Room 401, London whatever the hell the hotel name is. . . . LANDMARK! That's it.

Nadia was getting ready for bed, and considering the sleeping pills Dr. Troy had given her. He'd said to take half first, but hte package said not to break the pills.

Well, a whole one couldn't hurt, could it?

She poured herself a glass of water and prepared to take the pill.

He couldn't sleep. It was just too much. This place was supposed to be filled with soldiers. There was a war going on outside, and he should be back at Hellsing.

None of which was true for London 2006.

Nadia had mentioned getting sleeping pills from Dr. Not-Bel (Christian, yes, he remembered that, but Not-Bel had stuck in his head.) Hopefully she'd have mercy on him and help him get his jet lag in hand.

Walter coming over to her room? Yeah, she was in no way going to let that get to her head.

Except that she's, you know, fifteen, so it already has.

"Walter."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Nadia," Walter looked around and grinned at the signs of multiple girls in a single room. "I was hoping you could help me out."

[nadiathesaint]

Oh yeah I could. . . . Nadia bit down on that reaction and nodded. "What do you need?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Thankfully, Walter was not a mindreader. "You mentioned that the doctor at the clinic gave you some sleeping pills. Do you think that I could have one? I'm having some trouble sleeping tonight."

[nadiathesaint]

I could help you sleep, Nadia nodded again. "Sure." She popped one of the pills out of the packet and passed it to Walter.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Thanks." Walter caught the pill and dry-swallowed it. "How are you enjoying London so far?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia shrugged. "It's nice. It must be very different for you."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"It is." He shrugged and leaned against the wall next to the door. "It makes me feel like I'm hallucinating. Things are the same, but they really aren't. Even this hotel."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia nodded slightly as she popped her own pill and drank her water. "But now you know it ends okay, right? The war, I mean."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Yes, but it's not just the war. Imagine going back to Argentina right now, and everything is sixty years advanced from what you know. So things will look the same, but be different at the same time."

He shook his head and stood up. "It doesn't really matter. I'm just tired. Everything will make more sense tomorrow."

[nadiathesaint]

"It will," Nadia said, though she wasn't sure it was true. She'd had her whole world turned upside down before, and it took more than a good night's sleep to fix it, usually. "And maybe you can show us a little bit of what you remember about London." She smiled slightly, perhaps a little sadly. "Say goodnight to Victor, for me."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I will. Thanks again, Nadia." Walter smiled and left, closing the door quietly behind himself.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia let out a sigh. It did her no good to keep pining after Walter; he'd never see her as date material.

She yawned.

At least she'd be getting a good night's sleep. And she was in England. That counted for something.

She curled up into her bed and soon fell asleep.
