What's the word about a social? It better not be a drag like the last time. I'm not keen on getting dolled up for nothing. Looks like it could shape up to be a swell time. That all depends.

Mr. Harkness, can I call you Jack, come on down to my pad. The hunk of junk is still on the fritz.

*He'd wanted to steal one of Owen's sweaters but the damn thing just was too small, so waistcoat and dress shirt over dress slacks it was!

There came a knock at the door.*

[Slowly opens the door, and my doesn't she look dolled up.]

I really appreciate you coming over, Mr. Harkness.

[Holds the door open for him.]

Captain.

[Corrected with a good natured smile as he steps on through the door and holds out his hand.]

Captain Jack Harkness, it's a pleasure to meet you in person, Miss. Elle.

[Returns a shake that is neither punishing nor patronizingly whimpy.]

So, want to show me to that troublesome dishwasher?

[Lets go, slowly.]

You got it.

[Turns and walks with a sway through the living room with plastic covering the furniture to the kitchen.]

[He's pleasant, not dead and so enjoys the swaying but then feels bashful for enjoying the swaying and thus is perhaps a bit red in the cheeks when they reach the kitchen.]

I'm sure I'll be able to get it running for you toot sweet. Brought my own tools and everything.

[Catches the color in his cheeks and steps aside to lean against the counter space beside the appliance.]

I don't have a head for this sort of work.

[Dishwashers aren't like cars or heavy artillery.]

[Shrugs out of his great coat and sets it aside, then leans over the counter to see how best to get at the dishwasher. This does nice things to the way his dress slacks pull over his ass.]

Oh, they're pretty straight forward if you just give them a little delicate handling.

[Turns and smiles at her.]

[Cocks her head and leans. Those are a good pair of slacks. Has enough sense to look away when he smiles.]

Really now?

[Reaches past him to open up the machine. Elle had enough sense to remove the can of hair spray she put through the wash and dispose of.]

It may need a lot of handling.

[Now how would that have gotten in there? You know, it was a question he would have asked if she hadn't removed it.]

Well I won't be leaving till the job's done proper, I promise!

[Rolls up his sleeves and starts getting to work. There might even be some pleasant whistling going along with the job. You know, whistle while you work and all that!]

[There are better questions to be asked. The offending spray can has gone the way of the buffalo.]

Gosh, and to think you don't want anything out of it?

[Steps away, lightly brushing past him to the cabinets to remove to glasses. Gets out her materials for lemonade, listening to the tune for now.]

[Any other day, he'd be looking after her with a knowing arch to his eyebrow. Today, Mr. Wanna be Ward Cleaver, blushed as she brushed past him and only snuck in a quick glance as she reached into the cabinets.]

The joy of a job well done is reward enough, Miss. Elle.

[ooc: I think I officially just broke my brain typing him saying that! ;D]

[Doll of a face and square of a mind, she reasons not recalling sex and chainsaw discussions in a cursed frame of mind. Lemon in hand she smiles sweetly for him. He'll get more if she's got anything to say about it. A girl needs her kicks.]

I'll have to think of something. This is turning out to be too big of a chore.

[Light and casual, like an after thought]

...You can just call me Elle, Jack.

[Curses were really starting to put a damper on his sex life, damn it!]

Oh, phshaw, Elle. This isn't anything but a little fun afternoon fix it job and I reckon your lemonade is going to taste just so Jim Dandy delicious that I'm going to be begging to help you hang pictures next or feeling like I haven't done my do.

[Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze.]

I make it extra sweet.

[Soon there's a whole pitcher waiting.]

We haven't been neighbors very long, tell me about about yourself and Mrs. Harkness. [Sly.]
