Room 313, Saturday afternoon

[solo_sword]

After last night's trip to the common room, Jaina was still cracking up internally. Sorry, but now she had enough mocking opportunities for John, Karal and Gavin to last her for a good long time.

And she was pretty much getting ready to attempt tracking them down to do so, definitely knowing where to start.


[For ltcolkirk, but open. So's the door. Look, I remembered to put that up!]

"Maybe I just wasn't paying as much attention to him." Though poor Karal was probably feeling the splits today.

"Your focus must've been on Gavin, then," he teased.

[solo_sword]

"Please don't hurt my head like that," she said.

"Sorry," he said, petting her head. "I'm sure I'd say the same if someone from my future was here on the island. Though, he's quite a dancer..."

"I'm going to have to try so hard to avoid a court-martial with my next visit home," she said. "Though you're right, he is pretty good."

"Just try to avoid asking him about his singing, dancing, and fascination with underwear and I'm sure you'll do fine," John advised her.

[solo_sword]

"Or maybe if I punctuate it with 'sir'..."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"I'd recommend against 'ma'am'..."

[solo_sword]

"That would get me tossed out of the military, and Inara would probably hit me," Jaina said.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Neither of which would be enjoyable," he said.

[solo_sword]

"I like you even more for not saying you would sell tickets to that fight," Jaina told him.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Nah," he said. "Wouldn't be a fair fight."

[solo_sword]

"You don't think I could take her?" she teased.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

He laughed, "No, I'm positive you could take her." And him, too.

[solo_sword]

"You're very good for my ego, you know," she said, tapping her foot against his thigh.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Is that the only thing I'm good for?" he said, trapping her foot with his hand.

[solo_sword]

"No, you've proven yourself good at a few other things," she said with a little smile.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"My ego would like some examples that don't include barbershop singing," he said.

[solo_sword]

"You're a great pilot," she started, because of course that was Important, "really easy to talk to..."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John bit back a smile, "I'm sounding pretty good so far..."

[solo_sword]

"Not so bad with your hands, either."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"These things?" he held them up, as if inspecting them.

[solo_sword]

"You don't have more I don't know about, do you?" she asked.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Spare hands? Sadly no," he told her. "Is that something normal from your world?"

[solo_sword]

"Depends on the species," Jaina answered. "Though yours are just fine the way they are. All two of them."
