Would anyone like a jelly baby?

Comments

I'd love one. Sweet to offer.

[walkineternity.livejournal.com]

My pleasure, I'm happy to oblige.

[malone-holly.livejournal.com]

Do you always offer free sweets?

[walkineternity.livejournal.com]

Yes; it seems to make people spontaneously happy, and I'm terribly fond of them myself, so I see no reason why I shouldn't share.

[archaic-way.livejournal.com]

I'd like one, please?

[walkineternity.livejournal.com]

Of course, I have plenty! *grins*

[archaic-way.livejournal.com]

Thank you, it's really very kind of you to share.

[walkineternity.livejournal.com]

It's not a bother at all; more people should give when they have so much to spare, though I'd never think to lecture anyone. I'm the Doctor, by the way.

*smiles as he holds out the bag of sweets*

[sleepswithlove.livejournal.com]

Oooh! What is a jelly baby?

[walkineternity.livejournal.com]

They're soft, confectionery sweets made with gelatin, a bit like gummy bears, I suppose, but far superior.

[sleepswithlove.livejournal.com]

Oh. A sweet like chocolate? I've just had that; it was fantstic!

I've never had gummy bears either.

[walkineternity.livejournal.com]

Well, rather like chocolate, but...fruity. Try one. The green ones are my personal favorite.

[antigone-grace.livejournal.com]

Only the Doctor offers Jelly Babies.

[walkineternity.livejournal.com]

Yes, I do, don't I? But it's nice to be predictable about that sort of thing, isn't it? Would you like one?

[antigone-grace.livejournal.com]

You're the Doctor? *peers at him* I must say that you've changed quite a bit.

[walkineternity.livejournal.com]

Indeed I am. Apparently you've met one of my future incarnations...or one of my former.

[thestraychild.livejournal.com]

Can I have one please, Doctor? I've run out.

[walkineternity.livejournal.com]

Of course you may. It's a positive shame you've run out. *hands over bag* I have plenty, take as many as you'd like.

[thestraychild.livejournal.com]

Thanks. *accepts the bag, and pulls out a red one, which she starts sucking* It's hard to buy more when you're drifting through time and space, you know. Not everybody has them.

[walkineternity.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know that plight quite well, which is why I always bring plenty with me; I can't ever be certain how soon I'll return to Earth. The yellow ones are my least favorite, I've found. When I offered some to a gentleman once, he stole every color but yellow. I was nervous about offering any for a time after that. But I trust you. *grins*

[eleventh-doctor.livejournal.com]

That's my line now.

(Yes, please.)

[walkineternity.livejournal.com]

Yes, we haven't lost our taste for the sweets, have we? That's a comfort, in any case.

Which color am I fondest of now?

[eleventh-doctor.livejournal.com]

I'm quite fond of the red ones.

[besabas-bane.livejournal.com]

are there any pink ones left?

[walkineternity.livejournal.com]

Of course! There's an abundance of every color, help yourself.
