[ Cross-legged on the ground, Jamie sat with a group of his dupes eating lunch. One was covered in splotches of paint, another a thin layer of sawdust, and Jamie himself, sleeves rolled up, sweating and eating a sub.

He hadn't expected Monet. Had he known she were coming, he would have picked her something up. Instead, he sheepishly poked at the other half of his sandwich, mouth full. ]

Hungry?

[ Monet crossed her arms over her chest, resisting the urge to sigh. If she did that, the dust that was permeating the air would fill her healing lungs, and she supposed that would be a poor decision. She tapped a high-heeled shoe against the half-shining, half-dingy floor. ]

Not anymore. What are you doing?

jamie_prime February 23 2010, 21:08:39 UTC

[ He looked thoughtful for a moment, maybe even confused. ] I swear I thought we had this conversation.

[ Jamie gestured around the room, sub in hand. ] This place isn't gonna get up and running by itself, is it? And I'm certainly not gonna crawl to Scott Summers for work.

superxgrlfriend February 23 2010, 21:40:56 UTC

I meant on the floor, not in general.

[ She takes a look around. It does seem to be shaping into a semblance of an office. ]

I think it needs a woman's touch. This woman's touch. When can I go shopping for furniture?

jamie_prime February 23 2010, 21:50:57 UTC

Eating a sub. [ He said plainly. ]

And I don't know where you plan on going, [ He took a bite. ] but considering our cash flow right now, the only place I can think of starts with I and ends in kea.

superxgrlfriend February 23 2010, 21:52:51 UTC

Obviously.

Don't underestimate me, Madrox. I can make miracles.

jamie_prime February 23 2010, 21:57:21 UTC

[ He mumbled, mouth full, and stared at her plainly. ] If these miracles involve James Bond or Tony Stark, I'm out.

[ Stares at him in disgust. ]

You wound me with your insinuations.

jamie_prime February 23 2010, 22:39:26 UTC

Okay, okay, [ He relented, standing up. Then, without looking, he extended his hand and reabsorbed his duplicates. ]

What did you have in mind?

superxgrlfriend February 23 2010, 23:38:26 UTC

Well, firstly, you're in desperate need of a shower. Then, you can take me out to lunch, and we can shop for amenities.

jamie_prime February 23 2010, 23:57:16 UTC

[ He blinked and looked down at himself. ] Oh.

Yeah, just... [ he began, and then wrapped his sub up and tossed it in the tiny fridge. ] ...just gimme a few minutes.

[ He pulled off his shirt and shut the door behind him. Monet could hear the shower start, and he called out. ] AH... MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE. THERE ARE SOME DRINKS IN THE FRIDGE.

[ While she waited, Monet looked around the apartment. It wasn't snooping as much as it was evaluating her future work environment. The living room was sparse, which was expected, as that was where Jamie was doing most of the work. A single armchair stood in one corner. The kitchen was, at the very least, clean. Predictably, the only things in the small fridge were the sandwich and beer. Nothing appealing.

She was about to peek into the bedroom when the water shut off, signaling that she should probably return to the living room. Not knowing entirely why, and it certainly wasn't because she just processed that Jamie was naked ten feet away, she stood where she was at the juncture between the bathroom and bedroom.]

jamie_prime February 24 2010, 02:35:59 UTC

[ The door open, steam moved from the door, and Jamie walked out, not looking, and just about walked right into Monet. His eyes went wide for a minute and he grabbed onto the towel around his waist ] UH.

Thee uh... chair... [ He pointed towards the direction of the living room. ] ...is that way, Monet? [ The question in his voice was more because he was... confused. What was going on? He knew Monet was forward, but he didn't think? Was... that what this was? ]

superxgrlfriend February 24 2010, 02:40:23 UTC

[ She looked him up and down. Slowly. ]

I know, I was just looking around. Nothing really of interest, sadly.

[ She turned and walked out toward the living room, her hair swinging behind her. ]

Try not to take too much time getting ready. I hardly have all day.

jamie_prime February 24 2010, 03:04:49 UTC

[ He'd been unconsciously holding his breath in his chest the entire time she'd been standing there up until the point she walked away. Only then did he release it in a relieved, but equally frustrated sigh. Goddammit, Monet.

It only took him a few minutes to toss on his usual jeans, trademark henley-esque shirt, and jacket, and then he was back out in the living room/office waving her towards him and the door. ]

Ready? I hardly have all day. [ He turned from her and rolled his eyes. ]

superxgrlfriend February 24 2010, 03:17:35 UTC

[ She let her eyes linger perhaps a little longer than necessary, but, as he was turned, there was no harm. In fact, it was a bonus. It was a pretty nice view; who could blame her? ]

You should consider yourself lucky to be spending time with me. I'm very busy, you know.
