"Oh, thank you. They're Wash's favorite pair. He loves it when I wear them."
All smiles.

Clerise's bitter mood evaporated at the sight of her fair lady. She returned the pistol and a wink with a double pistol and wink of her own, and proceeded to sing the song of her people via eyebrow. Hers was mostly Jesus Christ, how did I get so lucky.
The redhead caught sight of a certain petite Lifer, and as she approached her-- and that tall, handsome dude, who the ******** was that, Sasha has amazing taste.
Instead, she nudged Sasha's arm with her own. "Hey whirligirl. Long time no see, huh?" She nodded once at Candace, once at Handsome Dude, and coolly ignored Dakota. That ******** wouldn't get a word from her, now or ever.
Sasha's tone abruptly warmed, and she drew the taller woman in for a hug and a light peck on the cheek.
"I haven't seen you in a long time. We should talk soon. I could use your advice on a few... personal things."
She cleared her throat. "This is Wash." It was probably a wonder that so much possessiveness could be contained in such a slight woman. "He's mine."
The last was said to nobody in particular.
"I was just telling Candace how lovely she looks," Sasha finished with a very pointed look at the other woman's shoes.

The demise of the boombox made her both relieved and a little sad; she'd just started to like the bad recorder music since it helped her mood. Her phone vibrated twice more, and as Stormy read the texts she felt a new wave of nerves come over her. Was she sweating a bit? She was probably sweating by now.

Text to Gale You always would be, wouldn't you?
Maybe that wasn't a fair question.
Stormy dared to carefully scan the room--Tuck was with someone else she assumed to be Heidi, and boy did she need to talk to her brother about that--until she found Gale once more, in that gray suit and vest, and the tie, and she had to stare curiously for a bit to embed the image in her mind because she didn't want to forget it any time soon: Gale in a suit calling her lovely and beautiful. Her cheeks started to warm.
There was an extra pair of legs besides...in a suit that was...oh God. Bix, who's the charmer now? She had to type half of the next message with one hand because the other was hiding a small smile.

Text to Gale Your suit suits you, and I really like it. Tell Bix his timey wimey one is excelle
Stormy ended up hitting 'enter' instead of a letter when a hand suddenly clasped her shoulder and made her jump; she'd been so intent on the message...Fumbling so the phone didn't fall from her hands, she turned to see Ofelia in a rather gorgeous dress addressing her. "Patches!" she cooed. "I-I didn't know if you'd be coming. You look beautiful." Her own semi-floral dress felt like child's play in comparison.

Candace chuckled. "How sweet of you to wear them. You're a very lucky man, Wash." She lifted her hand to kiss the back of Dakota's hand, giving the man a genuine smile. "I'm going to go see everyone else. I'll see you later," she promised him with an affectionate squeeze of his hand before she released him, moving to give Molly another kiss to her cheek. "You too, sweetheart."
Clerise arrived and was definitely given a warmer welcome than Sasha. "Hello, Clerise. You look lovely! I've never seen you in a dress before," Candace sincerely complimented the woman after giving her a quick once over.
She then turned to Sasha. "I'll see you later. It was nice chatting with you, Sasha." About as nice as a bite from a rattle snake. With one last polite wave to everyone she stepped away and wandered off, rolling her eyes now that her back was turned.

Harrison got suddenly preoccupied with his tie.
"I was saving this suit," he answered Rep, still gruff.

The destruction of the boombox earned a sigh of genuine relief from Mimsy, followed by the tiniest quirk of a smile when she heard someone calling Solia away from them. These new developments meant that the situation was marginally improving, but was still not the most optimal.
Still not even close.
She anxiously tapped her thumb against her thigh and glanced briefly towards the two she didn't know yet: one appeared to be plugging her ears with a necktie, which presumably belonged to the second stranger, if his comment was any indication. She sympathized at the lowest possible level. She also wanted to stuff cloth accessories into her ears on occasion, though it was usually a scarf.

