[IF. HE WAITS. SURELY SHE'LL BE DONE SOON.

This is the most awkward standing.]

[keep_nothing]

[ Nope, it's probably a full minute until she starts to calm down. She started to a few seconds after she began, but then she made the mistake of looking at his face and it started up in full again.

Finally, finally the laugh dissolves into quiet giggles, and she wipes her eyes with both hands. ]

[use_everything]

[Dryly.]

I can fetch you water.

[keep_nothing]

I think I'll need it after that, thanks.

[use_everything]

[It doesn't take long to find and bring a glass back.]

I may regret asking, but I will anyway... What was that about?

[keep_nothing]

[ She thanks him and sips with a smile still on her lips. ]

Just that you two are so similar. I swear, you military-minded men ...

[use_everything]

[He opens his mouth to protest. And closes it.

It's not that he doesn't have protests. It's more that he knows better.]

.. So... have you any objections?

[keep_nothing]

With Roy? If you recall, I'm the one who set you up on that surprise first mini-date at his bar.

[use_everything]

It was unlike you to be quite that late, yes.

[keep_nothing]

I was right on time with my own schedule, thank you very much. It as a good first meet though, right?

[use_everything]

... It was an enjoyable conversation.

[keep_nothing]

Full of military innuendo, I'm sure.

[use_everything]

Apparently, more than I had intended, but...

[keep_nothing]

[ She chuckles again while she takes another drink of water. ]

[use_everything]

Out of curiosity, is this number 15 or were you just looking to my tastes?

[keep_nothing]

15?

[use_everything]

Well. The way it was phrased was not particularly simple to achieve with two participants...

[keep_nothing]

Well, 15 could also lead to 27 too, so ...

[ She grins at him. ]

[use_everything]

I... hadn't considered that. How...?

[keep_nothing]

[ She raises her eyebrows. ] Oil.

[use_everything]

... Ah.

[He looks less scandalized and more very intensely interested.]

[keep_nothing]

Well, oil and a bit of rope, really, but only if you're not that flexible. Sounds like fun, doesn't it?

[use_everything]

Who is that flexible to begin with?

It sounds like a backache. Might be worth trying though.

[keep_nothing]

Younger people, mostly, or at least more enthusiastic. I've had that one on my list for a while, after all.

[use_everything]

I'll find out if there's interest, then.
