Vegas Strip [Wednesday night]

[texted3times]

It was their last evening in Vegas, so Eric had insisted on dinner (for Jaina) and a show (NOT Celine Dion) for him. Now they were walking through the crowds and waiting for the pirate show at Treasure Island to begin. Eric stopped short and glared at an Elvis impersonator in a sequined white jumpsuit.

"That's not at all what his hair looks like," he grumbled to Jaina.

"I try to tell them the same thing," Eric said, looking very put-upon, "and I get yelled at for making terrible puns."

"Yeah, I probably should have thought about my phrasing there," she realized, making a face.

"I promise not to turn you in to the American Vampire League for mocking my heritage," he said, winking.

[solo_sword]

"How sweet of you," she said teasingly. "And it was not mocking, it was being... uncareful."

"Oh please, please don't censor your words around me. It would make things so dull," Eric decided.

[solo_sword]

"Who said I was going to do that?" she said. "Anyway, I can't censor. I think my filter's broken."

"I prefer it that way," Eric assured her.

[solo_sword]

"I gathered," she said with a smile. "Because if you didn't, this might have been a really awkward trip."

"There would have been a lot less talking, for one," Eric agreed.

[solo_sword]

"And probably more glaring, some of me watching my neck because I don't know any better, and fewer pirates," she continued. "I like this way better."

[texted3times]

"Me too," Eric decided, leaning down to kiss her.

[solo_sword]

Seriously, any trip with this kind of kissing was one Jaina was not going to be regretting. "There'd probably be less of that, too," she murmured.

[texted3times]

"Well, probably," Eric replied. "Do we care that much about watching the wenches?"

[solo_sword]

"I find myself losing interest in the wenches," Jaina decided. "We'd better move on."

"We haven't spent nearly enough time in the hot tub," Eric decided, reaching for her hand.
