I don't think I've seen the full extent of her collection.

[use_everything]

It... is impressive. Notably impressive. The tech here is far behind what she's imported, but not lacking for creativity.

[failureisntachoice]

[ She's almost scared to ask, ] ...All well-used?

[use_everything]

Not... all.

It's not as though these things can be returned if one finds them not entirely to taste.

[failureisntachoice]

Too true. At least you have more uses for them now.

[use_everything]

... True.

It does leave open the question of what you might enjoy.

[failureisntachoice]

I'm still figuring that out. Cordelia's been a help in that.

[ And she's looking him over with the unspoken thought of whether he'd be helpful with that too. ]

[use_everything]

[He doesn't, at least, miss that look. He's hardly as formally educated, but a far, far cry from a stammering virgin.]

She does have a certain way. Though if you've the inclination, I might be of some use to you as well in that regard.

[failureisntachoice]

Yeah, I'd like that. [ And it'd be another chance for them to spend more time together. ] What are you plans for tonight?

[use_everything]

[His expression lights up a bit.]

Entirely at your command.

[failureisntachoice]

Entirely? [ There's a hint of mischief in her smile and she leans forward, elbows on the table. ]

[use_everything]

[He certainly doesn't lean back. Quite the opposite, brows raise and he straightens just a little in his own seat.]

I am a man of my word.

[failureisntachoice]

Think Cordelia will mind if you're here for a night then? [ Not that the other woman isn't welcomed, but she's aware of how little time the two of them have spent without Cordelia's supervision. ]

[use_everything]

I can send a message.

[It may take like. Five minutes.]

[failureisntachoice]

How about I send a message.

[ Since that will take five seconds. ]

[use_everything]

[He considers protesting. The moment after that terrible thought, he simply fishes out his comm and hands it over.]

[failureisntachoice]

[ She could pass it back and text Cordelia from her own. Instead she takes his and sends a message off, I'm borrowing Aral for the night. You know how to find us.

And she hands it back over to him, still on the message screen so he knows exactly what was sent. ]

[keep_nothing]

[ A few seconds later, a reply comes through: ]

Have fun you two! Please DO anything I WOULD do.

[use_everything]

[Is that a duck???

He. Just turns the comm back to Tex to see the reply.]

I believe that excludes horses and supporting a monarchy principle. I imagine all else is fair.

[failureisntachoice]

[ She snickers at the reply. ]

So no limits. We can't get up to too much with how limited my supplies are. I certainly don't have a horse or crown hidden anywhere.

[use_everything]

No loss there.

[failureisntachoice]

Didn't think so. [ Small pause then, ] The uniforms are in my room.

[ You know. In case he's interested in that. ]

[use_everything]

[There is quite the immediate, keen sharpening of interest here, floating on the embers of the last encounter. He pushes his chair back from the table.]

I've no objections at all. [Quite the opposite.] If it's your pleasure...

[failureisntachoice]

Oh good. I have your attention, [ she teases as she gets up from the table and leads the way. ]

I wouldn't have mentioned it otherwise, trust me.

[use_everything]

Of trust, that is absolutely assured.

[Is MORE than happy to follow.]
