 Yeahhh, Mr White! Yeah science!
Nathan was relieved to exit the claustrophobic confines of the telephone box and enter the cool, oxygen filled atrium. The air in the telephone box and become strangely thin and hot and he seemed to momentarily forget how to breathe properly. His heart had returned to it’s regular pace as he had turned and smiled at Egypt. “Good.” he replied, trying to sound calm and collected. “Can be a bit of a bumpy ride at times.”
Egypt seemed taken aback when he had offered her that book – it was nothing to him. He barely looked at it these days and it was old and dog eared from being very well thumbed by Nathan. “I’ll bring that book into work for you. It’s very useful. Was a life saver to me when I started to visit the muggle world on a regular basis.” He could remember the feeling of utter uselessness and stupidity he had experienced back then like it was yesterday. At least this book would ease this a bit for Egypt. Plus, it was a very good excuse to see her again. “Send me an owl when you know what department you’ll be working for and I’ll drop it off.”
He glanced casually at the bustle in the atrium and looked at his watch – he was unbelievably late now, but didn’t let either of these things affect his usual outwardly laid back demeanour – often inside, however, this was a completely different story. “Care to take a stroll to the cafeteria?” he asked her. “Or will your sisters worry you’ve been gone too long?” Nathan really needed a strong coffee before he headed back to the office. Plus, he was so late now that another twenty minutes couldn’t hurt – if you’re going to be late, you may as well be late in style.
