[Hotel-Basement-Residents and Ripley]

[Smudged with tears and messy, shaky pen writing]

Ripley, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry that I can't even begin to explain- I realized I'd forgotten to say that earlier, but God... if I had thought for one second that I could, but I was stupid and I didn't-

Sorry. Everyone. Just... I'm so sorry.

I can help with the shifts. Just let me know when. (Or send Ianto around with the coffee. That works too.)

[smithnjones]

Thank you so much.

Will let you know as soon as Ianto and I figure out the schedule.

Owen, if you could run the place for the next few days, I'd like you to. Marthat has other things to attend to.

I know, I know, it's a horrible prospect, isn't it? Running a med room. Nothing at all like I bet you want to be doing.

One of these days I will learn how to translate sarcasm irony to written text.

[smug_git]

You mean I should actually do something for which I've been trained? The horror!

[neverinportland]

I don't think we've met except for when I first came though, but I'd be more than happy to help with shifts and take a turn in the Medical Room if you need me to.

And, you know, if someone turns up pregnant, I'm here for that too. God forbid that actually happen, but I guess it's nice to know you have a specialist in your corner if it did.

[smithnjones]

That would be lovely, thank you.

Yes, I think the last thing we need right now is a pregnancy on our hands, but... it's good to know that'll be taken care of. Just in case. With this place... well, you never know.

It's a little late for apologies now, isn't it?

It's okay, at least someone gets to live.

You can borrow the truck. Can borrow me, too, if you think the Doctor's not going to do anything stupid while I'm gone. You know him better than I do.

[smithnjones]

I do, but still... he never ceases to surprise me.

I think we might be alright though for a few hours. As long as we're quick. Just don't let him know you've gone or he'll think that it's the perfect opportunity to do something stupid.
