December talking meme: Benton / Miss Hawthorne drabble

[john_amend_all]

liadtbunny prompted "Benton / Miss Hawthorne" (I took this to mean for a crack-pairing drabble, rather than a serious multi-thousand word shipping manifesto).

"Is it true, what they say about witches?" Benton asked. "I've seen what it says in Miss Grant's books."

"Books written by men, no doubt." Miss Hawthorne gave him a sharp look. "Let me disabuse you, Sergeant. Nearly everything you've heard about the Craft is fiction."

"So that means nothing'll happen if I do this?"

He pushed the bundle of sticks he was carrying into her arms, leaned forward, and kissed her.

Miss Hawthorne picked up the small, green amphibian that was now sitting on the Sergeant's empty uniform. "That story, on the other hand," she said, "is entirely true."

That's the end of my prompts, but I have plenty of slots left on the original posts if anyone wants to ask for anything else.

Heh. And after The Time Monster, I can't help feeling that that's the kind of thing that could well happen to Benton.
