She was moving. It would almost feel as if she were floating if it weren't for the strong...something...holding her up.
Her head pounded and her hand tingled and she wondered why. But it only took her a moment for the events of the day to catch up to her. Groaning, she slowly opened her eyes, squinting against the bright light. Looking around, she immediately noticed the stranger from the Roald Dahl Plass was carrying her somewhere.
"Oi! What the bloody hell do you think you're doing? Where are you taking me, Captain?"
She paused her would be screaming monologue, a look of shock crossing her face. Captain? Where had that come from? Why had she called him that? She didn't know this guy...did she? Granted she vaguely recognized him from her dreams, but that could just be because she had passed him on the street or maybe interacted with him at the market at some point in time.
The pounding in her head was getting worse the longer she thought about this and, whether or not that was a good thing, it was about as pleasant getting shot -- if she knew what that felt like.
Closing her eyes, hoping to relieve the pressure in her head just a little, she said, "Well, are you gonna answer me or what?"

Walking down the hallways of her apartment complex Jack shifted his attention to the waking woman in his arms. Oh, wonderful.
"Oi! What the bloody hell do you think you're doing? Where are you taking me, Captain?"
"Oh good. You're awake. I was going to feel very wrong going through your purse for your keys," he said. Though of course he was particularly good at letting himself in to locked places, he thought it best to not do that with a knocked out woman with him. Talk of scandal.
By this point they had arrived at her door. "Well, are you gonna answer me or what?"
"We're at your apartment Ms. Sato. I wanted to make sure you got home alright after you fainted."

"Oh good. You're awake. I was going to feel very wrong going through your purse for your keys."
What? Why would he have to go through her purse for her keys? And that smell. Was that him? It was so familiar that she couldn't help but to relax in his arms for just a moment. Why was it so familiar?
An image flashed through her mind, but it couldn't be a memory. Could it? In her mind, she saw herself with a group of people in a flat, this man appearing from seemingly thin air. Impossible.
She tensed and grabbed at her head, pain exploding behind her eyes.
"We're at your apartment Ms. Sato. I wanted to make sure you got home alright after you fainted."
"What?" she asked, quickly and carefully jumping from his arms so she was standing in front of him. She placed a hand on his chest to keep him from moving forward.
"I don't know you and I never told you my name. How in the bloody hell do you know where I live?" she asked, her voice raising with each word.

Jack carefully let Tosh down as she practically climbed out of his arms. Well that was something he wasn't used to. His hands rested on her sides for a moment as he made sure she was balanced before letting go when she raised a hand to his chest.
"I don't know you and I never told you my name. How in the bloody hell do you know where I live?"
"Ah," he said, amusement passed over him. "Well. I did have to go into your purse earlier. Where your ID is. With your name on it. With that it wasn't too hard to look you up in the directory. I mean there aren't very many Toshiko Satos. Even in London," he added with a wink.

Then he winked at her. She rolled her eyes, hoping to put a stop to his flirting. She really wasn't in the mood.
"Well, maybe you should have just tossed water over my head to wake me up. I could have walked home on my own. Didn't think of that, did you?" she asked, turning around and all but stomping down the hallway towards her door.
"Thanks for this and all, but I've really got some things that need to be taken care of."

"Well, maybe you should have just tossed water over my head to wake me up. I could have walked home on my own. Didn't think of that, did you?"
Tosh then marched down the hallway towards her door.
"Well I did but the last time I did something like that to a woman I ended up getting slapped. I'd rather not repeat that experience so I thought better of it."
"Thanks for this and all, but I've really got some things that need to be taken care of."
Walking towards her door he leaned against the wall as she stood at her door.
"Now how responsible would it be of me to let you simply just go at this point. If you haven't noticed you don't seem quite right at the moment. I mean you passed out and you keep grabbing your head. How do I know that the second you go into your apartment you aren't going to collapse and hit your head on an end table or something."
Crossing his arms he looked up at the ceiling innocently.
"Besides, I think you owe me a cup of tea at the least for taking you home safely."
