[jianhuo]

She has an apple.

She is eating it at a table in the corner with near-orgasmic-glee written all over her face, leaning back in the chair with her feet propped up on the table.

That may have been a moan.

But what kind of apple?

"Is fruit hard to come by?"

[jianhuo]

"Mmmhmmm."

That was definitely a moan. And she doesn't seem at all inclined to open her eyes or look over at the speaker.

[oldromansaint]

Pity, because the speaker's looking at her. His voice is masculine, tainted with Italian accent (which she might not be exposed to terribly frequently) yet somehow pronouncing the English syllables properly.

His smile was deeply ironic. Women, and apples.

"I'm glad, then, that you have this opportunity."

[jianhuo]

"You and me both, baobei." That was Chinese, though spoken with an odd accent - a sort of Old West American twang.

Still, blue eyes do eventually appear, peeking at him and she smiles before sucking juice off her finger. "Am I distracting you from something terribly important?"

[mop_jockey]

Lenny sits at the table just opposite, watching her eat the apple.

Damn.

He leans over to a wait-rat and points out the moaner. "I'll have what she's having."

[princeinexile]

"Must you be lewd?" says the maimed boy from the other table. Hello! Someone trying to plan his next great move here!

[jianhuo]

"It isn't my fault that you're watching," she notes, licking juice from her wrist.

[princeinexile]

"I have ears too."

Well, ear.

[jianhuo]

"And I'm not forcing you to listen," she replies, lifting her eyes to him, lifting brows slightly at the scar and then going back to her apple.

"You should try a peach next, and a plum afterwards." Oh, Cait is always amused by people's antics in Milliways.

[jianhuo]

"Oh, Lao Tian Ye, they have those, too?"

She may make love to Cait, too, at this rate, with the adoration in her gaze at the moment.

[cf1]

"Bar can provide any kind of food, as far as I know." The very tall redhead smiles, and offers a hand. "I am Caitlin, by the way. Are you new to Milliways?"

[jianhuo]

"Evangeline," the redhead replies, smiling as she offers the not-sticky hand for a shake. "And yes, I am - I've only been here a few days. You've been here long?"

[over_europe]

And that may have been a raised eyebrow. Or two.

Okay, it definitely was.

The soldier sitting nearby, with map, rifle, and helmet spread across the table, is making absolutely no secret of the fact that he is watching the woman, with a combination of amusement and '-did I really just hear that?' in his expression.

"If more people enjoyed their food that much, the world would be a better place," decides Captain Nixon. Especially if 'more people' are more pretty redheads.

[jianhuo]

"That's me," she notes, sucking juice right off the skin of the apple, "just tryin' t'improve th'world."

[over_europe]

Nix wipes at a smudge of dirt across his forehead - though it's a lost cause, really, considering how many more smudges there are - and one side of his mouth lifts. "One apple at a time?"

[jianhuo]

"Unless they've got more than just apples. Then it'll be one bite at a time."

Don't think she won't try to eat every type of fruit the bar has in store, just to try it.

But she smiles slightly a moment later, lowering the apple. "I think you'll need a washcloth to get any noticeable amount of dirt off your face - wiping dirty fingers probably won't do anything."
