Coffee and Conversation

"Dammit, Harkness," said Kathy Swanson, "What's going on?"

They were in a quaint little cafe near the Plass, which Jack often used for their meetings. He grinned. "Why d'you think anything's going on?"

"You know too much and say too little."

He waved his hand. "Oh, you know. Secrets of time and space. Life, the universe and everything. I know the future. Do you want to know your ultimate fate?" He managed to look like Groucho Marx, leering. With his face, it was quite a feat, to look like Groucho.

"What's a Dalek?" she asked.

"Cheap at half the price."

Yay, Kathy Swanson fic - there should be much more of that, I reckon. I like how you've written them as meeting regularly; I can see Jack cultivating someone like Swanson.

I can see Jack cultivating someone like Swanson.

And vice versa.

Really, I'd love to see her again in the show. And I'd love to write more fic about her - she was one of my favourite incidental characters so far. She's worth it for the banter alone.

"Cheap at half the price."

I can just hear his tone of voice when he says that, too.

I love the way Jack talks.
