[At the same time as this. Both Diana and Steve receive a map pinpointing the location of the Doctor, a set of codes to disable the power in the lab, and the following message.]
Please go pick up the most unwilling of patients. His Name is the Doctor.
If you want full time, we have regular training sessions and take care of any disputes. If you want on the back up team, you still need to come in for the occasional training session, but you're only required for assistance in emergencies.
Well I'm already a teacher, I don't know if I could still take care of the children and act as a deputy full time. But I will be there in a crisis when I'm needed.
Give me about twenty minutes, I'm just wrapping up a class. [She'll need to clean up and change out of her armor for a talk like this. Maybe swing by the saloon for a bottle of wine as well.
[And Diana finds the best bakery in New Dodge for a dessert to bring before leaving school in time to shower and change into something a little nicer for her dinner with Mick.
Right on time she knocks, a chocolate cake hidden under a plastic dome in her hands.]
[Mick for his part cleaned up as well. He's showered, wearing clean jeans and a clean grey henley free of holes and stains. He's wearing boots still but his gloves are missing and he has a little white apron around his waist with a few smudges on it, proof that he's been cooking what smells like lasagna.]
Hi. Come on in. [He's a little stiff and a little shy oddly enough. He's outside his comfort zone in entertaining a woman for a date. But he's trying. He shuts the door behind her.]
Hi. [And she raises up to kiss his cheek lightly as he lets her inside. The cake is set on the table and she turns to smile at him. This is new territory for them both, but she believes it's worth it. Mick is worth it.] Thank you. So do you.
[A little dusting of pink colors his cheeks when she kisses his cheek and then he has to clear his throat and shut the door before walking with her into his yurt.]
