[on the hospital roof]

[inthemoodnow]

[If you happen to be on or near the hospital roof tonight, you'll find one captain up there by himself, looking thoughtful as his greatcoat flaps gently in the breeze. If you're observant, you might catch him taking a drink from a flask every now and then. You might also hear some music wafting faintly through the air nearbyIn any case, he's good

*Music at night? What is this nonsense :| Storming up the stairs to the roof*

[inthemoodnow]

*STANDING ALONE ON THE ROOF, STARING OFF INTO THE DISTANCE*

[moralfixation]

*Huffs and heads over, getting in his space*

Sir? Excuse me, sir! This is a hospital and it is night time. Please be more considerate of possible patients and turn the music off so as not to wake them. Rest is an important part of recovery, afterall!

*looks down at him -- not put out but also not about to move*

None of it is going through the hospital, only to the roof. If I hear anything from any of the doctors, I'll turn it down. But truth be told, Ella does the body good.

[moralfixation]

Ella who?

[inthemoodnow]

Ella Fitzgerald. That lady you hear singing right now. Kids these days...

*but the last is said teasingly, without any actual annoyance*

[moralfixation]

Excuse me for being just a kid then! As an adult though, shouldn't you know better than to hang out here on the roof in the cold? You'll get sick like this. Really now.

*chuckles*

After all of that time in Cardiff, it takes more of a chill than this to get me down.

What's your name, kid?

[moralfixation]

*Bristles*

My name is Meguro Gau and you may stop calling me "kid" now, thank you.

[inthemoodnow]

Now that I know your name, I will. I'm Captain Jack Harkness, Meguro-kun.

*holds out his hand to him*

[moralfixation]

*Eyesssss it before taking it and giving it a small shake*

Hello then. ....captain of what, exactly?

[inthemoodnow]

Originally as part of the Royal Air Force, though it's become more of a title than a rank over the years.

[moralfixation]

So you're not a captain anymore? Mr. Harkness it is then.

[inthemoodnow]

*...you're so annoying, it's almost cute.*

I never said I was "a captain." I'm Captain Jack Harkness. There's a different. But either way, whichever makes you less confused.

[moralfixation]

I'm not confused, you're just unclear.

It's a nickname then. The story behind which I'm unfamiliar with. I can't very well call you by a nickname when we've just met. "Mr.Harkness" will work just fine, thank you.

[inthemoodnow]

It's a name. I don't know that you're old enough for me to share the nicknames with you.
