The Library is Open (02/09)

Rory toddled sleepily into the library after ACJ, and took her usual position behind the desk.

Library's open. It has books. Go read or something.

"Um. Not really. Are you doing anything for V-Day?" Rory asked.

"Probably not. Jack's birthday is the day before, I'm going to his party-- I seriously doubt he wants to do anything, and I'm not sure I want to anyway." Parker raised her eyebrows, then rolled her eyes. "Of course, you can't be doing anything, since you're not seeing anyone."

"No, of course not." Rory sighed. "Can't believe I'm asking this - if I were seeing someone? What would I get him? I mean, I'm the kind of person to kind of insist it's not a big deal. So should I get him anything?" She blushed. "You know. If I were seeing someone. Which I'm not."

Parker put her hand over her face and laughed. "For this purely hypothetical baseball player-- does he even know about Valentine's Day yet?-- I might get lingerie to model. You, on the other hand... maybe a nice book?" She grinned mischeviously. "Or a not-so-nice book?"

"The purely hypothetical baseball player knows," Rory said, sinking in her seat and turning even redder. "Lingerie? Seriously? That's so...we're not...."

"Haven't reached third yet?" Parker said sympathetically. "In that case, the book. Or, better? Two. One of poetry. He likes you, he might like that." She grinned. "And then the not-nice maybe-naughty book. For suggestions. So you guys can reach shortstop at *some* point."

Re: Second Period (2/9)

Rory nearly fell over. "No naughty books! And poetry's like, cliché!"

She looked around shiftily. "If I were worried about this, I mean. Which I'm not, since there's nothing to be worried over, since I have no one to spend Valentine's Day with and I'll be sad and alone and et cetera."

"Of course." Parker grinned cheerfully. "So me suggesting massage oils, which don't have to be used for massage and are just *nice* smelling, would be a totally wasted opportunity. Likewise scented candles. 'Cause you have no one to gaze at over them."

Re: Second Period (2/9)

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory frowned. "No massage oils anyway, even if I had someone to, um, enjoy them with. Because they're messy. Not to mention there's a whole 'Dirty!' factor here."

She might have looked a little petulant.

"Massages are 'dirty'? Wow, remind me to tell that to Adama and Crichton." Parker looked evil. "Since that's happened with both of them...." She shrugged elaborately. "But messy, I'll grant you. I'm out of ideas then, for what doesn't veer into Callynanders break-your-brain territory. Too bad."

"Bah," Rory said, shuffling her foot. "It doesn't have to be about sex, you know. Valentine's Day is about love."

Re: Second Period (2/9)

Parker rolled her eyes, then cocked her head. "Hunh. Idea. And I think it works for both."

Re: Second Period (2/9)

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Both?" Rory asked, raising a brow. "I don't know that there's a need for 'both' since hypothetically there's no need for anything dirty, but go on."

"Music. Your choice on whether it goes 'romantic' or 'sexy', but since a certain baseball player likes bantha bells, he probably wouldn't mind hearing some earth music with rhythm to it," Parker said, her lips twitching.

Re: Second Period (2/9)

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Ooh. That's an idea."

Rory chewed on her pen thoughtfully. "I can do that pretty easily."

"Not that you'll need to." Parker chuckled. "But hey, it's good to have the option, right? I think new place opened up in town." She paused, looking reflective for a second. "I wonder where Gordon went."

Re: Second Period (2/9)

"Don't know," Rory mused. "Maybe to hang out outside someone else's window."

She rocked forward and began making a list. Quite possibly of songs.

"Poor bastard. As long as it's not mine..." Parker grinned as Rory slipped into organizer-mode, and wandered away, whistling. If it sounded like Bolero, she probably didn't mean anything by it.
