[She's propped up the communicator so she can talk while she packs her belongings.  Judging by her sharp movements, she's very annoyed about something.]

It appears that I need to clarify something.

Back home, I was a Companion.  I had clients that paid for me to join them for a night or more, including time of an intimate nature.  I'm a registered

Seems like this announcement is just going to invite negative attention. [Bucky is completely unphased by your profession, madam, see how nonchalantly he sips his coffee at a little kitchen table? His girlfriend was trained to seduce men for state secrets and/or to get close enough to kill them, after all.]

If anyone hassles you, I'm apparently in 3208.

It appears there's going to be negative attention either way and I'm not interested in moving every time my neighbor discovers that I might actually have overnight visitors.

Your neighbor? Who did you get stuck beside? [He quirks an eyebrow slightly.]

I believe her name is Emilia. I'm not well suited to a floor where men are restricted.

Emilia's views are... interesting. [He's cringing slightly in sympathy. He likes the woman, don't get him wrong, but her views on things... She'd likely have a few choice things to say about his girl.]

There's an empty apartment on my floor if it gets to the point where you have to move.

I was wondering if her views were more common. I don't know much about her world.

I'm definitely planning on moving. I don't want to put her in an uncomfortable position. I like the idea of a floor for just women, but I don't need a house priestess watching my every move or giving me a curfew.

They're not... exactly common when and where I'm from. It was the sort of thing that was scandalous when I was growing up, but the idea doesn't bother me anymore. [If he let it bother him, he'd have to let it bother him whenever he looked at the woman he loves.]

Well, the floor I'm on is far from women-only, but as far as I know, no one will have any issues with what you do.

It wouldn't be the first time I was part of a scandal, but that usually has more to do with individuals than my role.

[At least she has a sense of humor about all of this.]

I'll consider it. Howard has also suggested the building he lives in.

Hard to start a good scandal around here, so at least you don't have to worry about that. [He grins slightly.]

That'd be a decent spot too, I'm sure, Howard's a good guy.

Re: [video]

[notanambassador]

That almost sounds like a challenge, Captain Barnes. [She shouldn't be this amused.]

So you've decided it's fine if his claws are in me?

[bucky_cap]

Only if you take it as one. I'd be impressed if you could shock the majority of people around here.

[He just shrugs nonchalantly, vaguely amused.] He doesn't have work to be distracted from now. Ain't my soldier anymore. Besides, I think you can handle yourself.

Re: [video]

[notanambassador]

[She openly laughs, her good mood restored.]

And I really don't have any interest in shocking the populace. In a small group like this, it's just too much work to deal with the reactions.

As to our mutual friend, I think I have him well in hand.
