Oh, come on. Hunting pirate treasure? You're a total romantic.

[withmeinparadise]

Pirate treasure. You know, the stuff that makes you a millionaire.

[evocation]

[She lets out a little pfft.]

You're telling me you only care about those stories 'cause of the money?

[withmeinparadise]

I'm telling you that if you're looking for the romantic Drake, Nathan's a dozen floors down.

[evocation]

Eh, no thanks. Not my type. Also, you're a liar.

[Maybe he's not a stereotypical romantic, but fantasizing about pirate treasure and adventure definitely makes him a kind of romantic.]

[withmeinparadise]

[ He laughs. ]

Never said I wasn't. What's wrong with Nathan?

[evocation]

There's nothing wrong with him, he's just... you know. Not my type.

[withmeinparadise]

So what's your type?

[evocation]

Uh... I don't know. Be more specific.

[withmeinparadise]

...More specific?

[evocation]

Like, what? Looks? Personality?

[Maybe she's stalling a little.]

What's your type?

[withmeinparadise]

Both?

[ how is this hard ]

I asked first.

[evocation]

Uh... I don't know. I don't date a lot? I kind of suck at it. I usually stick to like... you know. One night stands. But telling you my type for that is kind of different, right?

[withmeinparadise]

So tell me for one-night stands.

[ Because let's be real here, he doesn't date a lot, either. ]

[evocation]

Um... I don't know. Charismatic, funny, not a creep? Muscles are good, on guys or girls. And I like when people are a lot taller than me.

[withmeinparadise]

You got good taste.

[ Please don't let that be hope coming through his hand, some stupid heartened sensation at the fact that she basically just described him. (Good thing she doesn't appear to care about modesty.) ]

[evocation]

Thanks.

[Kyna, a moron, is oblivious to the fact that she just described him.]

What about yours?

[withmeinparadise]

[ He sorta shrugs. ]

Eh, I'm not too picky. Helps if she's pretty, though.

[evocation]

[She wrinkles her nose, unimpressed.]

That's it?

[withmeinparadise]

Eh. [ what're you looking for, kyna, a novel here ] I mean, it'd be nice if we had a good conversation beforehand, but it ain't exactly...y'know, we used to move a lot.

[evocation]

What about, like... personality?

[withmeinparadise]

I like 'em feisty. [ That, at least, is an easy thing to call. ] Someone knows what she likes and goes for it? That's my kinda girl.

[evocation]

[Her head tilts, considering.]

Okay, better.

[withmeinparadise]

[ He laughs a little. ]

I don't do a lotta the dating thing, either. Not a lotta reason to get picky about someone I'm never gonna see again.

[evocation]

Yeah, I guess so. You moved around that much?
