Louis watched with detached amusement. Poor Eddie seemed embarrassed as hell, and he found it hilarious, because poor Eddie wasn't exactly lucky with the ladies.
He let Katherine out, picking up a second headset for the second radio to listen in.
"She painted over the Pandora." Louis said, almost is disbelief. If anyone was in disbelief though, it was Sparks. In addition to being the radio operator, he was the mechanic for almost everything that made her run. In short, Pandora was his baby.
"You give her hell, girl." Sparks said to Katherine over the private channel. Then he muted the headset, turning to Louis.
"What's her name again?" he asked. "I think it was Katherine or something." Louis said, shrugging, still with an amused smile on his face.
Unknowing to Katherine, Louis heard everything, and laughed, thankful his headset wasn't transmitting.
"You sure know how to pick 'em, Sparks." he said, making Eddie stutter like mad as he relayed orders to the crew inside the hanger to get ready for docking, then telling Katherine she was safe to dock.
Louis took off the headset, leaning on the table that held the radios as Kat came in and sat on Eddie's lap, further adding to his embarrassment.
"I-I uh, no, n-not long." he managed to stammer, looking around Kat to Louis, a pleading look on his face.
Louis just managed to keep in his laugh.

Katherine smiled, watching Eddie amusedly, he was so easy to make nervous it was almost comical. She hugged him close to her, his face almost burried in her chest, and kissed his forehead before getting up off of him. She smoothed down her skirt, not wanting to flash something she didn't want to.
"Well that was fun....now Pandora is pink sadly enough...sorry Eddie." Katherine frowned, feeling a little bad for him. She didn't really like the color pink either.
The new guy was interresting though, she turned to him and gave him a smoldering, shadow eyed wink.
"So, comment ca va?" His accent gave him away to her.

Eddie coughed nervously, heading back to his work. Louis on the other hand continued to grin, which hid his surprise when the girl spoke French.
"Un Francais?" [A Frenchman/woman] he asked casually. He had caught her accent but thought little about it.
"Unexpected." he added in English. He was equally good in both languages, but he felt like half-including Eddie into their conversation.
"I thought I was the only one here."

Jenny spent her time rather childishly, after completing the few tasks she had been given { grocery shopping…} She flounced and flirted with almost every person she could find, having a ball of a time with the pilot who also had time this early in the day for enjoyment. In the pit of her heart she wanted to go to the brothel, but knew only to well how they took to medusa’s there. With a pitiful sighed she walked back out into the street striding confidently over the cobble stones.
“It’s not my fault if their so easy to kidnap… “ She muttered under her breath. What she wouldn’t give for a man friend who wasn’t sick and didn’t want to kill her. Or maybe just a male prostitute who didn’t give her a rash, and a cough. She had been given one as a gift once by one of her fellow pilots and it was truly one of the most horrifying experiences of her life.
None of the dancing halls were open at this time in the morning, they all opened in the late afternoon and stay busy all night until early morning, and that is what she wanted to do. But she had radio duty tonight and so she would not be able to dance the night away.

Katherine winked and snapped her fingers together. He'd thought he was the only one...
"Oui, je suis une francais. You aren't the only one here." [Yes, I am a Frenchwoman.] Katherine grinned and looked towards Eddie who had gone back to his work. Smoothing down her skirt, Katherine looked around the radio room and frowned.
"There is nothing fun to do here right now....I'm bored out of my skull." Katherine frowned, pouting just slightly. Maybe it was still too early.

"Joli de te rencontrer." [Nice to meet you.] Louis said, extending a hand. "Louis Cartier, up to this point, resident French-man and all around ladies man, if I do say so myself." he introduced himself as. Sparks suppressed a snort of laughter.
"And that's because its still early. Only things to do around here are wander, head out for a flight, wander, or play a game of cards with the other early risers, in the lounge." he said casually.

Katherine smiled and took Louis' hand, shaking it. She giggled, listening to his French. It'd been awhile since she'd actually talked to anyone in her language.
"Joli de te rencontrer aussi." [Nice to meet you too.] Katherine smiled, and laughed at his own description.
"Ladies man eh? Well, I am Katherine Morceau....a French woman and I like to have a lot of fun." She winked at him, smiling when she heard Eddie's 'comment'.
"It is early acutally...I was not expecting to get up around this time...what a shame I couldn't get my beauty rest." She shook her head, 'tsking' at herself.

Louis shook her hand firmly, as he usually did to anyone. "I knew it was Katherine something." he said, to both of them.
"So, where exactly? I recognize that accent, just faintly." he said. In fact, he had a pretty good guess. If she wasn't République, then he wasn't French.
He motioned out the door. "Lets leave Eddie to his work, shall we?" he added before she could answer.

Katherine smiled and was about to answer his question when he'd opted to leave Eddie alone. Before she was prance out of the radio room, she walked up behind Eddie and kissed him on the cheek, her fingers lingering on his neck.
"I'll see you later." She whispered in his ear before she did exactly what she'd do, she pranced out of the radio room, a bounce in her step.
"Republique by the way....but I guess you already knew that." Katherine smiled, leaning against one of the walls, one foot propped up against it.

Louis nodded. "I had guessed something to that effect." he said truthfully. "Louisiane, here. Or at least it used to be." he said, shrugging. "It'll be a while before I get used to calling it French Louisiana." he explained, motioning down the hall. He had gotten sidetracked twice already, he planned to head to the lounge this time.
He needed a drink, and besides, he hated standing still.

Katherine smiled and fell into step with Louis, where they were headed she wasn't exactly sure but they were probably going to the lounge that she could tell.
"Louisiane hm? Interresting....I've never been there myself though I've always wanted to." She looked down at the toes of her boots making sure they weren't scuffed up or anything like the sort.
"What made you want to become a Fortune Hunter if you do not mind my asking that is."

Louis coughed to clear his throat. This wasn't a story he usually told, because everyone that needed to know, knew. But Kat was a Fortune Hunter, and thus, needed to know.
"People's Collective did." he said. "Shot me and Dad straight out of the sky."
He decided to explain in full. "Me and my family, we're a family of fliers. Dad's a pilot, I'm a pilot, Mom's an aircraft mechanic. Dad and I used to fly for an air mail company in Louisiana. Then, for some reason, while we were over the People's Collective, I guess they took us as a threat. Their airforce came up and knocked us clean out of the sky. Ever since, Dad and I wanted revenge. He did the noble thing, joining the Louisiana militia. Me, I wanted a more lucrative, more dangerous life style. I didn't want to be bound by codes of honour, military practises, none of that crap. So, I pretty well forced the Fortune's to let me join. They had no choice, really, when my plane's already hanging from their docking hook and being pulled aboard."

Katherine smiled and nodded at all the right places, his story was interresting to say the least and it entertained her. While they'd been walking along, the came up on the lounge, Katherins topped and smiled at him, he'd reached the end of his story.
"That's....interresting really. I actually didn't think you'd tell me but alright." She grinned, walking into the lounge with a shake of her hips. She chose a plush seat and plopped down on it, her long legs crossed neatly.

"Well, pourqouis pas?" Louis asked as they entered, heading immediately for the bar area.
"Can I get you a drink?" he said before pouring himself a glass of water.
"Anyways, why not? Everyone around here knows, it's no big secret or anything." he continued, grabbing a second glass and leaning against the bar, waiting to see if she wanted anything.

"Parce que....je ne sais pas." Katherine giggled and looked at her nails for imperfections. There weren't any of course but she wanted to look anyway. When Louis asked if she wanted a drink, she smiled.
"You've yet to earn the honor to have a drink with me as of yet monsieur." She winked coyly at him and smiled.
