So.

Jayne's got himself an actual date to a wedding.

It's safe to say that this is a new and unprecedented thing, and Jayne is pondering it, brow furrowed, over a glass of tequila.  Which does help with the pondering, somewhat.

"Hey, so I RSVP'd for two," Lilly announces, sitting down next to him.

"Which means that we have to talk about clothes. You've got other clothes, right?"

[awesome_lilly]

"That," Lilly says loftily, "is because unpredictability is part of my charm."

No, seriously.

Jayne's smile is lopsided, and a little rueful.

"It's got its moments," he concedes.

[awesome_lilly]

Lilly smiles, pleased at that.

"I'll try to have some of those moments at the wedding, then. To make up for the suit."

[swinging_cod]

"The suit's gonna require a hell of a lot of making up for," Jayne points out, on principle.

But he doesn't sound too displeased either.

[awesome_lilly]

"Please, I'll be charmingly unpredictable and there'll be an open bar."

At least, Lilly's fairly certain there will be. If not she has no issues running up a Really Big Tab.

"That more than balances out the suit."

Jayne raises his eyebrows.

"Depends how yawn-makin' the ceremony is, too."

[awesome_lilly]

...he has a point.

"None of my wedding ceremonies have ever been boring," Lilly points out.

"Plus James Bond is a spy and Sarah Jane's a time-traveling journalist. Honestly, I'll be surprised if we don't get like, invaded or something."

"None a your weddin' ceremonies ever had invites," Jayne reminds her.

There's something about invitations that makes everything seem more formal, in Jayne's mind. Also more likely to be dull as ditchwater.

"Or an open bar."

Beat.

"Another problem with suits is they're too tight t'fit a pistol underneath."

[awesome_lilly]

"Okay, no," Lilly concedes. "But at least one of them was caused by an open bar."

She tilts her head, thoughtful.

"I bet I could strap a pistol to my thigh under the dress I'm wearing... as long as it wasn't a big pistol."

[swinging_cod]

"All right, Corpsey - you bring the hidden pistol," Jayne says, suddenly generous, "long as you let me get it out if we get invaded or sommat."

Leer. "I got better aim."

[awesome_lilly]

Lilly rolls her eyes again. This seems to happen a lot around Jayne.

"Maybe, maybe not. I'm taking lessons."

[swinging_cod]

"Yeah, 'til you show me what you got, I'm gonna be relyin' on my skills here. Don't care t'end up corpeslike myself."

[awesome_lilly]

"Fine by me, it's not like I recommend the corpse thing."

Lilly shrugs.

"Besides, it's James Bond's wedding. The place'll probably be crawling with secret agents and stuff."

[swinging_cod]

Jayne gives her a rather wary look.

"Long as they ain't Feds from my part of the 'verse."

[awesome_lilly]

Lilly sighs.

"I showed you the invitation, Jayne. The wedding's taking place in 2007. It's five hundred years too early for you to get arrested."

She hopes.
