Morning!Quinn Part 2

[broadsword_babe]

{Previously}

Quinn could hear the lesson behind the words, and it wasn't lost on her. Sometimes she laid in bed at night wondering if Wade was alright, if Scotty had gotten a scholarship to CU like he'd wanted, if Erin and her beau were still together, whether it was worse leaving or being left...

"Thing is, I can't undo the past," she sighed. "But at least Immortality gives me a chance to set it right."

She might've been talking about Wade, or Adam, or something else entirely.

Quinn grinned. "To us, then, and Rabbie, God rest him. He was definitely... interesting."

Of course Burns' reputation wasn't nearly as extensive as Byron's, but he'd still had a way with the ladies. Her eyes sparkled with mischief as she took a sip of the pint.

It wasn't quite what she was expecting. True that it was rich and full, but there was also a hint of...

"Fuck me!" she exclaimed, surprised. "S'got chocolate in it!"

"Are you serious?" He says as he looks at her beer oddly and he's not talking about the 'fuck me' statement. He's pretty sure that she wasn't proposing anything with that.

"Here, have a taste!" she laughed, pushing the pint towards him.

Quinn wasn't sure whether to be glad he'd let the comment go, or vaguely disappointed he hadn't said something cheeky in return. Maybe he didn't feel that way towards her after all. Maybe that was a good thing. She didn't need her life to be complicated. Did she?

He brings the pint to his lips and takes a sip. He then grins at her as he repeats her statement, "Fuck me!"

[broadsword-babe.livejournal.com]

"See! I told you!" she laughed, and then leaned closer to his ear. "But I didn't think you were the type of bloke for public exhibitions."

Of course, that's said with a teasing smirk.

"I can be when the mood calls for it. I actually didn't take you as one. You didn't even want to dance on Nero's grave."

[broadsword-babe.livejournal.com]

Quinn raised an eyebrow, and took a sip of her pint.

"Well, there's a difference between dancing on a grave and skinny-dipping in a neighbour's lake."

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

"So, you've been skinny dipping in a neighbor's lake?"

[broadsword-babe.livejournal.com]

"Not lately," she admitted with a mischievous smile. "But yeah."

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

"So, soon. I'm intrigued."

[broadsword-babe.livejournal.com]

"Soon?" she echoed, confused. "Unless you were planning on jumping into the sea starkers, there's no 'soon' about it. That's about the closest thing I have to a lake."

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

"I might. Look at all of the water right outside. You might be surprised."

[broadsword-babe.livejournal.com]

"You might be, too," she laughed. "It's not exactly Bora Bora out there. Bit cold for my taste. Personally, I prefer a good hot tub."

That could've been an invitation, or a simple statement of fact.

"So, how's your pint?"

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

"You have one, so if that is an invitation then I might take you up on it."

"It's...nutty."

[broadsword-babe.livejournal.com]

"It could be, but that depends..."

Yes, she was flirting, and it'd be a cold day in hell before she admitted it.

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

He sat up a bit in his chair, "Oh, really? What would that depend on?"

[broadsword-babe.livejournal.com]

"Should it be clothing optional or mandatory?" she asked with a cheeky smirk. "Gods know I could get myself into a lot of trouble if it was optional."

It took her a second to realize that her mouth had gotten the better of her, again. She quickly covered her blush by taking another sip of beer.

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

He laughs, "You could get in trouble if it was optional, yes."

[broadsword-babe.livejournal.com]

"Right, mandatory it is then. No sense in getting into too much trouble right off."

She smiled to herself. Maybe there was something between them after all.

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

"Now is that Mandatory to be naked or not naked?"

[broadsword-babe.livejournal.com]

"Let's start with not. Probably safer that way."

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

"I don't know about that. I find myself more attracted to the tease of what is below."

[broadsword-babe.livejournal.com]

Her only answer was a raised eyebrow. So, he liked to be teased, did he?

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

"And that's it." He says as he takes another drink but swaps it out for something red.

[broadsword-babe.livejournal.com]

Quinn nodded as she finished off her own pint.

"Not bad, this," she said, then waited for the barkeep to move off before continuing. "No Nazis, no running, just th'two of us having a nice chat."
