Signing off another patient Alex glanced at his watch and had never been more glad to realise it was his break; it was safe to say the wizarding population seemed to have gone a little spell-happy over the last few days and the influx of people in their department had meant far too many patients for far too few staff to deal with. Mostly it had just resulted in Alex being run off his feet as he tried to sort everyone out so they didn't completely embarass him and his department, if there was one thing he wouldn't stand for it was slacking off when you needed to pull together as a team. It had worked, the rush had seemingly reached a lull and now Alex could finally take a break without feeling guilty about doing so.
"I'll be back in 20," he called out to the deputy on the main desk of the department as he shoved some of the files back into the cabinet there and then turned on his heel and headed off to one of the break rooms. He entered the room with one sole purpose... coffee, stat! Heading over to the kitchen area it wasn't until he'd made himself a steaming mug of coffee that he realised there was actually someone else there; he wasn't usually so dense or ignorant, he blamed it on not enough caffeine intake thus far. Smiling a hello at Nikki Alexander as he stirred his coffee he then grabbed it and approached her, he could sense from her body language that she needed to tell someone something.
As he walked closer, Alex's eyes narrowed in a dramatically suspicious manner, observing then that almost frantic, tell-tale 'omg I need to gossip with someone' look in Nikki's expression. "Alright Alexander, come on, spill..." Alex said authoratatively as he sat down on the chair next to hers, leaning forward momentarily to rest his cup of coffee on the table in between them both before he sat back in the chair, with an 'ahh' of relief to finally catch a break, and looked over at her expectantly as he waited for her to, indeed, 'spill'.
((ooc: Hope Alex is cool?))

"Find Mark Bennett, he's tall and good looking...he'll be showing you around this week. Tell him I sent you and remember, night out for you newbies tonight with me...tell Bennett he's ordered to attend!" Rose called out to her latest new start who she was supposed to be mentoring but had decided to offload on to Mark on the account this newbie was attractive & single & she owed Mark a favour or two.
Noticing Alex heading to the break room, Rose scooped up her pile of charts and hurried after him, bursting into the room with the force of a small hurricane.
"Binns! CAFFEINE! STAT!" she shouted at him with an angry tone before smiling widely at her superior and plonking herself down into one of the seats, dumping the charts next to her on the table.
"Gossiping? Really Alex, you should know better at your age." she tutted and shook her head before smirking, "What age is that again? 94? 95?" she shrugged before laughing, clapping her hands together, "Come on old man, coffee. Sometime today, thank you!" she rolled her eyes at Nikki as if to say 'The service here is terrible'.
"Anyone hear my secret yet? Its a good one!" she nodded her head, almost giddy with excitement as she thought about her little 'secret'.
(ooc. Hope you dont mind Rose as well!)

(ooc: Radhika has a sixth sense for gossip, of course she would be there almost immediately!)
"Helloooo my children!" Radhika sang out as she pushed the door to the break room open with her hip, fully embracing her unofficial 'Team Mum' role in the hospital. She was a bit stressed out at the moment: she was giving a presentation that afternoon, she'd had an interaction with Jai's dad the night before (never fun), and her current patient was a total prick who had made around fifty sexist, racist, creepy or otherwise horrible comments in the past hour alone, leaving her seriously considering whether it was worth losing her job to slap a 102-year-old poisoning victim clean across the face. Radhika desperately needed her girls to gossip and distract her, or an Alex to dump her problems on, and was pleasantly surprised to find both. Plus coffee and bagels!
Pouring herself a cup of coffee, she looked up expectantly while bouncing lightly on her toes -- it was her standard procedure to gather gossip first and file it all away, before submitting her full report on every single scandalous happening to come out of every corner of the hospital.

Alex's eyebrows raised and he let out a dry laugh, "Don't give me that, Alexander, I know when you have gossip to spill, you're insulting my intelligence if you think I'll give up that easily," he pointed out jokingly as he fixed her with his best stern 'I'm the boss' look that he often used on interns who'd done something wrong but didn't dare tell him. It worked it would seem... either that or Nikki's natural love for sharing gossip won by a long shot. "Michael Tancredi eh?" he asked and then shook his head, "As soon as I leave this room I'm going to pretend I didn't hear he's been bedding interns and Healers otherwise I might have to have a word with him about it. While I am still in this room however I want details, come on," he grinned at her playfully as he picked up his coffee and was just about to take a well-earned sip when suddenly the door burst open and Rose practically launched herself into the room.
"What?" he said with a deep frown as Rose proceeded to first order him to bring her coffee, then had a sly dig at his age, then both within one utterance. "It's 93, actually, if you must know," he retorted in a faux-snappy tone and then, with an overly dramatic sigh, he placed his cup back down on the table and made a show of heaving himself up out of the chair as if it took a huge effort on his part. He could only manage a huffy act for mere seconds though before he smiled once more in amusement and crossed to the kitchen area to make Rose some coffee. Quickly doing so he headed back over to her and, with an exaggerated flourish, he bowed to her, "Your majesty," he teased as he handed her the cup and then plonked himself back down in the chair beside hers. "You two are as bad as each other when it comes to gossip, you know that? The only way the gossip could increase is if Rad-" the rest of his sentence trailed off as the woman he was halfway through mentioning burst through the door. "Now that is freaky, do you have a sixth sense for gossip?" Alex asked Radhika with a wondrous expression as he shook his head; that really was just plain spooky. Then, turning back to Rose he looked inquisitively at her for a moment before, "I'm not sure... do I want to know your secret?" he asked with a teasing smile.

Rose narrowed her eyes at Nikki and tried to guess if the girl already knew her news or if she was referring to Tancredi's miracle switcheroo from nice boy to stud.
"You know about Tancredi, right? My goss is about me, straight from the horses mouth!" she pointed to her own mouth before smiling sweetly at Alex as he brought her the coffee she had demanded.
"I thank you" she nodded her head as she took the cup, taking a sip from it before sighing loudly, "Bliiiiii-iiiisss!" she exclaimed, she hadnt slept much the night before thanks to treating her brother to a night out with all of her female friends as he'd just split up with his girlfriend of 4 minutes as Rose had teased.
Waving hello at Radhika, Rose patted the seat next to her "Come sit my delicious piece of wonderment, I have news that will make you scream 'say what?!' in an excited tone, gather round kids and old man, gather round" she made gathering movements with her hands before laughing softly, "I've been seeing this guy for a few dates...tonight, Im going to take the big step and ask him if he wants to be mah man" she finished her sentence with a Texas twang, awaiting the shocked reaction from her peers as Rose never committed to any relationship and much preferred partying and fooling around.
(ooc. Hope its cool that I said her & Geoff had been on a few dates Lia, we can possibly, mayhaps, play out this evening of Rose asking him to be her boyfriend? She's forward like that, lol)

(ooc: That's totally cool by me! And I'm not sure it's my turn, but whateva whateva, I do what I want! :])
Radhika shook her head at Alex and placed her hand on her hip. "Other way around, Binns. I simply stroll around, and gossip immediately snaps to my orbit!"
She scuttled over to sit next to Rose, crossing her legs and lacing her fingers together in anticipation. "Say whaaaat!" Radhika actually literally said while raising her hands up (Rose knew her well, what could she say) and started to laugh. "Now, exactly what sort of man could have the Rose Turner we all know and love ready to settle on down? I need details and I need them now, girl."
