Dealing with the Opposite Sex, Friday, Period 2, Class #3

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

"Today, we learn about flirting," Vala told the class as they entered, bouncing a little. "It's a surprisingly useful skill, and valuable in both professional and personal contexts. The problem is how to get good at it--it's innate for some," she smirked over at Jack, "but others of you will have to work at it."

"Unfortunately, the only way to get good at flirting is to practice--so that's what I want you to do today, with as many people from the class as possible. Remember that it should be light and fun and teasing. If you can't breeze your way through a conversation, you'd be amazed how far some good old fashioned interest can get you."

"Oh, and if I hear one bad pick-up line, you have to go stand on your head in the corner."

"I might be waiting for the right girl to come and save me," he replied, leaning forward and smiling at her innocently.

There might even be a bit of eyelash fluttering going on.

Jo was perfectly straight-faced, really. "You should be careful. Your virtue might be in danger."

"With you here to keep me safe?" He pressed one hand to his heart. "Never."

"It is a girl's duty to help keep a young man such as yourself's virtue safe," Jo sighed dramatically. "And such a taxing one too."

Jack bit back a laugh. "And you have my gratitude." He looked down demurely. No, really. Demurely. "Is there any way I could possibly thank you?"

"I could think of a few things," Jo said, rubbing her chin thoughtfully.

There was definitely eyelash fluttering going on now, and Jack rested his chin in his hands and looked up at her, wide-eyed and hopeful. "Really? Because I'd do anything to thank you."

Jo raised her eyebrows. "Anything?"

"Why, Jo," Jack fluttered his lashes again. "I'd almost think you had something in mind."

Re: Talk to the TA

[wannabehunter]

"Whatever could give you that impression?" Jo asked, her expression just as innocent as Jack's.

Re: Talk to the TA

"Just a feeling," he replied, leaning a little closer.

Re: Talk to the TA

[wannabehunter]

"Why, Jack," Jo said, leaning a little closer herself. "Are you suggesting I might have designs on your virtue?"

Re: Talk to the TA

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"I think you might," he replied, a tiny grin sneaking out. "I think you might have designs on all sorts of things."

Re: Talk to the TA

[wannabehunter]

"Damn, you've found me out," Jo shook her head woefully. Ignore the grin. "What gave it away?"

Re: Talk to the TA

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Wishful thinking," he replied, laughing softly. "I was hoping you had designs on my virtue. I didn't think I'd be so lucky."

Re: Talk to the TA

[wannabehunter]

"And here I was, afraid I'd have to beat the other people with designs on your virtue off with a stick."

Jack grinned slyly before he could stop himself, then quickly schooled his features to innocence. "Would you?"

Re: Talk to the TA

[wannabehunter]

"Unless there was someone you didn't want me to."

Re: Talk to the TA

Jack started to laugh. "Oh, I like you, Jo. You are so much fun."

Re: Talk to the TA

Jo grinned. "I try."
