WHO: Juniper and Jack Harkness
WHEN: Day five, afternoon
WHAT: Meeting
WHERE: In the courtyard
RATING: TBA (it is Jack, after all)
STATUS: Incomplete

After spending the greater portion of the day with Edward, talking, eating and listening to him playing the piano, Juniper decided that she definitely needed a nap. Between breaking her own hand on Armand's face, the recurring blood loss from that meeting and the ones before it, and the fact that she'd most definitely overexerted herself, she was running on fumes. It took a bit of convincing, but eventually Edward had to admit that she was perfectly safe sleeping during the day, and that if he was there, she probably wouldn't get much sleeping done to begin with. Besides, he'd be there the instant the sun went down anyway.

His goodbye kiss left Juniper a little loopy, and she grinned to herself as she toddled her way across the courtyard toward her dorm. For being kidnapped and trapped without a link home, her life was a pretty amazing one. And that was what she was paying attention to, instead of where she was going, when she slammed into a man she'd never seen before, tripping all over herself and grabbing on to him with her unbraced hand, to keep herself from hitting the ground.

"Whoops," she laughed, looking up at him and grinning. "Sorry about that, luv."

Either species? Jack's fingers practically twitched as the desire to examine became near impossible to resist. He'd have to keep his eye out and, briefly, Jack wondered how much of the TARDIS was functioning and if he could convince the Doctor to do some research. Hell, who was he kidding? This was the Doctor. "Most immortals are insanely dangerous," Jack replied. "I'm only mostly dangerous and that's if I don't get any coffee in the morning. Otherwise, I'm decent." Jack nodded, a grin splitting his face. "Yes, sharing. You have two, I have none. The definition of sharing."

Jack truly couldn't fault her for wanting to know things. He had the same desire and want at the end of the day. "But satisfaction brought him back," Jack finished. "I know my fair share of adages." They walked and Jack watched her out of the corner of his eye, amusement sparking in his features. She was a strange one, but oddly endearing as well. "Two lives left?" Jack asked, frowning. "Who has two lives left? And no, you're not bothering me. Enigmatic, perhaps, but not bothering."

"So you're like every other man then. Obnoxious until you're awake," Juniper laughed. "Well fine, Mister Immortal. You can have the one with the fangs, since he's the one that likes to bite me," she offered with a grin. "I'm keeping the other one. I like him."

"It did, it did," she smiled, and then shrugged. "Me, maybe. I don't know. I just had a thought. I've had six lives, and I always thought that I get seven, so this would be the last one," she shrugged. "Seven is such a prevalent number in anything otherworldly, after all. But I always get teased. Called a cat. Too curious, shiny things will amuse me for hours, I love to be pet...that kind of thing. So if a cat has nine lives, maybe I do to," she smiled.

Jack grinned at that, tilting his head -- but it was hard to say if he was agreeing with her or warning her. Jack could be an enigma when he really wanted to. "I suppose that means I'm in the clear since I don't sleep. Well, much, anyway." He shrugged, letting his mind conjure up an image of this vampire. "I'll need a bit more description if I'm going to agree to the fanged-one," Jack replied. "A man has to have some standards, you know."

A far-off look settled itself on Jack's face as they walked, Jack no longer looking down at Juniper. After a pause, he began to speak without realising he was talking aloud. "I once thought I only had so many lives. After I woke up the first time, Ithought it was a fluke. That I really hadn't been shot. Almost two thousand deaths later, I'm beginning to wonder if I have a set number of lives." Catching himself before he said any more, Jack wiped the odd look from his face and, instead, fixed Juniper with a flirtatious smile. "Who knows, maybe you have far more than nine lives. Though I don't think it's something I'd want to be testing anytime soon."

Juniper grinned, shaking her head as she realised that Jack was looking for dating prospects. At least, that's how it seemed. "Let's see...blond. Young...looking, anyway. Very handsome and pretty intense. Pale skin, fangs, telepathic, you know, the traditional vampire business." Juniper paused and considered, then she grinned a bit. "When he bites you...it's better than sex, Jack," she confessed in a whisper. "If he didn't scare the crap out of me..." Juniper trailed off with a loopy roll of her eyes and a little groan. "I think that, for you, he'd be worth looking into." Given that Jack couldn't die, anyway.

That smile made her blush a little, but Juniper was too fixated on what he'd said to get too distracted. "You come back," she said with a shake of her head and a thoughtful look. "Like me? With a whole new body and life and mind and everything? Or like..." she snapped her fingers. "Alive."

Jack was always on the look-out for potential prospects. There may have been only one man h e wanted to date but it didn't preclude him from looking either. No, not in the slightest. "Usually don't go for the blond sorts, but I could make an exception come to think of it." Jack couldn't help but lick his lips, particularly when he saw that grin on her face. "Better than sex, you say?" Jack asked. "With all my experience, I think that's going to be hard to top, but I may have to find this blond vampire you speak of." Jack scratched his chin thoughtfully. "Not like there's much risk anyway," he murmured.

Didn't hurt to talk about it with her, did it? It was usually something Jack held so close to his chest but what did it hurt? Not like it was something that could hurt him, was it? "I come back..." Jack snapped his fingers. "Like that. I'll heal what's wrong with me, if there is anything. Body metabolises things or the skin heals. How is it that you come back?" Jack asked, curiosity getting the better of him.
