WHO: Roger and Leanne
WHAT: Moping
WHEN: Thursday night
WHERE: St. Mungo's

Brighton had a fever that wasn't breaking. Roger was freaking out. It was a low fever, the kid mostly wanted to sleep, but there was no way Roger was going to risk losing his son.

Brighton sat in his pajamas in the waiting room, looking pale and tired, but alive. He was staring horrified at someone with a toasting form stuck in their behind. "Did he put that there himself?"

"No," Roger said quietly. "I assume he sat on it, don't stare."

"Good idea," Leanne said, right about the same time Roger spoke the same words. She couldn't help grin up at him again.

"I'm not a healer, I'm a social worker." Leanne responded. She pointed to the patch on her chest. It was slightly different from the other healers. "I help people who need my help, but not with healing. With other things, like finding somewhere to go if they need, or getting education about things."

Her job sounded kinda lame compared to a Healer.

	"Like school?" Brighton made a face. "My Nana makes me learn letters and it's kind of boring. Do you make people learn letters?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm not a teacher, no." Leanne shook her head. "I help people find classes on things they need to learn. Mostly about how to take care of themselves." How do you explain classes on addiction or self defense to a small child? "For instance, when we have Mommies about to give birth, I help organize classes for them on how to take care of their new babies." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh." Brighton looked at Roger. "Did you take a class on how to take care of me?" "I would have," Roger said, "But we were in the middle of the war, so I had to have Grammy teach me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Some people don't need classes." Leanne said, looking up at Roger with another smile. "Some people are just naturally good Mommies and Daddies. I bet your Daddy is one of those." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah, he's the best." Roger smiled. "What are you doing here so late?" Roger asked. He put his hand on Brighton's forehead. Still hot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Unfortunately, I can't just keep nine to five hours." Leanne said, pulling herself up into the chair next to Brighton. She was thankful to take a moment to rest. "They call me when I'm needed. I'm off now, thankfully." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"My big cases are all wrapped up, so I have nine to fives, but for a while there I was working fourteen hour days every day." It was good he had time off, seeing how things had been weird since he'd slept with his babysitter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Must've been hard to be away from your boy so long." Leanne said. She ran her hand over Brighton's head gently, noting how warm he seemed. A little frown crossed her features. "Is someone helping you two?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"We're on the waiting list behind head injury, internal burn, and fork arse." "You said arse!" Brighton shouted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	At Brighton's outburst, Leanne couldn't help but give a laugh. He didn't seem like he was so sick he needed immediate care. She was a bit relieved. "I'm glad you're being helped." She commented. "I'm sorry things are so slow around here. I'm hoping the hospital puts some of the money we raised in the auction to good use." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	learnedinthelaw 2009-08-28 07:33 pm UTC (link)
	"No word yet on the ladies' auction?" Roger assumed it would be at least a few weeks, so they wouldn't steal each other's thunder. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I haven't heard. I have heard that Hermione worked up something to show to the board, but your guess is as good as mine. Dunno if I'll even participate." She gave a little shrug. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Why not?" Roger let Brighton crawl into his lap. Brighton seemed to want to sleep and that was just fine with Roger. "You don't want to be objectified? I did it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-08-28 07:42 pm UTC (link)
	"No, I'm not..." She wasn't sure what to say, how to explain it. "I'm not really dating right now." She added, though it wasn't really a statement. It almost sounded like a question. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	learnedinthelaw 2009-08-28 09:22 pm UTC (link)
	He chuckled, "Well, this isn't romance, it's charity. I'm not really dating right now either." "And what excuse do you have not to date?" Brighton grabbed Roger's coat off the arm of the chair and used the light jacket as a blanket. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-08-28 09:37 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, but I'd bet you that at least one of those pairings is starting on a romance, or continuing on a romance..." She shook her head a little. "I'm... I've just had my heart broken." She didn't really want to talk about it. Her nose started burning again, and her eyes welled a little. But she didn't cry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I think a lot of people bid on their friends. There's nothing romantic between me and Kaira, but we had fun." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-08-29 03:29 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, I guess so." Leanne shrugged. She didn't have any friends to bid on her. "No idea who'd bit on me." She leaned back a bit in her chair, thinking on it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm sure there's a good number of blokes who would bid on a leggy blonde with two different coloured eyes." Roger preferred blondes himself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah?" She asked, turning to look at him. Brighton looked like he was sleeping now. "I've always thought my eyes were a little strange." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	learnedinthelaw 2009-08-29 03:57 am UTC (link)
	"They're interesting. You could base a whole personal ad in a newspaper on them." Roger checked Brighton's forehead. He still had a fever running, but he was sleeping peacefully. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Leanne couldn't help but smirk a little. Was that supposed to be a compliment. "Should I respond with 'thank you'?" She asked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	learnedinthelaw 2009-08-29 04:03 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, I think so." A nurse came out from behind one of the emergency doors and called for Brighton. "I'll talk to you later, Leanne." Roger stood up, carrying Brighton in his arms. Brighton stirred and looked around. "Is it our turn?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-08-29 04:07 am UTC (link)
	"Thank you." Leanne managed to get it out before the nurse came to collect Roger and Brighton. Leanne stood with them and patted Brighton's knee briefly. "See you two later. Good luck in there." She headed in the opposite direction, toward the lifts. (Reply to this) (Parent)
