Do You Remember When / We Used to Sing?

Estelle O’Connor, it could be reasonably surmised, was in rather a good mood.

Either that, or she was suffering from some sort of fit of temporary insanity. It could be hard to tell sometimes, in Atlantis.

Van Morrison was blaring out of her laptop, and Tell seemed to be trying to compete with him for volume as she sang along loudly.

“Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow?
Going down the old mine
With a transistor radio…”

She tapped a couple of keys on the console before her in time with the music, then leaned back to consider the Ancient lettering that appeared on the screen. Satisfied, she pushed off the edge of the console, sending her chair and Tell in it rolling across the lab back to her laptop. (Okay, now, really. Who gave her the spinny chair?)

“Standing in the sunlight laughing,
Hiding ‘hind a rainbow’s wall,
Slipping and sliding
All along the waterfall, with you
My brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.”

So, yeah: Good mood. Either that, or space madness. Be careful; she could be contagious.
