Han comes out and sits in a chair beside her. He can't look at her this morning.

"Miss Satine, Ma'am? I wanted to say I'm sorry for all the trouble I keep causing you."

[madam-satine.livejournal.com]

*looks him over, slowly*
*sighs*

Trouble, is..."an aphrodesiac of life"
*is obviously quoting someone, and is a little "dreamy"*

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

He isn't sure what to make of this.

"Thanks for letting me stay last night. Bas says my ship is still in the usual place. I'll go there after my class."

He looks at the boards of the porch. "I'm really sorry about all the noise. I really thought he was dead. Are you okay? I remember you taking a tumble too."

[madam-satine.livejournal.com]

Im fine, thank you, Han...
*charming smile*

And if it wernt for Frank, I would let you stay... as often as you would like.

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

"I need to ask, just in case I'm not as wrong about the ship as I was about Bagoas, do you need anyone else to work? I know my records say sixteen, but that's just a guess. And I don't know how my world's year compares to yours."

*blinks*
*looks him over*

I dont know... *slightly amused look*
Do you have any skills?

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

"Plenty. No complaints yet. From anyone on either side of the money. Or from those who come freely."

[madam-satine.livejournal.com]

*leans forward, suggestive*
I havent heard commidations yet either...
and you *have* had half the staff....

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

"By my count it's two, and that's only a third." Han's almost got his trademark grin back on his face. "And neither of them have been pretty ladies like yourself."

[madam-satine.livejournal.com]

*runs a finger up his leg*
is it true what Ive heard? *sweetly lustful look*

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

"Depends on what you been hearing, ma'am. If you been hearring that my tongues as fast when it's not talking, that's true enough. And if you're asking about comparative anatomy, let's say I ain't mainstock human."

[madam-satine.livejournal.com]

*takes the liberty of cupping through his pants, trying to find out for herself*

Well.. Id say you're hired.... *slight squeeze*
but you still have to talk to Frank about it.

*backs off, looking far more interested then she should be*

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

"Frank and me, we aren't talkin too much. See, we both promised Bagoas we'd stay away from each other. So I've kinda been avoiding him."

He gives her his most charming smile. "But it's still really early, and I don't have to be on campus for hours."

[madam-satine.livejournal.com]

Id take you upstairs, but... my beds occupied. *slight smile*
Franks already at his new office. Go see him, if you want the job.

Come back with 1000 - and we'll see about getting you in the bed *winks*

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

"Let me check and see that I really do need it. If Bagoas is alive, then maybe, just maybe, I'm not stranded here, penniless."

He leans over and strokes her hair. "That's the case, we'll see. But I'm still grounded until next weekend."

[madam-satine.livejournal.com]

*leans into that touch, eyes fluttering shut for just a second*
*sighs*
I'm not going anywhere, darling.

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

"I'll definitely see what I can do. If I'm not put on a leash like a wayward toddler for being out all night."

Feeling very bold, Han steals a fast kiss.

[madam-satine.livejournal.com]

*lengthens the kiss a bit, moving a bit closer again*

leashes can be fun too... at least you always know your wanted, and protected... *odd look*

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

"See, darlin', you're thinking fun leashes. I'm talking about being turned into a naughty three-year old. I don't suppose anyone told Chewbacca where I was?"

[sheldonjsands.livejournal.com]

*comes out the front door in time to hear that last comment* And why would any of us do that?

[madam-satine.livejournal.com]

*turns to give Sheldon a beaming smile, but doesnt move away from Han at all*

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

"You know, I really don't know. Who are you?"

[sheldonjsands.livejournal.com]

Sheldon Jeffrey Sands.

And you're standing a mite close to my woman right now. Might want to see about that.

[madam-satine.livejournal.com]

*stays quite close to him*
Jewel might have? You should ask her.

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

He knows the signals well enough, and strokes her arm gently. "I will. She's a sweetheart, your Jewel. Not scared of anything."
