"Thanks." I tell her, setting the stuff down on the table. "I gotta find Svenja- I think us ice cubes got stuff programmed into our brains and I'm afraid she and Cee are ticking time bombs. You know anyone going to Boomtown soon? I gotta send him a …
I smile and move my face in... past her mouth to her ear- kissing, nibbling. My hands pull her hips to mine gently. "I want to frak that nervous smile right off your face." I whisper to her intently.
Before she can respond my mouth is on hers, kiss…
I smile and take the glass from her when she's done. "Thatta girl." I say.
She said she'd had prior relationships, so I'm not going to patronize her by sitting her down and explaining what I'd like to do... I step in towards her, closing the gap be…
"It's not like that." I say. "VB- you remember when I healed you? We sort of woke up and were kissing. It only lasted a second." Alright so I guess I do explain. The last thing I want to do is hurt Kiddo or VB, but I also want to be honest with them…
"No... uh." I'm going to have to just spit it out and get it over with. "When I healed him... we... we ended up kissing." I tell her, cringing a bit. Kiddo is a good person and I'm not going to try to explain it or justify it or anything.
I figured she wouldn't be into the weird stuff, so I brought her into the blue room. The red one has kinkier stuff in it. This room has a bed and a shower. There's a desk. The girls decorated it a bit so it doesn't look like every other room on this…
"Sometimes." I answer her. "Mostly I'd think they'd want to eat, but what do I know?"
"In a bit- I wanted to drop this stuff off to you first." I tell her. "How... how are you? Did Rinso talk to you at all?" I can't help looking over my shoulder to…
"One of them is sick, they are going to come by the infirmary." I tell her. "They don't seem to be willing to work for food." I'm frustrated about that.
I drop my voice real low. "Ok, some kids lifted it off your girls, but they were just hungry. They won't steal from the Candies again." If I can't tell Kiddo the truth, I'm in trouble. She can do with it what she wants.
Yeah, we knock or ring the chime or whatever.
"Hey Kiddo. Nice digs!" I tell her. I feel bad I haven't been up here before, I've just been so busy with the infirmary...
"Yeah, thanks." I say. I'm trying to decide what I'll tell Kiddo and the Candies about the stuff. I don't know that they'll believe me if I say I bought it at the market.
I walk out first, my arms full of stuff. I move quickly so the kids don't see Metro.
"You know where Kiddo's room is?" I ask Metro when we're far enough away. "I don't think I've been in more than four rooms outside of the infirmary..."
"Fair enough." I reply. "You're in for whatever you want to be in for. I'm not looking for any kind of attachment, if that's what you're asking."
I pick up a fry and eat it. Damn- she was right!
I want to know who 'they' are, but I'm afraid to spook her by asking. Maybe I can ask Sansui later.
"Ok, you want to come with me now or meet me there?" I ask. If they want to meet me there I'll drop the stuff off with Kiddo- she can deal with the …
I refuse the fries- I don't need to eat her food. "No, thanks."
"You mean what do I intend to do right now between you and me? Or on this ship with my business?" I ask, no offense taken. I want to answer the question she's asking.
I hand the tablet over to Sansui and pick up the stuff they stole.
"Well then be careful?" I ask Combi. "I don't want to have to stitch up you kids! You're too small! My eyes are old!"
"Beam... will you come back to the infirmary with me?" I ask h…
I smile at her. "I'm into whatever." I tell her honestly. "I'm glad I can help."
Is that... a fried egg on her burger? Where the hell did they get the eggs? I gladly take a bite. "That's not bad!" I tell her.
OOC: Read Janco incoming.
"What's wrong with working?" I ask, mock-offended. "If I didn't work who'd fix you up when you're sick? There's worse jobs than cleaning, lemme tell you."
"Hi, Beam." I say softly, taking a step away from her. I need to try and get her into the in…
I smile and nod in all the right places. Shaking my head no when she says she's going on. She's smart and willing to step back when someone better came along? I've been going about this all wrong.
I made chit chat while she's eating- mostly I talk …
"We can still trade. I promise." I tell Sansui. "Can we talk a bit first?"
"Yes, I'm the doctor." I answer Combi. My brow furrows. "Who is the mean boy?" The mean boy? I don't know who that could be... though I haven't been out of the infirmary in …
Normally I'd like to get her talking about herself, but I don't mind fluffing up my feathers from time to time.
"Me and my crew came here from Armour- we'd been there for almost a year. Before that we moved around- Salt, Cat for a bit, Boomtown, Wa…
