“Can I offer you a vent?”

“Got one.” She flashed her vial.

“A drink?”

“Sorry, not interested.”

He followed her gaze across the protoplanetary nebular lounge.

“Come on, him? I’m better-looking than that guy. What’s he got that I haven’t got?”

“You might be better-looking than him, but you’re not better-looking than her.”

Ah, then, he's got nothing to go on from there. ;)

Excellent story with so few words. The dialogue works perfectly.

"Ah, then, he's got nothing to go on from there." Exactly. ;)

Thanks for your comment.

RVC,

Quick question that I hope isn't too hair-splitting--is their a sci fi tag?

[redvelvetcanopy]

Definitely! I've changed the fantasy to sci-fi, since I figured that's why you were asking. I paused when I tagged it, but took a chance. Let me know if I make a mistake in the future.

Thanks!

Great dialouge.

[cotidiana]

Thank you! I like your kermit.

[papertissues]

Completely agree with that.

You've really got a knack for this genre.

[cotidiana]

Thank you so much!

BTW, I like your screen name.
