Learning to Live

Chapter 70

"must we?" she complained as the Doctor tugged her towards a bus

"yes! It'll be fun, enjoy the little things in life Sweetheart" he lectured his free hand holding a half-eaten chocolate egg, they had just travelled from the New York Easter parade.

"I think that's in reference to jewels, not a bus" Morgana retorted

"Have you never been on a bus before?" he asked her

"of course, I haven't, a Mikaelson on a bus, how humiliating, if this gets out I'll never live it down" she sniffed as they jumped onto the bus just in time

"You're just in time, mate," the Driver said, and Morgana reached out pressing the psychic card against the oyster port, and the doors closed, the bus moving off. They moved forward and the Doctor chose a seat next to a brunette who was looking around shiftily, he pulled Morgana onto his lap and offered the woman a piece of his chocolate egg

"Hello, I'm the Doctor, this is my Morgana. Happy Easter." He greeted cheerily before he started babbling

"The funny thing is, I don't often do Easter and well Morgana is a pagan and pagan ritual and festivals can be so much more fun anyways I can never find it. It's always at a different time. Although we remember the original Morgana actually managed to find it I was shocked but she's just that brilliant, between you and us, what really happened was-" one of his gizmos started beeping and Morgana reached into his endless pocket and pulled it out, he fumbled with the chocolate egg before shoving it into the woman's hands

"thank you, sweetheart, Oh. Sorry, hold on to that for me. Actually, go on, have it. Finish it. It's full of sugar and I'm determined to keep these teeth- Morgana likes them" he mumbled

She huffed and rolled her eyes "you shouldn't have the sugar because you get hyper and your natural state is hyper enough" and he beamed at her

"Ah. Oh, we've got excitation. I'm picking up something very strange." He told them excitedly

"I know the feeling." The woman said

"Rhondium particles, that's what I'm looking for. This thing detects them. Look, this should to round, that little dish there." He pointed it out to the woman noticing Morgana's attention was diverted, he pouted a little

"Right now, a way out would come in pretty handy. Can you detect me one of those?" the woman said,

"why are you being chased?" Morgana asked absently as her attention was taken by a west Indian couple who were sitting a while away, she easily eavesdropped on their conversation

"Lou, can you hear them?" the woman asked her husband

"Hear what, sweetheart?" Lou asked gently and Morgana smiled softly at the endearment

"The voices. So many voices calling to us. Calling so far." The woman replied her voice distant; Morgana scratched the back of Dearest's neck and his eyes flicked up to her face, she tilted her head in their direction and he hummed in understanding. They'd been together so long that they didn't need to use words all the time.

"Ah, the little dish is going round." the Doctor said pleased his attention diverted

"Fascinating." The woman drawled as she looked out the window

"And round. Whoa." He cried and she snickered as his gizmo fritzed and the blonde in front had to brush some speaks off her hair

"Excuse me. Do you mind?" she asked
