originally, i posted this over in nfic, but was kindly encouraged to post it here. i'd been thinking, as i wrote, that it had more of an nfic mood to it, but, as has been pointed out, content-wise, it's rather tame.
as i said there, this is just a small scene that all but wrote itself. once written, of course, it had to be posted.
all thoughts, comments. suggestions, constructive criticism, etc are, as always, quite welcome.
