Mal has curled herself into a booth with a blanket around her shoulders, and a sketchpad and pencil in front of her. She seems to be drawing weapons.

Namely swords.

Bother?

"Very useful for the times where words fail you."

[not-one-drop.livejournal.com]

"No kidding."

Tries again.

"Well. It's pretty rude, then?"

[maydaybrat.livejournal.com]

"Depends on the person. In general? Yes."

[not-one-drop.livejournal.com]

"Swell."

(Not her words. His)

"Well. How could I ever repay you?"

[maydaybrat.livejournal.com]

"I'll get back to you."

[not-one-drop.livejournal.com]

"Oh, lovely."

[maydaybrat.livejournal.com]

"Yep."

[not-one-drop.livejournal.com]

"So what'll I need to do?"

[maydaybrat.livejournal.com]

"Wait with bated breath. Or let the gentleman with the scimitar know that I'm looking for him."

[not-one-drop.livejournal.com]

"Of course."

Laughs, softly.

[maydaybrat.livejournal.com]

He grins, quick and boyish.

[not-one-drop.livejournal.com]

And she grins back, light and airy and with two little glinting fangs.

"So, aside from sword drawing, how are things with you?"

[not-one-drop.livejournal.com]

"Good, on a whole. You?"

Distinct lack of sex.

[maydaybrat.livejournal.com]

"Eh. Caught between a rock and a hard space."

[not-one-drop.livejournal.com]

"Yeah? Why?"

[maydaybrat.livejournal.com]

"Too loyal for my own good."

[not-one-drop.livejournal.com]

"Loyalty can be tricky."

[maydaybrat.livejournal.com]

"No shit."

[not-one-drop.livejournal.com]

"So what'd you do?"

[maydaybrat.livejournal.com]

"Made a promise to a woman that most of the bar wants to hung, draw and quarter."

[not-one-drop.livejournal.com]

"Huh."

Shrugs.

"Know the feeling. Why?"

[maydaybrat.livejournal.com]

"Because when I was nine and lost, she was the only one to find me."

[not-one-drop.livejournal.com]

"Can't be so bad, then."

[maydaybrat.livejournal.com]

"I don't think so. But, I'm biased."
