RP with Aeryn Sun.

[stuck_mynock]

Atton staggered upstairs, singing something which sounded suspiciously like a drinking song, one arm around Aeryn's shoulders to keep himself standing, the other clutching a bottle of Tarisian Ale. He shouldered open the door to his room, kicking it closed and giggling, slightly insanely.
"This is my room. I apologise for the mess."

Atton moved so that his face was level with hers and closer than one might expect, grinning crookedly.
"Or what?"

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Or I may," she said through gritted teeth. "have to find my pulse pistol and kill you."

She would not, she would not.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton bit his lip and cocked his head, giving her a look that clearly said 'I know you wouldn't do that'.

Aeryn moved slightly closer and after a few moments deliberation lay her head on his shoulder. It was much better than the alternative.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton was slightly surprised by what she did.
"Well, I wasn't expecting that."

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

Aeryn brought her head up.

"Sorry. I just got a little sleepy."

She didn't know what she was thinking. Stupid stupid Aeryn.

"Don't apologise, I don't mind. It was sort of nice, I could take on being a pillow as a permenant job." He grinned at her.

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

She could never tell if he was mocking her or not and her face remained serious.

"I'm not drunk anymore, there is no excuse for such behaviour."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Yeah? Well, I don't care, I am here for all your pillow needs if you want to rest." Atton sounded deadly serious, but that pretty much meant nothing as far as Atton goes.

She thought back to some Earth insults John had taught her.

"More like a Pillock really." She grinned, still leaning close to him. For some reason it was warmer near him.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"I have no idea what that is," Atton grinned. "But I'll assume it means incredibly fantastic person."

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"You would" She prodded him in the chest.

"You have the ego of a Nebari."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"You do realise I have no idea what any of this stuff is?" Atton laughed. "You might as well be talking Tusken."

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Well I have no idea what you are saying most of the time either."

She glared at him for no particular reason.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"That's probably for the best."

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Why?" She suddenly became suspicious. "It's not dirty is it?" She furrowed her brows.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"No, just complete and utter rubbish."

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Not to me it isn't." She say quietly. Before looking vaguely surprised at herself.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton drew his head back slightly, giving her a slightly shocked look and remaining completely silent.

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"I didn't mean that." She glared.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Didn't mean what?"

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"What I just said. I take it back." She had noticed the shocked look on his face.

She was mean, she reminded herself. A nasty Peacekeeper.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Remember the discussion about being devoured we were having earlier?" Atton asked quietly. "I'm not going to devour you, so if you could drop the hard soldier act for ten minutes or so and tell me what you meant, I'd appreciate it."

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

Aeryn is slightly taken aback by his bluntness, everything is fun and games with Atton.

She stood up, already on guard. It was hard to ruin a lifetimes training.

"What makes you think it's an act." She located her pulse pistol on the floor and strapped it in.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Nobody is like that. Not even the Sith. And besides, you said yourself, somebody close to you died. Completely hard soldiers don't get close to anybody." Atton raised his eyebrows, standing up as well, the room looking slightly darker and him unnaturally tall as he does so. If Aeryn's very observant, she might feel a flicker of something, nearly stifled.
