[She can't claim he's getting any points for subtlety, but she does give a nod, letting whatever that was go. The wink, at least, prompts a smile.]

You got it. I owe you one for the faux margarita, anyways.

[oraculi]

You don't owe me a damn thing.

[Just saying, but not with any heat. He grabs his drink and sprawls in a chair, looking up at her through his bangs.]

So what is it you do when you're not solving murders and getting pressured into casual sex?

Well... I'm studying to be a writer, and I teach yoga on the side.

[She tilts her head slightly as she continues.]

How about you?

[There's a few seconds where he's clearly struggling to decide how he wants to respond, but then:]

I raise geese.

[Which is true, actually, even if the way he drawls it out makes it sound like a joke.]

What kinda writer?

[uncurtained]

[The look she gives him says that she absolutely thinks it's a joke, but she doesn't mind too much. She gets the idea he'd rather not talk about himself too much.]

Poetry, mostly. Some short stories... But I want to write a novel sometime soon.

[His next item from home is a bunch of geese and then she'll realize . . . then she'll know . . .]

About what?

Guess you're getting a lot of material around here.

[uncurtained]

Mostly my family.

[After a moment, there's a small laugh.]

Yeah. Maybe I'll write a novel about a bunch of people with a myriad of issues who get trapped in a hotel together.
