Well it wasn't on purpose. Need me to kiss it better?

[Jack grins and stands up shaking out all the kinks.]

I know I know save the world by stabbing a guy....not the first time it's happened Doctor....and yes you can kiss it better in fact I'm insisting that you do.

When did you turn into such a baby? You're spending too much time with little River.

I did warn you to get down. [ Sighs and jumps down from her perch after a moment. ]

Though I really didn't think I had that much force in the attack. Sorry. [ The ball of water she was using as a weapon's in her hand, she drops it ltting it splash on the ground. ] Here let me see, I have bandages.

[Jack raises his hand and gets up smoothly.]

No need I'll be fine in a second....just hit me harder then I thought.

No..no I'm alright. Just give me a moment or two.

[Jack sits up and pats down his arms and legs making sure he doesn't have any wounds.]

Natural healer? [ She was sure that she had hit him with small enough beads as well as the large one to cause some bleeding, but other than a few tears in his shirt... she wasn't seeing blood. ]

[He laughs and reaches out to hug the Doctor.]

You love it when I get a little whiny it always ends well for you.

Only because I know the best way to both shut you up and make you happy. [The Doctor went easily into Jack's arms.]

Immortal. Long story.

[He smiles at her.]

Captain Jack Harkness and you are?

[Jack chuckles and nods.]

Yes, yes you do.

Most Immortals have long stories, it's part of the gig.

[ She holds out her hand. ] Constance Aerie, Alchemist.

[Jack shakes the offered hand.]

Pleasure to meet you. My stories are very, very long just so you know.

What's on your mind, Jack?

[ She chuckles a little. ] It's alright I won't ask. Just glad I didn't hurt you. I, sometimes lose control of the energies it takes to manipulate water.

[Jack shakes his head.]

Couldn't hide anything from you could I? I was thinking....maybe we should settle for a while...you know like in a house.

[The Doctor was silent for a moment thinking. This wasn't the first time they'd talked about it, and the Doctor had been thinking about it. Now that they had River...traveling wasn't really safe for her.]

I reckon it's time we do thing properly, at least until River is older.

It's not the worst way I've ever died really.

I think once she hits double digits we could start traveling again, but right now she's so little and she'll start crawling soon.

[Jack might be babbling a bit.]

"Hey, it's okay," the Doctor said, smiling at Jack. "I agree, you don't have to sell it to me. Until she's old enough to run, and run fast, we need to settle down somewhere. Did you have any place in mind?" he asked, stroking a hand down Jack's arm.

probably not. I don't like to torture anyone if I have to kill them. Quicker's usually less messy too.

Not always, shoot someone in the right place and you've got pretty easy clean up.

[ Constance chuckled a little ]

Yeah, but bullets... really if they find the body traceable. Elements, can be chalked up to a freak accident.

Very true...only one guy I know of would be looking for something like that.

Should I worry about that? because usually if one person starts looking they tend to tell others to do the same. Makes it harder to carry out work if you need to.
