[drinks] Reinette and the Doctor [of the not-ginger-persuasion]

[onlysayinghello]

The Doctor had made all the arrangements and making sure that Reinette was going to be coming along. Of course the last minute note that Jack had invited her along for the 'date' was something that flustered the Doctor even more. Which of course Jack thoroughly enjoyed.

Rather than try to clean up Torchwood or anything of the sort he picked a fine establishment just outside of London and had settled up in a dimly lit corner of the bar waiting for the others to join him. Of course he had started drinking without them and was sure that it wouldn't be a worry to either.

When he spotted them coming in he was a gentleman of course and stood for the company of Reinette and just grinned at the Doctor who had an expression on his face that was both of pure amusement and frustration all at the same time. It really was quite the spectacle.

The barmaid came by and took all their orders and hurried off to put them in. Jack leaned back in the corner booth and smiled at his friend the Doctor and the lovely Madame de Pompadour as he took his final sip of his drink.

"Well this is already proving to be a promising evening, I've got a lovely lady to one side of me and the Doctor to the other. I'd say I'd died and gone to heaven, but really... what are the odds of me dying these days?"

Oh Jack was interested in this story that was for certain. Shifting to lean forward in the booth and rest his elbow to the counter he just grinned at the two of them as they tried to relive the good old days.

"Always the gentleman, but he's focused that's for sure. Rose and you had been dancing in my ship for a few moments before I ever opted to interrupt, and you'd been through transport. Most people notice that sort of thing."

Then his smile shifted toward Reinette who in the dim and tungsten lit room had an almost ethereal glow about her... or maybe his vision was hazing up a bit from the booze... either way she was still gorgeous.

"Of course I'm sure with you my dear it was hard not to notice more than a few things worth noticing," of course this snapped his attention back to the Doctor, "Wait... you didn't even? You noticed her right? And still? Was this before or after the horse thing?"

"Before," the Doctor said, as if that was the most obvious thing. "And of course I did. I'm not blind, you know."

He was, however, finished his drink and oh look there was that lovely waitress refilling it for him. How kind of her!

"As for the dancing, we had a bit on our minds, you know."

"Though your vision was significantly more impaired when you removed your glasses," Reinette could not help but tease, something in her own alcohol bringing a lighter humor to her wit. "Not the the action itself was not endearing."

As for Jack? Reinette raised her glass in brief salute. "Of course you would know about dancing. Does this not mean I get to hear the tale of how both of you met?"
