The Fourth Sin - Saturday Morning

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

With Miho gone, Becky actually felt a need to rise before midafternoon.

So when noon rolled around, she was in the lobby, sorting through their accounts and trying to remember all the math she'd learned before dropping out her sophomore year of high school.

[Here for someone in particular who wanted to talk to Becky, but open to all customers/Sin residents/etc. Am on SP until probably about 6 EST, unless my plans change, whee.]

"But asking involves talking!" Willow said, looking panicked. "And not asking involves rain and cabins and him looking really good in a wet shirt which normally would not be a big deal except, again, for the noble and honorable thing and how he might actually get forbidden from hanging out with somebody who's a big ol' ho. No offense."

"Why would I be offended?" Becky asked, puzzled. "Okay, is this guy like, a monk or something?"

She paused. "Is it the tall guy with the weird hair and the robe? He told me he's kind of like a monk."

"Anakin?" Willow guessed. "No. Not him. Um. But somebody like him. With, um, job requirements. I think. You know, like chivalry?"

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Is chastity a requirement?" Becky asked, inspecting her nails. "Chivalry's one thing. Not being allowed to do the deed is another."

"I don't know," Willow admitted. "I don't remember hearing about it before, but on the other hand when I - um - my friend asked if he had a kid he said no 'cause he's not married yet. Which could imply things."

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Maybe he just doesn't want kids until he's settled down."

Becky looked thoroughly disgusted by both the ideas of children and marriage.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Maybe," Willow agreed. "I mean it's not like I - um - she, is ready for any of that anyway."

"The girl in question's, what, sixteen or so?" Becky guessed, eyeing Willow. "She'd better not be. And if he's around the same age, and here of all places, and in a...relationship," again with the face-making, "then he probably just wants to have fun with...your friend...and not worry about marriage and all that crap."

Willow looked worried. "Do you think he's using her?"

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

Becky decided that this was why she shouldn't dispense advice.

Especially to teenagers.

Even if she was one herself.

"No more than any other high school kid uses another," she said. "Probably less so, since he's supposed to me some kind of chivalrous...knight or whatever."

"Okay," Willow said, looking relieved. She gave Becky a wry smile. "This is way easier when we're at the stage where we can jump right into spanking and handcuffs."

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

Becky stared at her.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"What?"

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"You don't look the type," Becky shrugged. "You kinda remind me of myself, when I was your age. I used to work the guys who wanted the innnocent-looking girl. Want a job?"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Oh, you need help with research or computers?" Willow guessed.

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"No, that's why we have Jarod," Becky said.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Oh," Willow said. "Magic, then?"

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"If you want that to be your schtick. Dally's a cowgirl. We have a costume for it. Don't see why you can't be a witch," Becky said thoughtfully. "'Course, you're underage but it's not like anyone checks."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Oh!" Willow said, suddenly getting it. "Um. No. But thank you. I think I'd be better in some other retail related field."

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Your loss," Becky shrugged. "You'd probably be good at it. Which is a compliment, and not an assessment of your ho-ness, or anything."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"That's very nice of you," Willow said. "Thanks. Not that the costumes don't sound like a lot of fun."

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Eh." Becky looked her over. "So, you think you have enough advice for...your friend, or will she still be confused?"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"I think I have enough for now," Willow said, gathering her things. "Thank you very much!"

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Right," Becky said, waving. "Let us know if you change your mind about the job!"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Maybe if I get dumped again," Willow said, half-seriously. "I could see that being the sort of thing that'd make me give up on any sort of real relationship with guys."
