"We had fun on the eye. Partly because Jaye and Rory were buzzed and amusing. I'm sorry you got stuck doing Embassy crap, though." Parker made a face. "Do you guys *ever* get free of the Mountain? 'Cause I swear, it seems like you still work out of there. We're just a branch office in Fandom." She smiled at the waiter, ordered a burger, fries, and shake, then said, "Well, the Eye, Bond Street, Camden Market. That was fun, Angela and Marty found a great Indian place, and a bunch of us ate there. I did get to see Big Ben this morning, and oh! I forgot! I saw Six, remember him, he left back at the end of last semester? I saw him crossing the street there, but he got in a cab before I could catch up to him."

Zero followed them in, refusing to look at the (censored, of course) photo of her mother sans shirt on the wall. "S'good to know Six is doin' well."

"Hey, Zero, have a seat. Is that your mom on the wall?" Parker couldn't help but grin.

Zero made a sound that might have been 'yes' and might have been 'I hate you' as she plopped down into a seat.

"Excuse me," one of the waiters said as he walked up. "Has anyone ever told you you look just like Nikki Savage? Oh, erm, I'm Tad." Tad had blue hair and an eyebrow ring.

"It's been said, yeah," Zero told him. "I'd like a Diet Coke?"

"Jaye and Rory buzzed are always amusing," Elizabeth grinned. "I ran into Jaye in that wizarding joke shop, and now I truly know fear." She smiledup at the waiter and ordered chicken fajitas and a milkshake and waited for him to leave the area before sighing. "Tell me about it. I try not to complain too much, because they're paying for my eduction and my costs, so they use that against me when they want me to do something for them." She grinned slighly evilly. "They've yet to notice the correlation in a sudden rise in my costs whenever they ask me to do something. Oh! Yes, I remember him. I never realized that he was from London. It's amazing the co-incidences you can get!"

Parker snickered at Liz's subverting of her former employer's demands, then waved as Zero joined them. "Ask Zero about her dad. He's the cute one in the picture in the foyer, Dirk Savage. Hey, do you want to go to Stonehenge (http://community.livejournal.com/fh_trips/7754.html?thread=811082#t811082) with us after lunch? Rory's supposed to me us at the bus."

"Hey, Zero," Elizabeth waved. "Parker said I'm supposed to ask about your dad!"

Elizabeth checked her watch, and looked thoughtful. "I'd love to, but I'm not sure if I have time considering all the shopping (http://community.livejournal.com/fh_trips/7457.html?thread=785953#t785953) I'm, uh, not planning on doing. But will probably end up doing anyway."

"No problem. Consider yourself welcome, though." Parker yawned and stretched out in the booth a bit. "God, first thing tomorrow? Sleeping in. Maybe I'll drive up to Blue Cove on Friday, though."

"Thanks. I'll see how long we take to eat here, and go from there I think," Elizabeth nodded. She grinned. "Oh, yeah. Even if it is a dorm bed, it's my bed now and as nice as hotels can be, it's always good to sleep in somewhere you know. And I think I'm going to stay in Fandom for the rest of the break. Although who knows how long that declaration's going to last!"

"Mmm. I'm just glad that we get back with four more days to kill before classes. Even if it *doesn't* have room service or maid service, it'll be nice to see Esme again." She blinked, tired. "I think there's a trip to Baltimore planned for tomorrow. I don't think I'll be going on that."

Elizabeth nodded. "There's only so much maid service a person can take," she said with feeling. "I don't think I'll be there either. Talk about overkill!"

"What about Da?" Zero asked. "Has Parker been tellin' you tales?"

Parker giggled as Tad told Zero she looked like Nikki Savage, then took a sip of her shake when it arrived. "I think it's more for those who couldn't on this trip, but yeah. I'll tell Isabel good luck on that. God, I'm never helping organize one of these things again. Kill me if I say I will. As fun as it was, next time I'm just going to Cancun by myself."

"She's not told me anything," Elizabeth assured Zero. "Only that's his picture out front.

"Killing you's a bit extreme? I could just tie you to the chair instead?" Elizabeth suggested lightly. "Ooh, Cancun. That's a place I've not been to yet."

"Oh, then that's it. Cancun with all the other stupid students. You can revel in the immaturity, and I can find a Pablo and an Alejandro to play with." Parker smirked. "And we'll everyone else who isn't a Library Aide or from the Second Floor behind. They can buy their own tickets."

"Yeah, there's one of Da an' one of Mum, but, um. Yeah. I want a burger."

Elizabeth laughed, reaching for her own drink. "It doesn't necessarily have to be a school event, you know, Parker," she said.

"Even better. We can use the corporate hideaway, and only my friends will come," Parker decided. "And only my female friends, at that. The guys can sleep on the beach."

"That sounds like a great idea to me," Elizabeth nodded.

[[ooc: Sorry for disappearing - dinner. Which was, freakily, chicken fajitas...]]
