Devil's Nest, Monday Evening

Mar 27, 2017 01:56

The whole incident had probably been inevitable. Last week, Tiny and the DJ had been talking about movies with jump scares and Verity had mentioned that she wasn't easy to startle. They'd spent all of her last shift jumping out at her and trying to scare her and it hadn't worked. She'd hoped they'd given up after that but no, their shift hadn't ( Read more... )

If Eric had a problem with the music playing through small wireless speakers, he was more than welcome to take it up with Tiny.

"What happened to the DJ?" Eric asked as he wandered in after sundown. "Did Tiny eat him?"

Tiny gave him a Look.

Verity had her hands on her hips as she glared at Tiny. Tiny pretended not to notice.

"At the clinic," she announced to Eric. "Because I kicked him in the face and broke his nose."

"Did he try to grab your ass?" Eric asked. "Because I can do worse than break his nose."

"If he tried something like that, I would have followed it up by breaking his wrist," Verity said. "But they've been playing 'startle the waitress' for the past week and tonight they finally succeeded."

Eric's glare at Tiny was withering. "Really."

"I don't think it's a game they're going to be continuing again." She looked over at Tiny, matching Eric's glare. "I can reach your face with my foot, too," she informed him.

"I'm six foot four," Eric pointed out, sounding a little impressed despite himself.

Verity was over a foot shorter than he was, wow.

She turned away from glaring at Tiny and gave Eric a considering glance. "To reach yours, I'd probably have to jump first," she said. "Or wear heels. But yeah."

She gave Tiny another withering glance. "Don't mess with a professional dancer, dude. We're limber for a reason."

"For several, based on the dancers I've known," Eric replied with a little grin.

Verity was also limber for several reasons, but possibly not the ones he was thinking of? She was giving him an upraised eyebrow for it though? "Oh really?" she asked, voice very sweet. The kind of sweetness that only food idiots. "And what reasons are those?"

"Secret assassinations," Eric pronounced solemnly. "I've been around."

"To some interesting places it seems," Verity said. "I'm not a secret assassin. Promise."

More like a secret enforcer? Totally different!

Totally!

"If you were, it wouldn't be a deal-breaker or anything," Eric assured her.

"If I were, I'd be a pretty lousy one if I went around admitting it," Verity pointed out.

Not that she was. Still, it needed saying.

"But glad to know I'd have job security even if I were. So, bad taste in music is a deal-breaker, but casual murders on the side are just fine?"

Vampires.

"Yes," Eric said, nodding. "That's not weird, is it?"

Little bit, Eric. Little bit.
