"I hadn't noticed," T.J replied with a smile of her own. "I think you look quite exquisite."
Her heart stopped. The words had slipped out without her realizing. Her eyes, already magnified behind her glasses, went wide.
"S-sorry."

The was a laugh from the other side of the table.
"Too late!" Vee giggled, both her spirits and her eyes lifted. "It's already gone to my head!"
She puffed out her chest and batted her eyelashes at T.J. "So what was it? The girls? The muscles? Or just the whole package?"
"And, um," she continued far less boisterously, her squared shoulders falling slack as her face filled with color, "you look really nice too. I like your hair. It's cute."

"O-oh. It... is it?"
Now it was T.J's turn to blush. "My friend enjoys joking that I change it too much. Err... perhaps I do. There's so many color combinations available and it's fun and... gosh. I'm getting ahead of myself."
Large brown eye's met Vee's, and she felt her cheeks grow even warmer. "Thank you, Vee. It... it means a lot to me that you like it."
She then risked a glance down. Just a quick one.
It was certainly the whole package.

Vee smiled. It was not her usual grin, wide and aggressive and wolfish, but a smaller, warmer one. She reached over the table and flicked a stray strand of T.J.'s hair. "Ya really do like it, huh, luv? Well... I like that! You're cure when you're happy."
"And now that we're done with the sweet stuff," she continued, voice lowering to a conspiratorial whisper as she leaned in, giving T.J. a better view down her deep cut shirt, the mischievous width returning to her grin, "you got a really nice rack too."

It took enormous concentration for T.J to keep her eyes leveled with Vee's, to the point that she became self conscious of staring. "Th-thank you," she said again, feeling her face growing hotter by the second. She was grateful her brown skin lessened the effect. "Your a-ass... assets are also very imp-impressive."

Vee laughed. It was a high, clear sound like a bell. It was not a lough laugh, but it seemed to carry throughout the cafe, turning quite a few heads.
"Thanks, luv! But I thought you were gonna say ass. I would be flattered, but... well, I'm flatter down there!" she explained, giggling at her own pun.

"I-I'm afraid I haven't had the chance to look," said T.J before she could stop herself. Now not even her darker skin could hide the blush forming in her cheeks. She needed to change the subject before she made a further fool of herself.
"Y-you mentioned you have friends in Farrago? What are they like?"

Vee could not resist a chuckle at T.J.'s expense. "It's not much to look at, dove, but I bet you'll get your chance. My mates, huh? They're great. Well, one is. He's a real sweetheart. Smart as a whip too. Sorta spineless, but in a cute way. Cept when it comes to my other mate anyway. He's head over heels for her. Hell, both of em are, but they jus don't want to stop fucking around and... well, fuck. They do a lot of pussyfooting around it. And he never says a word when she gets on my case."
The taller woman sighed. She seemed irritated. "She's a real bitch, I tell ya. A bitch you want on your side, but still a bitch. S'why I had a fight with her. Least she's got an ass worth looking at. It's like she sat on two basketballs."

"I'm sorry to hear that," T.J said, trying not to let the mental image based on Vee's description distract her from the conversation. "I can't say I have as much animosity within my own group. I don't know if I'd be able to stand someone like that."
She looked up at Vee suddenly. "The, err, sweetheart you mentioned. Is he the one who likes snakes?"

"Yep," Vee answered through a bite of her sandwich. She continued after swallowing. "Alex. He likes snakes and Sam. And... other stuff. He was built for this place. Always finds something to be excited about. Sort of like you, luv. Maybe not physically though. He's a scrawny shit."
A coal-like eye winked. "But you're built just the way I like, dove."

Even as the heat returned to her face, T.J was grateful that she had just taken a bite of her sandwhich. In the time it would take to swallow she could formulate a response without stuttering or tripping over her own tongue.
"Then the feeling is mutual, conejita," she said, giving Vee her best closed smile. She hoped it made an impression.
"It sounds as though Alex would get along with one of my friends. She's... quite easily excitable as well, in her own way."

Vee giggled, her tanned cheeks dimpling as she grinned at T.J. "I like when you flirt back, dove. And that'd be nice. Oi, maybe we could have a double date! Your mate open to that sorta thing?"

T.J pinched her chin between her thumb and forefinger as she thought. "Kyra... she's never expressed an interest in dating. Although I suspect that she's not opposed to the idea itself – more likely it simply hasn't crossed her mind."
She smiled. "But with any luck that could change some day. Another friend of mine is interested in her. She hasn't yet admitted it, but it's hard not to notice. I'm surprised Kyra hasn't noticed either."

"Oh."
Vee clucked her tongue. A small, slow smile possessed her face.
"Then maybe we should trade mates for a day instead. See what's drives us crazier: one person not noticing or both people not admitting it."

"Gosh," was all T.J managed to say before she let out a laugh at the thought. "I'm afraid you might win that bet. I would be rendered mad trying to understand why neither party would admit their feelings. Do you think they're open to advice at least? I hope to help my own friend if she ever confesses to me."
Her eyes went wide. "If she confesses about her feelings for Kyra! N.. not me; oh gosh, I should learn to think before I speak."

Vee faked a sob, though she was still smiling broadly. "Cheating on me before we've even had our first date? You're heartless, dove!"
"Well, Alex would probably be," she continued after a short giggle, real somberness entering her voice and shrinking her smile, "but not Sam. She's fuckin stubborn. You know, she'd be pissed to hear it, but I bet she's scared. She's real frigid, so I bet she's never had a guy before. Bet she doesn't know what to do and is too bullheaded to ask. She really pisses me off sometimes. She's got someone who loves her, but keeps him away for... some fuckin reason."

"That sounds unfortunate," T.J nodded sadly. "But I'm sure she has her own reasons. It sounds as though she's not comfortable being open, gosh, I know a woman like that. I think perhaps patience is the best course of action. Allow her the time to work things out. And with any luck, perhaps she will."
T.J stopped to finish the remains of her sandwich. "Thank you for this breakfast, Vee. I can not thank you enough for your generosity."
She smiled. "I think we've both had a spot of good fortune today."

Vee's smile returned in full. A handful of crumbs from her own sandwich, finished a few minutes earlier, were stuck between her teeth. "Hell yeah, I did! I'm glad I met you, dove. So, uh... I guess we're done here, ay? Um... library now? Or we could go ahead to the airship platform I guess."

"I do have a few books I was looking to borrow," said T.J, finishing her drink before she lead the way out. "I'm hoping to learn Daisparch. Not that I expect to be meeting a daemon anytime soon, but from what I could gather they have an interesting culture."

"I 'eard they fuck all the time," Vee said, voice muffled as she picked her teeth clean. After flicking something from her fingertip, she smirked at T.J. "Is that what yer into? Cause ya don't have to go far to find that."