At least Sasha wasn't a c**t who fraternizes with the enemies.
"Absolutely, my friendship circles have been kind of small, lately." She grinned at Wash, and didn't even offer her hand for shaking, and just grinned at him like a fiend. "Hi Wash. Wow, you're like the ********' Aston Martin to her previous junker. Nice to meet you."
What, do you touch a dragon's prized possession? The correct answer is: No. No, you do not.
She turned to look at Candace-- whose points had dropped like a stone due to her partner-- and abruptly snorted with a fearsome giggle.
"Woah, it looks like she got a giant's j**z on them. Wonder if...shee neeeds a rag, or something? Will it even come off?"
"I'm really starting to think we should just grab a weekend and go do it before something else comes up," Jordan said thoughtfully.

"Yes, excuse me doctor, I forgot how very pale and not British you were," said Gale dryly, with a roll of his eyes. But he nudged Bix's shoulder back with his own, feeling somewhat secure with someone else to lean on and keep him away from his own inner turmoil of thoughts.
His phone buzzed, making him jump a little. Reaching into his suit jacket, he pulled it out and read the new texts.
His heart leapt, then dropped again because what was that supposed to mean. Clearing his suddenly dry throat, Gale took a deep, steadying breath, trying to focus on the matter at hand.
He typed out a very short message.
Ol-j-man
Text to Stormy: Always.
Then he hit send before he could stop himself and read the second text beneath the first. A small smile played at the corners of his lips, Gale smoothing a thumb across the screen.
"Stormy says she likes your suit," he told Bix, and wrote out another message.
Ol-j-man
Text to Stormy: Thank you. I would tell you that you look lovey, but since I've already done that, I'll just be quiet about it now.
Whoops. Was that too forward? Gale hastily tucked the phone away, trying to act casual.
"Ceres coming tonight?"

Harrison got a fleeting uncomprehending look for an instant. This was about keeping a suit in good condition? Was it money? They could perma rent more if they had -
Oh.
He felt suddenly guilty as if a lot of the avoiding discussing things had been his fault. It wasn't that he hadn't thought about it, he thought about them every ******** day in life. But it was so huge, it needed to be so perfect that it just turned him to stone with dread.
"..Ah." he said, confidence seeming to dip several levels in the space of a single word, Jordan's addition made his pulse kick up even further. Surely they couldn't just do that? It wouldn't be. It wouldn't. It wouldn't reflect. But he wanted it done too. He didn't know what to say, so he said nothing.

Sasha giggled, and probably even preened a little when Clerise complimented Wash. "Isn't he handsome?"
Did that question even require a response? Hell no, it didn't.
Clerise's second comment had Sasha outright laughing. "I didn't want to hurt her feelings. The dress is nice, though." For a whore.
Sasha took a moment to glance between Dakota and Clerise. She refrained from saying anything, but she did slightly lift her brows in Clerise's direction.
Bix didn't know stormy caught the Dr. Who ref but he'd totally love her more if he did know.
"Wot wot? She's gawt good taste, ya?" He parroted at Gale in a very poor, slightly cockney-chimney sweep accent. He then tiptoe-peered over the crowd until he saw Stormy looking all cute. He gave her an enthusiastic wave.
Back to Gale he grinned and elbowed him just a little. "Textin Stormy eeeehhhh?" Wink wink wink blink wink blink.
"Oh uh yeah I think she's coming. She's slow."

"It's an interestin' somethin' is what it is," Tuck grunted in response to the dress his sister was wearing. Where the ******** she'd even gotten something like that was beyond him, and he was keeping a real close eye on you, Jerry. A real close eye.
When Heidi did the little kiss thing with her finger, Tuck started grinning again. If that was what he was getting now, that meant that there was hope for what might happen later.
When they weren't near his sister, because he didn't trust her not to ruin s**t. He loved her, he did, but she was the best saboteur he'd ever met.
"Not really," she said, eyeing Candace up and down as she left. "It's incredibly plain."
A cocked head back at Sasha. "Ah, well. Sometimes you think you know someone, and you don't, y'know? They've got different priorities," a glance at Mimsy, turned into a death stare that remained a constant presence for two solid minutes, "and a decision has to be made.
