Title: Relics

Characters: Professor Yana.
Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 213: Watch at dw100.
Spoilers: Utopia.
Summary: The watch is old and broken, yet Professor Yana keeps it anyway.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who, or the characters.





The watch has always been with Professor Yana; it was with him when he was found as a child, and even after all these years he’s held onto it, though he can’t say why. It’s old, broken, completely useless, and yet, it’s all he has from before…


He’s never bothered to open it; why would he? There would be no point since it doesn’t work. It’s a keepsake, an ornament, nothing more. Well, perhaps a talisman or good luck charm, something of that nature. The case is attractive though.


They suit each other, two old relics whose time is past.

That must have been scary.

I remember the thief from my flat tried to come back a second time by knocking on the front door. When he realised my mum was home, he bolted.

They put a cover over the peep hole of our front door so my mum couldn't identify him through it. Which was unfortunate but I'm glad he was a scaredy cat and not someone dangerous. We moved house shortly afterwards.

Some burglars are so bold, nothing scares them. It's always worrying to think someone like that might break in.

Or that they could have been watching us beforehand.

[bk_forever]

That too. @_@

Sorry, what does @_@ mean?

Scared?

Something like that, big staring eyes, a look of horror. The emoji version of my icon.

Okay.

On a lighter note, your userpic reminds me of Beaker from The Muppets. It's the expression I guess.

I call it Jack's "I think I just sat on a hedgehog" look *grins*

He does look like Beaker in it though, I never realised that before!

Ouch!:D

It's the eyes.:)

[bk_forever]

Exactly! *grins*

Yes, the wide-eyed look.
