Resolving Issues

Who: Rose Tyler, Jack Harkness
When: Afternoon, after Jack spends the morning with Martha
Where: Lounge
Summary: Rose is still irritated at Jack's attitude in the lobby and it turns out they have some issues to work out between them.



Rose was still grumbling about Jack that afternoon, completely unable to understand where his bout of attitude had come from. It was completely beyond her comprehension no matter how many times she analyzed the situation. Of course, her irritation at the entirety of said situation probably didn't help matters any, and, as predicted, she did feel bad about how she'd reacted to the new arrival's insistence on knowing what was going on, but with everything else that had been going on lately, she just couldn't take it anymore.

Normally these things wouldn't have continued to bother her so much, especially the bit with Jack, but she had very few acquaintances in the hotel, and even fewer of them were what she could consider friends. Martha didn't know her, just of her, and Rose could easily tell what the other woman's opinion of her had been before they'd met. Jack was the only one who really knew anything, the one she'd been close with so long ago. It mattered to her that he'd acted that way at all, and that she may have helped to cause it.

She needed to do something was what it came down to. She had all sorts of pent up energy from just milling around the damned hotel and there were only so many banana daiquiris a girl could drink before she really started to just look pathetic.

So she forced herself out of bed, where she'd been alternately moping and seething, and got dressed in jeans and a t-shirt that, like all the other clothes the hotel had swiped from her TARDIS, was just slightly too big for her. Her sonic screwdriver went in her pocket like always, along with her assortment of keys, and then she pulled on her boots and set off. A good bit of wandering never hurt anyone.

Jack smiled cryptically at her comment. He and Kate weren't really common knowledge yet. "Look after yourself," he told her. "Remember what I said: Don't be a stranger."

"I won't be," she assured him, then set a soft kiss on his cheek before standing. "I'll see you soon, Jack. You still owe me that dance!"

He grinned. "Glen Miller, Moonlight Serenade, any time you're ready!" he said cheerfully.

Rose returned the grin, lingering a moment longer before turning and heading out of the room in a much better mood than when she'd entered.

Jack watched her go, looking at the door for a long moment after it had swung shut behind her. When he turned to grab his book, he could see that his coffee had been freshly refilled. He picked it up, along with the book, and strolled out of the lounge himself. He wanted to see Kate. Maybe he'd go for a wander and see if she was around anywhere.
