Open RP: In the Great Hall

     It had been a while since Owen made himself publicly noticeable and perhaps that is because of recent events or maybe he just did not want to be seen. Either way, the doctor is now in the Great Hall. He was sitting at the Slytherin table, with a plate of food and taking some notes over a nice snack.
     He glanced around and then sighed. He scribbled down a bit more and then chewed on his quill. This homework was so hard. He finally just threw down his quill and poured himself another drink. He took a long gulp and then sighed with relief. Someone entered and was paid a curt glance and then he looked back at the book. He moved to close it and then stood up, stretching.

Comments

"I was going to send the pterodactyl to hunt you down." Jack looked slightly nervous which was something of a rarity for him, but given that it was the great hall and there were chances of coming across a certain person there that awkward mornings after were looking like they might be a recurring theme... it was allowed. Or so he thought.

"What or who have you been up to?" Still Jack though, with his comments.

[docowenharper.livejournal.com]

He eyed the familiar face for a moment trying to decide whether the hunting would have been good or bad. Owen refilled his cup with coffee and took a sip this time.

"Well, we both know that is privileged information."

He pointed at Jack.

"Miss me, then?"

"Aww, now not even for your boss!" He pulled his best kicked puppy look in disappointment of not being able to know.

"Yes, strangely enough I have. I've had no-one to torment on a daily basis and the dogs and the pterodactyl don't give the right evils back and the conversation isn't as witty." He laughed.

"Not even for my boss."

Owen eyed Jack, and then the eyes narrowed a bit. He couldn't help but snicker a bit at the comment about the dogs and the pterodactyl.

"It would be torment, wouldn't it? Well, at least there was some sort of compliment hidden in there. Else you might have scared me away."

[twoyearsmissing.livejournal.com]

"Worth a try." He shrugged.

"I never really thought of me as scary, incredibly sexy and modest yes. Scary..." He reasoned with a smirk, this was what he missed. "It wasn't hidden, it was obvious or did you just want me to come right out and say it?" His look then was devious.

"That I love you and have missed you very much." He said it loudly just in the small doubt that anyone close by could possibly miss him saying it. The words of course were accompanied by a very appropriate (or inappropriate) look.

Owen almost visibly facepalmed and then just smiled.

"I've missed you too."

He said his quietly as if they hadn't already attracted enough attention from the other students. He returned the appropriate *cough* look with a coy one.

Owen may find Jack a little closer than before, this would be the problem with encouraging him. Like feeding a stray, Jack would follow you home.

"Been missing everyone else too, they're all snack food. Tosh, Gwen, my Doc, Rose even Suzie."

[docowenharper.livejournal.com]

"Snack food?"

It took Owen a moment to remember and then he sighed.

"So...it's just you and me then?"

It would be hard to suppress the shudder that came across Owen's body at that moment but he played it off a bit.

"How's...JD wasn't it?"

[twoyearsmissing.livejournal.com]

He nodded slowly. "Just us, and Diane if she's about still."

If there was something to make Jack move quickly away then it was the mention of JD, he moved away from Owen just as subtly as he'd got closer. "I've not seen him in months." He looked around him. "I may have not exactly been alone a couple of times recently..." Why he was actually admitting this to Owen was a mystery to him, but he needed to tell someone and Owen he trusted enough.

Owen noticed the rapid movements. He was used to this from various people. Except when he used the pheromone spray. Owen himself moved closer...maybe not quite so subtle as Jack but he was there.

"I..I'm sorry."

[twoyearsmissing.livejournal.com]

Jack blinked and looked at Owen, really looked at him. "It's my own fault Owen. I can't stand being alone." Even back in the Hub he'd never really been left alone truly there was Ianto for company, that became sort of a comfort to fall back to, someone there when needed. Though it had worked both ways.

[docowenharper.livejournal.com]

Owen bit his lower lip and thought for a moment.

"D'you think I really would have taken the pheromone spray if I could be alone?"

He gulped a bit. He decided to take a leap of faith.

"In all honesty, it became worse after Diane originally left. I couldn't stand to be alone no matter how much I told myself it was just physical. Everyone thinks that's all I'm in it for..."

[twoyearsmissing.livejournal.com]

Jack without hesitation pulled Owen to him, hugging him tightly.

"Stop talking." He understood, he did.

[docowenharper.livejournal.com]

Owen wasn't sure whether he was startled or what, but in the end, he returned the embrace. He closed his eyes and breathed in deeply. Whether one could say that a tear escaped his eyes would be unknown to all but him and Jack. He sighed.

"I did miss this place, Jack. I really did. There was just so much to process."
