Challenge #96: Tea - 'Elegant Slumming'

[beedekka]

Hello there, I’m also new :o)

Title: Elegant Slumming
Word Count: (100)
Rating: Gen
Challenge: #96 - Tea
Characters/Pairing: James Lester
Warnings: None
Authors Notes: When Lester’s secretary is off on a course, he has to venture into the communal kitchen himself for a change



Lester sighed. What was the point in having a heavily staffed department underneath you, if you still had to make your own tea?

Waiting for the kettle to boil, he leant against the cupboards and surveyed the mismatched collection of mugs on the draining board.

The one with ‘I’m T.rexcellent!’ and a picture of a creature with its jaws open fiercely wide was positioned disconcertingly close to a mug with some winsomely fluffy kittens on it...

The next one along made him smile, though: ‘World’s Greatest Lover’. He didn’t know whose it was, but he was about to borrow it.

Lol brilliant.

He probably wouldn't touch Stephen's Spice Girls' mug with a ten foot pole though :D

LOL, love it! He can sit back and wait to see who volunteers to test out the claim *vbg*.

How true about mugs in communal kitchens. A well observed drabble.

And Hey! Hello!

But he made a good choice... ;) Great drabble!

I'm betting it's Helen's mug.

ps: excellent work!

The first line is so utterly Lester :-) I like the idea of him checking out the mugs and being secretly amused. Nice drabble.
