Theodoric's of York - Friday Afternoon

So Jaina's war was over and that meant there needed to be celebrating. Of the spa day kind. Possibly with ice cream, but definitely pedicures and manicures and fuck it if they'd be ruined from training in a few days. Rose thumbed through the colours of nail polish. "So can I dare you to get your toes done in red and green for Christmas?" she asked, grinning a little.

"You can pick one color," Jaina said, half-laughing as she looked at the colors. Purple again was probably out. "I think both would get me mocked in ways I'm not looking forward to right now."

"Do you even have a roommate anymore?" Rose asked, playing with combinations of red and green. "Who else is going to mock you?"

"Uh," she said, looking really interested in nail polish suddenly, "it's a long story. I've been in England a lot this week." She was such a story tease.

Rose eyed her. "...England? What, you get a huge tea craving?"

One corner of her mouth turned up against her will. "Okay, fine, it's where John's stationed now."

See there was this half-smile thing going on, and Rose raised her eyebrows.

"Oh really?" she said, poking Jaina's shoulder. "Was this a booty call or something more grown-up?"

"I do not do booty calls," Jaina said dryly. "See, I even sound ridiculous saying it. We're sort of trying to work things out." That was probably the best way to put it.

"Everyone sounds ridiculous saying 'booty call'," Rose retorted. But she was totally grinning. "Really? When'd that happen?"

There was a pause cause, hey, it had been Jaina who'd been against the affair idea. "What happened to the wife?"

"She's the ex-wife now," she said, determined not to look at Rose because if she saw the grin she might start, too. "The divorce was finalized before I got there Wednesday. No affair."

Rose snickered. "So how much of an older man is he now?" she asked innocently.

"He's twenty-five. It's not that big an age difference," she assured her. "Till next week when he turns twenty-six. It's a good thing older men don't put me off." Oh, like it'd matter even if every other older guy was a huge turnoff to her, John was different.

Like Rose could talk about an interest in older men.

"Awwwww," she teased. "And so no affair means there was a booty call?" She had to ask. It was too much fun to see if Jaina would flail.

"I was there for three weeks, that is not a booty call," Jaina pointed out. "...Or it's a very long booty call."

"So the second?" Rose asked, settling on the sparkly green and pushing it towards Jaina."

Taking the bottle and deciding it worked, she shrugged. "We're sort of doing what we can with the time we have while we have it. So, not an affair, not a booty call, just... It's complicated."

"Cause that'll be different for you," she said lightly then glanced over. "You know I wouldn't be teasing if I wasn't totally happy for you, right?"

Okay, so that was mostly true.

"Yes you would," Jaina smirked at her. "But thanks. I'm just trying not to get too ahead of myself, you know?" She didn't think she could, honestly.

"Define 'ahead of yourself,'" Rose said, making a face. No, seriously, it sounded boring.

"I'm hesitant to even call him my boyfriend right now," she admitted. "Later on I'll catch a portal to England and if all goes well then, tomorrow I'll catch a portal back, but I'm not even going to worry about it until I get back tonight." See, complicated.

"I'm not even sure I can even make sense of that inmy head. What's the weather in England?" Rose asked. No, really, it was related. "Do you have something hot to wear?"

"It's April there. I have no idea what the weather is now. Do you mean something hot as in something warm, or something slutty?" Because if it was the latter...

"I meant hot like awesome and attractive and making him go all speechless when he sees it," Rose decided. "Which doesn't have to be the same as slutty. Also probably is more comfortable."

"Not that he hasn't seen in at least four years," she said, thinking about it. "Though, keep in mind it's an Air Force base. And there is nothing around that I'd even wear it to."

"You could wear it to see him," Rose said innocently.

"I could," she agreed. "He probably would appreciate it..." And not let her wear it for long, right.
