[IOU RP] Making the Rounds (Hanna + Jack)

[medigel]

"Good." He cleared his throat and repeated, "Good. Excellent." The more he thought of this as just another business venture or project, the easier it would be. "Then we will discuss this at a later time when neither of us have page duties." Yes. Very professional.

Normally Jack would have done the exact opposite of "rest easy"—and indeed he was far from relaxed about this plan—but he always felt better when being pro-active. The time to complain was up, and the time to be conniving was dawning. And perhaps, perhaps it would even be a little fun. He could certainly do worse for a partner. (Partner? Cohort? Accomplice? Girlfriend? Should he start actually practicing that word again?)

"Have fun avoiding a** spelunking," he said airily, the awkwardness gone as he went to refill his cup and get a fresh one for his superior. "I heard cavity searches can be killer." And at least for a little, he didn't mind imagining what the next week or so would hold.

The only thing he wouldn't look forward to would be compensation for Hanna's time; it was never a good idea to have a debt to someone.

Hanna flashed Jack one last smile as she moved toward the entrance way. She gave him a little salute and then disappeared down the hall, a nervous energy building in her chest. The tactician in her was enthralled by the idea of manipulating and tricking a group of manipulators and tricksters. And the other part of her, the one she sometimes stuffed down, was happy to have an excuse to be closer to someone she enjoyed being around.
