WHO: Roger Davies and OTA
WHAT: Getting Coffee far, far away from Marcus
WHEN: Monday morning
WHERE: Shop outside St. Mungo's

Roger had decided to stop going to the Tea Room after being assaulted with toast. Monday morning, after getting Brighton his breakfast and hustling him off to his grandmother's for the day, he'd come to the hospital and stopped at a nearby cafe for his morning drink.

He sat outside with his coffee and a pastry he'd purchased and nibbled on it, still mulling over, a week later, why Marcus Belby would attack him with burnt bread.

	"He threw black toast at me and said it was as black as my heart." Roger just wasn't used to people not liking him. He was very likable. He was charismatic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Kaira hadn't known that. There was a brief moment when she stared at him icnredulously before bursting into laughter , burying her hands into her face as her shoulders shook. His honest to god hurt that Marcus had done that was what made it all the funnier.

"That's hilarious," she said when she managed to control herself, "black as your heart." She gave an amused sniff and wiped at her eyes. "When I said he's protective of her I meant really protective," she drew out the word.

	"Why is that?" Roger was one of the few people who was oblivious to the romantic desires of others. He didn't know Lisa was enamoured with him and he didn't know Marcus felt the same way about Lisa. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Well," Kaira stopped, actually stumped. She didn't knwo that Marcus liked Lisa, or maybe she'd always suspected. He'd acted so oddly when she mentioned a girlfriend to him, but Kaira had thought it was some girl outside of work that Marcus didn't want to bring into the hospital gossip. Understandble. But now, as Kaira actually thought about it, why was Marcus so protective of Lisa?"

"Well they've been good friends for a long time," Kaira said finally, more calmly, "don't you feel protective enough of your friends to throw toast at enemies?"

	"I guess..." Roger wasn't too close with most of his friends these days. He kept everyone but Brighton at arm's length. It was unmanaged fear of loss. Roger had never properly coped with the death of Brighton's mother. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Men. "Well," she patted his arm comfortingly, "I would throw burnt toast at someone for you, maybe even steaming porridge if I was really ticked." She needed to talk to Marcus about Lisa. "Are you okay?" she asked hesitantly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I think so." He felt pretty awful. "I just wish my pent up sexual frustration didn't have to backfire on Lisa. She's been so helpful." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It happens to the best of us," Kaira reasoned with a small smile. "I best be getting inside, but come find me if you need to talk," she leaned over and kissed his cheek before giving him a final friendly pat on his head. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Thanks Kaira." He picked up the rest of his breakfast. "You're a good friend." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's what I've been telling you for years," she said airily. "Appreciate me more," she called over her shoulder as she walked back to the hospital, a full day ahead of her. (Reply to this) (Parent)
