Las Vegas- Friday evening Fandom time

[solo_sword]

Apparently this was the week for Vegas or something. John was on spring break, and since Jaina seemed to be commuting for her weekends anyway, they needed to go somewhere that wasn't San Diego. For some reason. She didn't even know.

She kind of felt comfortable here, too. While the party side of things didn't really appeal to her, she was used to the lights and the noise and the crowds, and she didn't see a lot of that anymore. Plus it gave her a chance to clean up at the poker table and then wander around where she wasn't worried that security was checking them out. (She was doing nothing wrong. She was just good, okay?) And it just so happened that some of the wandering was done past stores that led to comments like, "This city just specializes in hookerwear, doesn't it?"


[For the boy!]

Comments

"I think it specializes in escortwear," John replied, accepting a flier from some guy on the street and passing it over to Jaina.

[solo_sword]

"And the difference is?" she asked, looking at the flier. "...Seriously?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"No clue," he shrugged. "You're the girl, you should know."

[solo_sword]

She tilted her head at him. "Did you just say that I should know the difference between an escort and a hooker because I'm a girl?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

Well, yes. "No." Because obviously that was the right answer. "You brought it up!"

[solo_sword]

She lightly swatted his arm. "I don't know what you've been thinking, but I don't typically dress like either of those things."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"No. No you don't," he agreed easily.

[solo_sword]

And because he'd started them down this path, she added, "Besides, you're the one with experience disrobing for money."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

Oh that was just wrong.

"I seem to recall a certain dance routine and a cash exchange in a common room..." Sure that had been Inara, but Jaina had been in on the routine.

[solo_sword]

"I had nothing to do with any money changing hands," she said quickly. "And I didn't take anything off."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

He smirked, "Are you sure about that..?" He knew she hadn't.

[solo_sword]

"Yes! And you should know, with the picture on your wall..."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Hey, you look really hot in that shot," John countered.

[solo_sword]

"Just wait till I get shots of you on my wall," she threatened.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

That would be the day. "Oh? Planning a collage?"

[solo_sword]

"I have more than enough blackmail on you by now, you know," she pointed out.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but most everything you know is either known to all my friends anyway or not something people on Earth would believe," he pointed back.

[solo_sword]

He had a point there. Damn. "Doesn't mean it wouldn't be fun trying to prove it."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"And being called crazy," he added. "Go for it. I dare you."

[solo_sword]

"Fine. We'll see who Mitch believes," she said. And she and Mitch had had Oprah bonding, wow she needed hobbies.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

Mitch would believe the guy with the Cheetos supply. "Can't wait. Maybe he'll share with the commander."

[solo_sword]

"Even if everyone thought I was crazy, I don't see that going well for anyone," Jaina countered.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Nah, might involve some serious amounts of counseling," he sighed. "Should probably avoid it."

[solo_sword]

"And here I thought I'd come up with a hobby for myself," she said with an overdramatic sigh.

"You could always trying designing your very own clothes line," John suggested like a jackass.
