Re: All Together Now
Vonon's jaw dropped open as the Human female silently finished her drink, smoothed her clothing, and walked away. He blinked his eyes twice, in disbelief, before snapping his mouth closed and turning to Ikram.
"Well. I may have been ignored, but you, my friend..." Vonon pointed a well manicured, dull-clawed finger at Ikram, "...have just been blown off. Heh-heh."
Vonon looks back over his shoulder at the receeding female, then shrugs his shoulders, "Eh, she had that Scout vibe going, anyway; they all have that focussed 'I just want to be alone' stick up their butt. Say! That reminds me of that Scout Commander, at the combat training facility back on Cassandra -- the, uh, red-haired woman, remember? -- she had that fancy rapier, and kept bragging that nobody with a dinky little knife could ever get close enough to touch her with a blade? Heh-heh-heh-heh." Vonon gave his bark-like laugh.
"Remember, you finally challenged her to a fight -- her rapier against your dagger -- and as soon as the Instructor shouted 'begin!' you threw your dagger and nailed her in the chest! Heh-heh! Klono's hairy butt, how we all laughed! Heh-heh. Thank the Stars it was just a dull-edged practice blade. Still, it had to hurt..."
Vonon suddenly looks serious, and glares at Ikram, "I also remember, after she stalked out of the gym, you saying you were going to go appologize, and then I didn't see you again until next Morning Shift. You never did tell me...did you sleep with her?"
