Rory and Manuel and then Rory and Moira

[x-mactaggart.livejournal.com]

Manuel and Rory run into each other as Manny and Amanda arrive on Muir. Rory's still upset about Moira and coupled with Manuel's fear of Rory from the dream, things don't go smoothly. Moira comes out and rescues Manuel and then turns on the other doctor and gets somethings across to him.

Moira and Nathan, Muir Island, Friday early afternoon

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Backdated to Friday around lunch. Before Amanda and Manuel arrive on Muir, Nathan and Moira share a quiet moment. She tells him a little about the psychiatrist she has in mind for him to see, and they reminisce about that first Christmas of theirs and certain lost opportunities beneath the mistletoe.

Muir Island, Friday afternoon/evening - Nathan and Amanda, Nathan and Manuel

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Friday afternoon. After she and Manuel arrive on Muir, Nathan steals Amanda away to show her some of the island. They have a fairly relaxed conversation about some fairly serious subjects (making time to deal with the problems that need solving, finding a place you can call home, and Manuel).

Later, Nathan does the host-like thing and sits out watching the sunset with Manuel and a bottle of Scotch. The two of them have perhaps the most friendly conversation they've ever managed. (Gotta be the Scotch.) Manuel talks a little about his childhood, his worries about going back to Spain, and how much fun he and Amanda have been having thus far on their vacation. The subject of Rory and his presence in one of Manuel's dreams of the future is touched upon, and Manuel proves he can be extremely perceptive at times when he picks up on a certain happy something that happened between Nathan and Moira on Santorini.

Moira and Amanda on Muir

When Amanda gets lost in the castle, she stumbles upon some old pictures of Moira looking rather different than what she had in mind. Moira finds her and they talk about her past, relationship, dresses and vacations.
