Piper!

Your package arrived today. Thank you so much. I'll see that Owen gets the cookies: I think he's still in hospital for another day or two so I'll take him a bag this afternoon.

The others will be shared. Even I can't eat that many cookies :).

Thank you again!

Email from Woolsey today. He said the UK IOA representative will be sending me some official information and the application and I should get it sometime next week.

Christ, babe, that's fantastic!

I haven't met the UK representative, but from what I understand of IOA politics, it's probably best to play up your national pride. The other representatives tend to be a little sore over the U.S. having control of the gate, so they'll probably want people from their countries to be...not exactly hostile, but not overly affectionate towards the U.S.

[Private to Lorne]

No problem. I can do national pride. Throw in a few Cymru am byth!s here and there . . . leave off the English-bashing . . .

[Private to Ianto]

Yeah, English-bashing probably won't help. I'm pretty sure the UK rep is English. And a bit stuffy, from what I've seen of him. Most of the IOA people are a bit stuffy.

[Private to London]

That was a mild attempt at a joke. I know how to talk to the English. I lived in London for quite a while, remember.

I can deal with stuffy. I've been accused of being that myself a time or two.

[Private to Ianto]

I know it was. I wasn't taking you seriously.

You? Stuffy? Whoever accused you of that obviously didn't know you very well.

[Private to Lorne]

Love, I've been accused of being everything from stuffy to OCD, just because I like order and prefer dressing for work like it's work rather than play.

[Private to Ianto]

I could see where someone might get the idea that you were OCD. But people thinking you're stuffy just makes me feel like I'm in on a secret.

[Private to Lorne]

The secret of the vastness of my dorkitude?

[Private to Ianto]

Yep. It makes me feel a little smug. Because I know something about you that they clearly don't.

[Private to Lorne]

I don't mind keeping that between us. Lovers should have a few things that are just their own.

[Private to Ianto]

Good. I like that you're my big damn geek even if no one else knows.

[Private to Lorne]

I love being your big damn geek, too.

[Private to Ianto]

I love you, babe. And you make me so happy.

[Private to Lorne]

I love you too. You make me happier than I thought I could be.

[Private to Ianto]

Thanks for taking the cookies to Owen. I thought he could use some cheering up.

You're quite welcome. :)

[Private to Piper]

Work quite literally took a bite out of him this week, so someone thinking of him was doubly welcome.

I took them to him in hospital this afternoon. He'll thank you himself once he's recovered.

I think they were a hit with the rest of my co-workers as well. I bring homemade things every now and again but there are only about three things I make well, so actual good food is always welcome.

[Private to Ianto]

Aww yay, I'm glad everyone liked them. :)

So, did you eat that whole tub of icing in one sitting?

[OOC: OMG I fail at commenting tonight. *facepalms*]

[Private to Piper]

We eat so much takeout that home-cooked food is a novelty, I think.

Good lord, no.

...maybe if I'm bored over the weekend, though.
