For either Cal, Violet or both... big_damnheroine May 6 2010, 02:51:31 UTC

Zoe is sitting at a table with a good view of the bar, cleaning her gun. It doesn't really need cleaning, but it's something that she finds relaxing - after all, on Serenity any kind of routine is hard to come by.

Violet knows better by now than to let the attitudes of her time (1959) shine through in Milliways.

That doesn't mean she's any happier to see a colored woman fooling around with a gun like that.

She just hides it better. She'll even smile, if her glance happens to catch the woman's eye.

Zoe gives the other woman a measured nod, when their eyes meet.

Violet does smile, perfectly polite if not sincere.

"Don't mind my staring," she chirps brightly, for the look of the thing, "but that's quite a gun you've got there."

She has the airhead socialite act down to a science. It tends to prolong the right conversations and keep the wrong ones short.

For Grahame brokensteeldoll May 6 2010, 02:59:18 UTC

Nix looks grubby, as well she might - she's working on her skybike again. It's on the floor not too far away from Grahame's seat at the moment, and the occasional banging - to say nothing of Nix's whistling - is probably not helping Grahame's lack of concentration.

It isn't. Of course, if Grahame really wanted to concentrate, there are plenty of better places to work than the main room of Milliways, and he knows it. He isn't really here to work. He's just here to avoid being there.

He does have a bit of a headache, though, still lingering from the meeting with Gliardi, and for that the extra noise does get an irritated glance.

brokensteeldoll May 6 2010, 03:13:47 UTC

Nix pays attention, in Milliways (and everywhere else too, really), but she's also contrary by nature.

So Grahame gets a brilliant, cheeky grin in exchange for the look, and although she does stop whistling, this has more to do with a particularly tricky manoeuvre that she's trying to accomplish than it does with Grahame's headache.

showmenomercy May 6 2010, 03:18:10 UTC

Which is good enough for now, though the grin indicates that it's a temporary reprieve at best.

He'll work up the energy for more than just another look when it starts up again.

There is a girl in the bar, or maybe she's a woman. Eye of the beholder, and all of that jazz. She has black hair, stylishly done, and large violet eyes, and perfectly red lips.

That dress is pretty darn cute, too, and the wearer shouldn't be allowed to be bored, oh no.

Which she looks like she might be, lips forming just the hint of a pout.

It is a crime for beautiful women to be bored.

Luckily, Reed Chandler is very entertaining.

Though maybe not always in the way he thinks.

"Waiting for someone?" he asks, casually leaning against the Bar next to her.
