistible. And you wouldn't look up. Young is in the palm of the beholder, and you certainly proved yourself young. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrgamma 2013-07-18 01:22 am UTC (link)
	Perhaps only to you, for which I am grateful. Some of us were trying to get our schoolwork done, see. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	drxi 2013-07-18 01:25 am UTC (link)
	I doubt that, but I'm the one lucky enough to catch your eye too. Oscar, you've never needed that much time to finish your schoolwork. I know because I've never let you have it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrgamma 2013-07-18 01:27 am UTC (link)
	Sweetheart, there was no 'catching' involved. My eye was drawn to you. And that's because I learned to adapt. Had to keep up with you and all of your energy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	drxi 2013-07-18 01:35 am UTC (link)
	I did decide you liked me when I was age five. I've held you to it ever since. And you were not nearly as buried in paperwork as some of your peers during this project for it. You have as much energy. You hold it inside like a light that shines in the darkness. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrgamma 2013-07-18 01:37 am UTC (link)
	I recall! Suddenly, I transitioned from dragon-to-battle to prince-in-distress who needed rescuing. It's true, and purposeful. I learned earlier on that I saved myself paperwork and them stress by building a relationship where they'd provide data willingly. And you are biased. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	drxi 2013-07-18 01:43 am UTC (link)
	I always rescued you, though. And I taught you how to rescue yourself from time to time. You were damn good at this job, and I'm obviously not the only one who thinks so. You're as biased, Oscar. I'd say we're mutually biased to our mutual advantage. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrgamma 2013-07-18 01:45 am UTC (link)
	That you did, on both counts. I feel very lucky to have managed to make it through the entire process, frankly. I can agree to that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	drxi 2013-07-18 01:50 am UTC (link)
	We cannot climb nearly as high in trees without the use of magic. We weigh so much. It's not mere luck, you wonderful man, it's you. It's always been you. Good. We could redecorate a little. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrgamma 2013-07-18 01:52 am UTC (link)
	Oh, I'm sure you'll find a way. I have faith. And you're lovely. Sure. We'll have to, actually, since my key focal point portraits no longer have anything in them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	drxi 2013-07-18 02:02 am UTC (link)
	Are ropes and pulleys cheating? I have a body younger than my age. And I feel it. I feel young. Thank Alpha for that. Walking in the space between portraits is worse than hallways. In fact, I'm thinking no paintings. There's been enough of paintings. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrgamma 2013-07-18 02:08 am UTC (link)
	We'll say no. You make me feel young too, love. And I'm almost 90. No paintings. Agreed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	drxi 2013-07-18 02:11 am UTC (link)
	Then we can do it. You are young, Oscar. You're going to live to 150 at least. And you'll never be old. I can only compliment your taste in craftsmanship. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrgamma 2013-07-18 02:13 am UTC (link)
	Think so? Why, thank you, Mrs Dr Graham. I pride myself on my craftsmanship. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	drxi 2013-07-18 02:20 am UTC (link)
	I know so. I won't permit anything less. Thank you, Dr. Graham. You should pride yourself in it every night. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrgamma 2013-07-18 02:24 am UTC (link)
	Well, then it's settled. Should I? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	drxi 2013-07-18 02:29 am UTC (link)
	Certainly you know I expected at least a hundred years of marriage with you when we married. That would be most appropriate. And it's only fair. There is plenty of time in the day to complete research. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrgamma 2013-07-18 02:32 am UTC (link)
	It ought to have been in our vows. It's true. And, as you know, my research schedule just opened up quite a bit. My projects are all your projects now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	drxi 2013-07-18 02:39 am UTC (link)
	I wanted you to write your own vows. I promised you a great deal, and I'm glad to be here to uphold them further. As I've seen it, there's a research project everyone's let lie on the wayside the past four or five decades. I forgive your part in that. You've done work at least as important, and you've raised wonderful children. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrgamma 2013-07-18 02:44 am UTC (link)
	I am eternally grateful to have the chance to hold you to those promises as well. Agreed. We'll establish labs on the other side of the house and get to work. Tomorrow, of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	drxi 2013-07-18 02:50 am UTC (link)
	I know, Oscar. I can see it in every part of your face. We can, yes, but some of them should be established in St. Mungo's. I told people I would, and I'd like them to be able to work without disturbing us sometimes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
