Jo glanced over at the man who sat down next to her and her eyebrow shot up. Go figure, crazy guy just happened to decide to sit next to her. Such was her luck.
She took a quick sip of her drink before saying, "And that has got to be one of the worst pick-up lines I have ever heard."
"If you think that's bad, you should've been around for the time I tried to convince a woman half as beautiful as you that she was my destiny," Gwaine jokes without missing a beat, sliding on his stool to face her before lifting up a second flagon. "Though, I did have this sitting right here for you, so maybe it is fate."
Seriously? For a moment, Jo just stared at the guy half wondering where the island snatched these guys from. Maybe it was a special planet. She eyed the flagon and then looked back at the guy. "Fate? Right. This island is just full of that."
She did take the drink from him though, because obviously it would have been rude not to. "Thanks for this though."
"My pleasure," Gwaine rumbles, pleased and looking her over as he idly lays back against the bar, flipping his hair back as he took a long drink of his own flagon. "What's so fateful about this place?"
"Have you looked around?" Jo asked. "Not even a couple of weeks ago it was shorts weather... Now the island is covered with snow and all the buildings look like they were ripped right out of some twisted Dr. Suess book...."
She eyed him for a moment. "You have seen all of that, right?"
Gwaine remains calm, but the fact is she's speaking a good deal of rubbish at this point. "All I'm seeing right now is someone talking a lot of words I'm not really comprehending. Sorry," he adds, biting back the 'sweetheart' on the feeling it's not welcome right now.
Oh great. A new person who obviously thought she was off her rocker. Just perfect. "Well, you'll be seeing a lot of that then if you're new." She shrugged and took a long drink from her cup.
"You'll get use to it though. We all have, or at least pretend we have."
