Who: Brendann Brennan & Serenity
Where: Brend's restaurant and slash or office in London
When: Wednesday evening, shortly after this
What: Tinysaur delivery!
Warnings: Possible, but unlikely.

It didn't take Serenity long to find the address, she wasn't entirely used to cities being all laid out linearly, and it made more sense to her to have them all over the place, but the nice straight lines made for easy access and direction.

She very nearly bounded in the front door, looking a little more like a tourist than even the tourists did, wearing a shiny, brightly patterned almost-Hawaiian shirt and a pair of comfortable pants and carrying a gallon ziplock full of miniature dinos. What she told the maitre d' was: "I've got a tinysaur delivery for uh..." It occurred to her then that they hadn't actually introduced themselves, and she finished with: "The guy with the office."

	Brend was calling his distributors and reordering some items, getting new items. He looked up when he saw the girl in his doorway, smiling a little bit and waving her in. (Reply to this)

Serenity was glad that this sort of thing seemed to happen often enough that the maitre d' didn't even bat an eye, just had someone lead her off to the office.

She grinned as she slipped into the office, setting the bag down on Brend's desk, careful to keep it out of the way of anything that looked important, "I'm Serenity, didn't get to that part before and I ain't so used to having to tell people."

	"I'm Brendann, and why not?" He hung the phone up and smiled at her, looking in the bag. "Eee, they're wee!" (Reply to this)

	since_i_found 2009-09-13 06:06 am UTC (link)
	"Used to be a ship." She said, "In space. Had a manifest, so people knew right off who I was, still getting used to the introductions bit, but I'll figure it out I bet." She grinned again at his apparent excitement, "I know! Aren't they awesome?" (Reply to this)

	baby_brendann 2009-09-13 06:08 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, there's a lot of people here that used to be someone else. I know my dad's friends with some people that used to be cars. So it's not so uncommon." He smiled and started to make the dinosaurs dance. (Reply to this)

	since_i_found 2009-09-13 06:10 am UTC (link)
	"I'd heard about that." She said with a nod, "Stuff coming up as people. And people replacing other people, that's what makes my head hurt, but at least whoever I fell into's got good taste." Another shrug, "Paleontology student." (Reply to this)

	baby_brendann 2009-09-13 06:15 am UTC (link)
	"That seems fun!" He smiled and moved to put the dinosaurs on his desk, arranging the dinosaurs contentedly. (Reply to this)

	since_i_found 2009-09-13 06:16 am UTC (link)
	Another smile, nodding, "So far I like it, get to go on a dig once the weather cools off a bit, and I get to work in the gift shop when I don't have class, so that's fun too. SO many kids like dinos, it's great." (Reply to this)

	baby_brendann 2009-09-13 06:18 am UTC (link)
	"I can't think of a kid that doesn't like dinosaurs." He smiled and pulled his legs to his chest. (Reply to this)

	since_i_found 2009-09-13 06:23 am UTC (link)
	"You might have a point there." She said, nodding, "I just ain't known enough kids to find out if it's a universal trait or what." (Reply to this)

	baby_brendann 2009-09-13 06:24 am UTC (link)
	"Not a lot of kid passengers... inside of you?" He blinked and laughed. That was an awkward sentence. (Reply to this)

	since_i_found 2009-09-13 06:31 am UTC (link)
	"Aboard works." She said, smiling crookedly, "And we weren't much for taking on passengers, not unless there was no other work to be had." (Reply to this)

	baby_brendann 2009-09-13 06:36 am UTC (link)
	"What did you guys do?" He smiled and rifled through a drawer, producing a bag of thick cut potato chips. (Reply to this)

	since_i_found 2009-09-13 06:38 am UTC (link)
	She tilted her head, having to think about that one, finally settling on, "We were a cargo ship and a cargo crew. Leastaways that's what we were on paper." (Reply to this)

	baby_brendann 2009-09-13 07:03 am UTC (link)
	"What were you on not paper? If it wasn't legal or if it was bad, nobody's going to judge you here." He opened the bag of chips and munched one. (Reply to this)

	since_i_found 2009-09-13 07:05 am UTC (link)
	"Big damn heroes." She said, smiling crookedly and fluffing a hand through her hair. "Sure, we nicked some stuff, but always from the right people and for the right reasons." She shrugged, "Well, in theory." (Reply to this)

	baby_brendann 2009-09-13 07:06 am UTC (link)
	He shrugged. "Intent means a lot to me and mine, and I'm friends with tons of thieves. Don't worry about it." (Reply to this)

	since_i_found 2009-09-13 07:14 am UTC (link)
	"Sounds like you might get on just fine with my folk then." She said, smiling again, "Weren't just thieves, really only did proper thieving once or twice, when there wasn't much other work and we had to make do." (Reply to this)

