"Busy, busy," muttered Lila while she helped Bill and the others as the library dealt with an influx of people. It's a mix between checking out books and handing out pieces of paper with the passcode to the library computers. Lila's been going between floors helping with the load as the others done periodically since the library opened today.
With it getting cooler out and higher chances of snow, lots of people wanted a good book to read in their homes, and others wanted reliable internet, just in case theirs gets knocked out by the weight of the snow.
"I can't wait for vacation," Bill mused that she couldn't wait to leave for her four-week vacation. Deciding she can't stand the coldness for a spell, Bill wanted to slip away to somewhere warmer, and decided on Italy.
Lila snorted at this, but not because she disagreed with Bill's vacation. She certainly earned it. For Lila, ever since a spaceman broke into her flat, she's never gotten a vacation. If she's not working in the library, she's usually off on an adventure with Theodore. Often not by choice, Hammond and Hamon have a way of coaxing her to go along for the sake of keeping an eye on Theodore.
The day Lila gets hers, she's not answering her phone nor telepathic messages, and she's certainly not going near disjointed police boxes. She's going back to America for old time's sake. Maybe bring back a couple of things that she can't find here.
While she might've asked Theodore or 'Ziggy' (her nickname for the TARDIS,) Lila knows that she couldn't trust Ziggy. That machine's got a sense of humor and Lila doesn't like it. Any time Theodore wanted to go somewhere peaceful, the damned thing always took him somewhere completely opposite of where he wanted.
One'd think by now Ziggy would've softened up and take Theodore where he wanted without adding onto his plate, but the machine seems to feel differently.
It's a miracle that they're even able to go home once a while to cover shifts and keep up with their respected families, but Theodore hasn't tried skirting around his duties as the Doctor.
After what happened with the Daleks, he's been tact about it, since.
Lord knows what that aloof giant would do the moment Ziggy cuts him loose and lets him have a vacation without things trying to kill, maim, use, abuse, and eat him.
Man's what one called "on the lean side" for that eating part, but Lila wasn't arguing with creatures that considered her and Theodore edible.
Even if he gotten a vacation, Hammond's certainly making sure he doesn't do anything foolish, whenever he goes on vacation's going to be an interesting story on account the man's not the one to take vacations.
Like clockwork he'll work in the library without missing a beat and considering what Lila knew about him, he's probably addicted to working, or this' what Time Lords consider vacation.
"I hope I get out of here before the snow starts dropping," Bill sighed as she went through the returned books, scanning them back into the system as she goes through them.
Lila remarked, "Bill, with your luck, you're going to sip on mojitos getting a tan!"
Giggling, Bill asked if Lila planned to take her vacation soon and it took Lila willpower not to laugh loudly at the thought.
"I'd figure you spend Christmas with them," Bill raised her finger as she shoved the last book back on the cart.
Lila responded that her brothers' on tour now and one's in Singapore while the other's in Japan. Dad's in Norfolk for the time being.
