Being entirely serious, Robert Drake. Giving you some life lessons as your elder and vistor from the future. Embrace the parts of the spectrum you've never explored before.
I know how to have a good time. I've been "around the block" as you Americans would say. So don't smirk at me.
[She'd be jabbing a finger at him if they were in the same room. Only playfully though, of course]
[ It's not exactly weird to him. He's from a time when they were still friends, when John didn't hesitate to help him. This angry, bitter John from the future; he's the stranger to Bobby.
Well, as close to doting as he gets. Suppose it's a bit more like "not being a total pillock" for once.
[she runs her fingers through her hair. It's not like she minds him that way. In fact, she prefers it. It's all the fun he is normally plus a little bit to lean against at the end of the day.]

[A sigh. 21st century boys. They were just so... stuck.]
But you're just so... 21st century. But don't worry. I'll sort you out.

[She grins devilishly for a second before pausing.]
Talked to John lately?
no subject
It can't be, right? After all, she likes him. She wouldn't... ]
Yeah, why?
no subject
Sort of... doting.

It did freak him out. [ Understandably. He can't imagine how that felt. ]
no subject
It sounds nasty.
[Okay, it's clear she cares about him.]
