what's a queen without her king?
"Nope, but there can be!" You trill back brightly, thoughts snapped away from all of your wondrous speculations back to the here and now. Your cheeks flush a pretty pink with a weak sort of embarrassment for having been caught so off-guard, but it isn't an emotional state that you linger in long. Better to just do better next time and up and make some tea.
"Welcome back, by the way." You say over your shoulder as you pour water into a kettle, puttering about to find a match to light the small bunsen-burner type device that you keep on one of the shelves for precisely this purpose. Spinning and leaning against the cabinets as the water heats, you fix Falke with a warm smile. Doctors make the worst patients, and other than her own workaholic tendencies, Falke is probably second to none when it comes to self-care at appropriate intervals.
"Finn and Dorian have both already been by. It sounds like all is going well out in the big wide world out there." Falke, who knows you better than most, is well aware of your fascination with the Outlanders. Given your name and who your parents are, it isn't any great surprise, but only your fellow colleague has been privy to your endless questions and musings that just seem to bubble out during the long stretches of silence during surgeries and the like.
