Nancy was about to answer Elizabeth before Xander spoke first. She smiled, then laughed, shaking off some of the worry that had built up over the meeting.

[color=Brown]"There was a horrible fight over the color palette of the decorations. We really need to pick campus colors so we can settle thing stuff peacefully."[/color] She answered, perhaps a little too much of her contention for the square-eyed nurse coming into her voice. She didn't understand how someone she didn't even know the name of got to be such a pain in her neck. Nancy turned back to Elizabeth.

[color=Brown]"I'm fine. There's always one person you butt heads with, you know? Just putting up with mine."[/color] Nancy tried to laugh it off, but the laugh came out as mirthless and half-hearted. The truth was, that was only half of the story. Dr. Brennan had put her off far more than she had realized at first. Nancy could not talk about the doctors that way, though, especially not to patients. If she was the only nurse patients seemed to trust, like Joshua said, she would have to be very careful what she said to them. Anything said in passing could end up coming back to bite her in the ass.

[color=Brown]"But! My day is finally at an end, and I'm going back to my rooms to watch The Blues Brothers."[/color] Nancy wondered if there were cameras in the staff wing... there probably were. She was nervous to say anything, but these two she could actually see herself just wanting to spend time with.

What should she do? Invite them back and break very explicit rules? Grab a laptop and watch a movie in the rec room, where others would undoubtedly join and she would be in charge of while off of the clock? Invite herself into one of their rooms to watch it? She didn't want to be on anymore. She just wanted to relax and stop being a nurse for a couple of hours. She tried to go over what would be an acceptable route... and with her proposal for additional recreational activities, the second option would be the best. She hoped not many patients would wander in.

[color=Brown]"If you like, I can grab my laptop and we can watch the movie in the rec room. It's got two of the best Saturday Night Live actors in it. You might even be able to learn something from them, Xander."[/color] She added playfully.
