i accuse ... shalla nelprin. in the bar. with the magazine.

If you are wondering where that sound is coming from (no, not that sound; the giggling sound), you don't have to look too far. It's coming from that table in the corner of the bar, the one that's got feet on it. Yes, the ones dangerously close to knocking a drink off the surface ( Read more... )

If she's just going to knock that drink off the table, someone needs to rescue it. That is what Wes is here for. To save the day.

He picks it up. And quickly drinks some, of course. To minimise the amount that would be spilt later.

That's what makes him a hero.

Wes is truly selfless. Shalla recognizes his altruism by kicking him in the leg.

Without looking up, she says, "That was my drink. I could have a cold."

Wes gracefully ignores the kick (though steps sideways to impede future violence) and examines the edge of the glass for germs.

"Well, as long as it's not Rodian flu."

Shalla is too absorbed in her reading to move into a better attack position. Anyway, reading the shocking fact that men like oral sex is more interesting than beating up Wes tonight.

"Yes, that one. That's what I have. Yep."

He nods thoughtfully, sips the drink again, then brightens.

"So can I get your ship when you die?"

fighter__pilot July 4 2009, 02:48:55 UTC

"Seriously, if you finish that you are buying me another."

She reaches the end of the page and takes the chance to look up and glare at him.

"Nope. That's going to somebody I actually like."

i_love_kettch July 4 2009, 02:56:41 UTC

"Buy you another drink, gotcha."

Water is a drink.

He nods again. Wisely, this time. He is totally on the same wavelength, here.

"Right, right. Whereas people you love, like me, get the really astral stuff."

fighter__pilot July 4 2009, 03:04:56 UTC

She cocks her eyebrow at him, considering.

"Nah. You can get one of my servodrivers."

That settled, she re-directs her attention to the magazine.

"Do you like it when girls wear silk gloves and rub your treasure trail, Janson?"

i_love_kettch July 4 2009, 03:14:21 UTC

THUMBS UP.

"Now I can finally put up shelves!"

He pauses with the drink halfway to his mouth and squints at the magazine cover. Then at Shalla.

"Are you ... volunteering? Because you're doing it badly."

fighter__pilot July 4 2009, 03:20:14 UTC

"What you've always wanted!"

Her fake grin drops into a cynical glance.

"Yeah, because exploring your treasure trail sounds like my dream come true. That is the reason I was asking, not because I wanted to know if this is really the kind of weird, super-specific stuff men think about."

i_love_kettch July 4 2009, 03:26:02 UTC

"I don't even..." He wrinkles his nose as he thinks about this. "I mean, treasure trail? Really? I can honestly say I have never had that specific thought, no. What are you reading?"

fighter__pilot July 4 2009, 03:33:05 UTC

"Trust me, treasure trail isn't even the half of it." She flips back a couple of pages. "Do you like watching while she 'plays cowgirl in your saddle?' There's even more, but I'll spare you."

Marking her place carefully, she closes the magazine for the moment.

"It is the best way to entertain yourself while making certain men seem very, very strange. And girly, to be honest."