	baby_brendann 2009-09-13 07:15 am UTC (link)
	He nodded and nibbled on another chip. "Making do is all you really can do, sometimes." (Reply to this)

	since_i_found 2009-09-13 07:16 am UTC (link)
	She laughed softly, nodding, "Yeah, especially when you've got the authorities on your ass for being on the wrong side of a war what happened years back." (Reply to this)

	baby_brendann 2009-09-13 07:18 am UTC (link)
	"Wars are stupid anyway." He sighed and licked some salt of off his finger. "I'm glad I've never seen any." (Reply to this)

	since_i_found 2009-09-13 07:21 am UTC (link)
	"And if you're lucky you won't." She said, nodding, "Don't seem to be something that happens around here. And you're liable to be long dead by the time that one rolls around, since people've outgrown the planet by then." (Reply to this)

	baby_brendann 2009-09-13 07:22 am UTC (link)
	"I hope I'm long dead by that time anyway." He twined his hair between his fingers. "That would be awful." (Reply to this)

	since_i_found 2009-09-13 05:20 pm UTC (link)
	She smiled crookedly once more, "Now death ain't something I go wishing on people too often, but in this case I hope you are too, ain't nobody needs to see that." (Reply to this)

	baby_brendann 2009-09-13 06:36 pm UTC (link)
	"As long as it's far in the future, I'll have a nice long life before then." He smiled and pushed a hunk of purple hair out of his face. (Reply to this)

	since_i_found 2009-09-13 10:59 pm UTC (link)
	She nodded, smiling again, "It's far enough off that we call this place 'Earth That Was', so I'm going to guess you've got some time." (Reply to this)

	baby_brendann 2009-09-14 05:15 am UTC (link)
	"And I'm not going to live forever, so here's hoping." He smiled a little. "Do you miss flying?" (Reply to this)

	since_i_found 2009-09-14 05:21 am UTC (link)
	She actually had to think about that one, head tilting, mulling it over for a few long moments, finally shrugging, "Ain't had any real reason to yet, been keeping busy with other things. Guess I do though." (Reply to this)

	baby_brendann 2009-09-14 05:53 am UTC (link)
	"I'm sorry. Maybe you could become a pilot?" He shrugged and smiled. (Reply to this)

	since_i_found 2009-09-14 06:06 am UTC (link)
	She shrugged, smiling again, "Maybe. Don't know that I'd be much good at it though, not saying I'm too old to learn or nothin', just don't know that I'm pilot material, cool in a crisis and all that." (Reply to this)

	baby_brendann 2009-09-14 11:48 pm UTC (link)
	"You don't know until you try!" He smiled and sucked some salt off of his finger. (Reply to this)

	since_i_found 2009-09-14 11:51 pm UTC (link)
	"You've got a good point." She said with a laugh, "Might just look into it. After we visit the tar pits though, because that looks like it'll be fun." She tilted her head then, "What is it you do? I ain't used to having options, so I'm makin' the most of it." (Reply to this)

	baby_brendann 2009-09-15 01:34 am UTC (link)
	"I'm a chef," Brend shrugged. "I make food for people. Speaking of, are you hungry?" He stood and wiped his hands on his apron. (Reply to this)

	since_i_found 2009-09-15 02:53 am UTC (link)
	She blinked at that, "Wait, like, for serious? Like the fancy places on the core planets and the Alliance ships have got?" She grinned then, "Well damn, I'll tell you right now, us Big Damn Heroes, even the ones that used to be ships, ain't ever going to turn down food." (Reply to this)

	baby_brendann 2009-09-15 03:02 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, that's me! Be right back." He snuck out to the kitchen, coming back with a bowl of lamb stew and some bread. "Here, try this." (Reply to this)

	since_i_found 2009-09-15 03:16 am UTC (link)
	She settled in comfortably, dunking the bread in the stew and nibbling at it almost cautiously, head tilting as she did so, "That's... what is that? S'good." (Reply to this)

	baby_brendann 2009-09-15 03:20 am UTC (link)
	"Lamb, potatoes, carrots." He smiled and shrugged. "Not a lot of that where you're from?" (Reply to this)

	since_i_found 2009-09-15 03:35 am UTC (link)
	"Carrots, sometimes, planetside." She said between tiny, careful bites, "Potatoes too sometimes, depends on the planet. Lamb? Not often. Cows sometimes, trucked a load of those once." (Reply to this)

	baby_brendann 2009-09-15 03:37 am UTC (link)
	"Cows are good, but I like this better," he shrugged. "Now that you're here, I'm sure you'll end up eating a lot of new things." (Reply to this)

	since_i_found 2009-09-15 03:40 am UTC (link)
	She beamed at that, mopping the last of the stew up with the last of the bread, "You know, I'm starting to think that I will." (Reply to this)
