Milliways Office: Havelock-Andrew

Havelock slips up to the office with remarkable discretion, considering he has to cross the crowded bar to do so. The illogical Milliways shadows help, but mostly it's a matter of thinking yourself unnoticeable - which, in Havelock's opinion, he could always use some work on.

He hesitates, then knocks on the door to see if anyone is in there. He doesn't exactly want to post a note on the notice board, and delivering a letter through Bar does have the down side that whoever receives it will probably read it out in the open.

He could slip a note underneath, he supposes... but really, if possible, better not.

It takes him a moment to see the man waiting for him; he spots him only a split second before he speaks. The strategic placement isn't lost on him.

"Yeah," he answers, "that's me. Baby said you wanted to speak to me, Mr. ...?"
stilljustandrew: (blue lit)

Andrew shakes his head at the apology. "Nothing to apologize for. It's a matter of some interest to me."

Beat. His gaze sharpens a touch.

"Puck told you?" There may be the tiniest emphasis on the word told.
stilljustandrew: (pensive)

A long beat.

"Perhaps." He's studying Havelock's face. "We're secure here, if you're concerned about being overheard. Or do his restrictions in some measure apply to you...?"
stilljustandrew: (yeah um about that...)

[personal profile] stilljustandrew 2010-03-12 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Andrew nods. "He implied to me that it's his own sworn word that binds him not to speak of it. Um ..." Rueful. "At least I think he did."
stilljustandrew: (hmmm)

[personal profile] stilljustandrew 2010-03-12 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
He sucks in a breath, not sharply but thoughtfully.

"Could be. Do you get the feeling there's a particular thing he knows that he can't tell?"

Andrew's head comes up.

"We've met a few times," he says.

A touch guardedly, remembering Puck's involvement in one of those times.
stilljustandrew: (neutral)

"What details? Did she say?"

Andrew knows that getting details out of River Tam is a chancy prospect at best.
stilljustandrew: (hmmm)

[personal profile] stilljustandrew 2010-03-12 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
"Huh." He contemplates that for a moment. "How likely is it he could be doing so without you seeing it?"
stilljustandrew: (yeah um about that...)

[personal profile] stilljustandrew 2010-03-12 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Andrew chews his lower lip.

"If thought's a loophole," he says slowly, "maybe ..."

A frustrated headshake. "I need terms."
stilljustandrew: (hmmm)

[personal profile] stilljustandrew 2010-03-12 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
"I dunno," he says thoughtfully, "she's gone up against vampires before..."

(At least once, in his world.)

Beat.

"But hang on, though, what if we just got Puck to stay in one place long enough for River to read him again?"
stilljustandrew: (hey wait)

[personal profile] stilljustandrew 2010-03-12 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
"Would his oath compel him to move if he knew what we were doing?"

Andrew frowns. "Maybe not. 'Word or deed,' you said, and that doesn't cover allowing through inaction, thank you Isaac Asimov."
stilljustandrew: (hmmm)

[personal profile] stilljustandrew 2010-03-12 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
"Okay," he says. "So there's that in our favor. And ..."

He nibbles absently at the edge of one finger. "There's two things going on here," he says finally. "Stopping the vampire and getting Puck free of it. Those might have one combined solution, but they might not."
stilljustandrew: (serious 1)

[personal profile] stilljustandrew 2010-03-12 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
"Good," says Andrew firmly, and reaches for the envelope. "I'll see to it that it gets circulated."
