Title: Sounding board
Author: m_findlow
Characters: Tosh, Gwen
Rating: PG
Challenge: 474 - Bounce at tw100
Notes: Tosh likes to talk out her problems, even if you don't have the answer.

'Do you think if I lowered the rate of transference, that would make a difference?' Tosh asked, looking across at Gwen, rifling through a file full of old police profiles.

'I have no idea, Tosh,' she replied.

'Maybe it's the amount of ionized particles trying to be simultaneously suspended,' she said, tapping out alterations to her code.

'I nearly failed year ten science, and half the time I can't get the internet at home to work,' Gwen replied. 'I think you're asking the wrong person.'

'That's okay. Sometimes it's nice just to be able to bounce ideas off someone else.'

I've learnt from experience too, that when you say things out loud instead of just in your head, you can suddenly see the mistakes/solutions, so Gwen is being useful for a change even if she doesn't have the answers.

But then your cat - or a potted plant - works just as well.

I suspect Tosh doesn't really need Gwen to say anything at all; thinking out loud is a good way to work things out.
