Oh the joy of modern communication! All packaged up in a little story. Because Connor is a funny ole' character to write. ;-)
Disclaimer: I don't own Primeval. I was too busy eating chocolate when someone else had the idea.
Lester stared at the piece of paper in his hand in blank disbelief. He then looked up and critically eyed the young man in front of him, who was smiling back as if there was nothing wrong. He returned to staring at the piece of paper with a fresher mind that was beginning to realise the truth.
"Connor Temple?"
"Yep," grinned Connor, though he a little confused y the reaction of his... new employer he supposed.
"You have very few prospects outsides this line. The Professor says you aren't the... most dedicated student and have some pretty... wild ideas..." Lester paused as he wondered how to proceed. He was used to dealing with highly professional career people; he had never encountered a... Connor before. "This isn't a joke, is it."
Connor frowned at the statement. Reaching out, he grabbed the scrap of paper he'd torn out the back page of a book he'd had on him. Checking every letter carefully, the smile returned and the paper was returned, unchanged.
"Nope. It's correct. It's a mixture of..."
"I'm not sure I entirely care," mused Lester, relooking at the scribble. "The Professor had better be right about you." Lester folded the scrap with one hand and slipped it into his address book in order to save it to his computer later.
"So, you'll contact me then?" Connor beamed, starting to bounce slightly as if this conversation was no longer active enough to engage his muscles.
"When the occasion arises, I shall, of course, email you at..." Lester took a deep breath in. "AlienConTemDinoExp. Well, I suppose no-one else has an account of that name."
Connor continued smiling, eyes lit up. "Great!" he exclaimed. "I originally only set up the email account so the aliens would be able to contact me when they landed."
Before Lester had a chance to reply, Connor bounced off down the corridor.
Please review. :-)
