She walks into the bar, slightly distracted by trying not to be distracted by... pretty much everyone. It's spring.
"So who did you say you were introducing me to, again?" she asks her coworker.
"Maybe we could find out empirically."
"Maybe we could. I find the rest of my afternoon seems to be empty of any outstanding commitments."
"So much free time. It would be a shame not to put it to good use."
"I agree. But let's take our time, the food hasn't even arrived yet."
"Of course, you tease."
"I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about," he says, turning to the side while resting his head on his hands to start ogling the passersby.
"You are terribly cute, did you know that?"
Their food arrives.
"Of course I did, I make money off it."
"Among other skills."
"It's true, I'm good with lighting and poses and showmanship, too."
"Indeed, you are good at showing your assets."
"Okay that was just crass."
"Only if you have your mind in the gutter."
"We are talking about sex work, where else would it be?"
"And where else my mind shall wander, but to your assets, then?"
"Food," he gestures, and then tilts his head towards the waitress, "other people's assets."
"Not bad alternatives, but not the superior alternative." He uses a bit of harmonic magic to tight and untight Sahde's pants around his knees. Like a hand-squeeze.
He giggles. "Flatterer."
"One of my terrible caste qualities." Quick smooch. "But lets eat."
