Eric's Apartment [evening. Of course it's evening. It's *always* evening with Eric]

[texted3times]

After time drinking, watching Tiny mutter to himself, and making light chitchat with Jaina, it was time to get the entire story out of her--or at least as much as she was willing to tell him.

"After you," he said, opening his door (he didn't lock because really. If you tried to rob Eric, you deserved what you got) and ushering her in.

"Who wants to be good at that?" Eric asked, making a face.

[solo_sword]

"Who wants to be bad at anything?" Jaina countered.

[texted3times]

"Losers?" Eric tried.

[solo_sword]

"Pretty sure that's still not an ambition for them," she laughed.

[texted3times]

"Depends on the loser," Eric mused. "Sookie's brother might strive for it..."

[solo_sword]

"But since I don't know him I'm going to say my point stands," she said, patting his knee.

[texted3times]

"You are not missing anything," Eric declared.

[solo_sword]

She let her hand stay on his knee (in a friendly way!- There wasn't much to do with her hands, okay?) and said, "Oh, good. I wouldn't want to be disappointed by not having met him."

[texted3times]

"Only if you were really looking forward to picking up some kind of communicable disease," Eric said. "Pretty sure that boy has slept with every available female--and some who weren't--in a three county area."

[solo_sword]

"That's gross," she decided. And then hoped that wasn't offensive to the guy who'd probably racked up a way higher number than that over a millennia.

[texted3times]

At least he wasn't Salome?

"It is," Eric said. "I have taste."

Well, compared to Jason, at least.

[solo_sword]

You almost had to give that girl credit.

"So you haven't slept with all the women in three counties? Good to know."

[texted3times]

"Two tops," Eric said, grinning.

[solo_sword]

"I feel so honored to be among all that company," she teased.

[texted3times]

"You should," Eric said, tapping her on the nose.

[solo_sword]

"You are such a brat," she laughed.

She really did like calling him that.

[texted3times]

"I passed brat 700 years ago," Eric declared.

[solo_sword]

"And I've had reason to call you that enough to say that's a fib," Jaina said. "Be glad I didn't break out the Swedish."

The whole one word she knew.

[texted3times]

Eric snorted. "All one word of it?"

[solo_sword]

"That one word has really been all I've needed so far," she pointed out.

[texted3times]

"I could teach you all of the really filthy words, too," Eric offered.

[solo_sword]

"I'm amazed you haven't already," she said honestly.

[texted3times]

"Maybe you just weren't paying attention when I was saying them," Eric offered.

[solo_sword]

"When were you saying them?" she asked.

[texted3times]

"After we broke the bed, definitely," Eric said.
