Flight Shed, Sunday afternoon

[solo_sword]

Jaina probably shouldn't have been surprised she managed to get permission to use the sim from her grandfather, but she was. And yes, she was a little gleeful at getting back into even simulated flight. Okay, so she kind of missed this sort of thing, and she would take what she could get.

She got down there early, unlocked the door, and waited outside for John.


[For ltcolkirk yay! Flight shed invaded with permission.]

"And on that day pigs will fly," John teased back.

[solo_sword]

Jaina paused. "Do they not normally?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Oh, right," John really needed to stop the idioms. "No, they're big fat pink animals that do not possess wings."

[solo_sword]

"The things I miss not being a native," she said, though now she was trying to picture it.

"You're really not missing much," he assured her. "But we can always break out the music videos again if you want practice."

[solo_sword]

"The music videos?" she repeated. "You think that'll help?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, they're pretty free with the idoms and since they use pictures, I figure it's good practice," John nodded.

[solo_sword]

"Okay," she said, nodding. "I trust you. It'll be a learning experience."

"I can't make any promises," John warned her. "Television is kinda out of control."

[solo_sword]

"As long as I don't lose any brain cells," Jaina decided. "If I do, though, we'll have to have a talk."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Depends on which brain cells you lose," John teased.

[solo_sword]

Jaina oh-so-maturely stuck her tongue out at him.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John laughed, "That's a really good look on you, you know?"

[solo_sword]

"Believe it or not, the first time I've ever heard that," said Jaina, who probably hadn't done that since she was about eight. "Best compliment I've ever gotten."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Well, I must just bring out the best in you," he said, not believing for a minute that was the best compliment she'd ever gotten.

[solo_sword]

It wasn't, but hey. "Well, you got to me stick my tongue out at you. Not sure what that says."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Maybe that I'm incredibly funny and you secretly like it."

[solo_sword]

"That has to be a secret?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"No! There can be public liking."

[solo_sword]

"Good! Consider it public."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Excellent, I'll run down to the radio station this evening," he said mock seriously.

[solo_sword]

Jaina looked sorely tempted for a moment to dare him to but this was yesterday. "Guess you'll just have to tell everyone then."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"That's my plan," John winked. "Feel free to make sure I'm keeping up. Campus is pretty big."

[solo_sword]

"This isn't some secret plan to get me to do all the work, is it?"

She had no idea what they were talking about anymore, but it was just too easy to roll with it with him.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"No, but it really should be," John was impressed. Despite having thoughts along the same lines as hers.
