Okay, he's back. Jittery, (though he knows better than to show it,) and watching the bar from a place in the corner (where he can have his back to a wall) and fingers curled tight around his glass.

But he is here.

Fire eyes him.

"Jack, wasn't it? I didn't."

And then she and says, low and purring, "There was no 'hurt' last night."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_to_the_bone/]

"Oh, ew."

Jack rolls his eyes, and looks away.

Relieved.

[bright-burning.livejournal.com]

"Ew?"

She's hurt

"What a silly thing you are, Jack."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_to_the_bone/]

He can only hope.

"Now, why would they do that? I've been good."

She bats her eyelashes.

Totally innocent, yo.

"I probably could. But who says I need the brothel, Frost? I am able to find lovers on my own."

She tosses her head, and sits back, away from him.

Scorn, heavy in his voice.

[bright-burning.livejournal.com]

She half-glares.

"Honestly, brother. At least I am being polite."

He snarls, a little, but subsides.

It's something that must be born.

[bright-burning.livejournal.com]

It must.

She pulls a lighter out of her pocket, flicking it in her fingers.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_to_the_bone/]

Immediately thinking back to old acquaintances.

[bright-burning.livejournal.com]

"And what is he, then?"

She's curious.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_to_the_bone/]

He'll leave her to figure it out for herself.

[bright-burning.livejournal.com]

"Ah."

She hisses between her teeth, and nods.

"I see."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_to_the_bone/]

That means just what he makes it sound like.

[bright-burning.livejournal.com]

"You have interesting tastes, dear."

She eyes him.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_to_the_bone/]

He likes only the best.

[bright-burning.livejournal.com]

"I will make a note to meet him, then."

She nods, twisting a stand of hair around her finger, eyes far away.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_to_the_bone/]

Really.

[bright-burning.livejournal.com]

"There's nothing wrong with him."

She shrugs.

"And I was in the mood."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_to_the_bone/]

Frost? No.

[bright-burning.livejournal.com]

"Well perhaps he has the right idea."

She tosses her hair, calm in her arrogance.

"You could learn from him."
