[Day 15, EN] Late Debriefing

[Aloysius Jones]

"Two were small checkered spheroid ships, accompanied by a white leopard."

His eyes had followed her hand and a hint of a smile crossed his lips.

[Anastasia Winters]

"Hmmm. Mechs and more trouble. Sounds like those pirates."

With a sigh, she added, "I doubt they'll remain silent forever. Pirates like to hear themselves talk."

Rising, she stretched, the missing arm more evident in its absence, and then she began tapping with one hand at the pad on her desk. "Damnable nuisance, being one handed. I'll have to get that tech to make me a prosthesis."

She seemed remarkably calm for a woman who had recovered from an amputation, or perhaps she just didn't emote in the normal way?

Glancing back at Aloysius, seemingly not minding giving him a show, she added, dryly, "Was there anything else, Aly?"

[Aloysius Jones]

"I don't have the details of what the others found at the facility or of the data we recovered at the relay station." he shook his head. "My primary concern is security, regardless. That and making sure your needs are met."

[Anastasia Winters]

"Oh?"

She cast him a glance over her shoulder, cocking on hip. "What needs would those be?"

[Aloysius Jones]

"I'm sure you know how extensive my contract is." He moved closer. "But, I am more than willing to go beyond its terms for your safety and comfort. I regret that I could not keep you from harm. I would like to make your time on this planet more enjoyable, however, if you have any suggestions."

[Anastasia Winters]

"Hmmm..."

She smirked. "You know I'm not a very good girl to get involved with. My sister would doubtless regale you with horror stories of what has happened to past interests of mine."

Striding closer, she narrowed the gap between them enough to place her remaining hand under his chin, expression thoughtful, "I can't say the idea of a man being interested in me out of duty is one I've had before... it certainly is novel."

[Aloysius Jones]

"Oh, there is much more interesting about you than what my duties require." There was a slight grin. "And, my brothers would tell you how reckless I am."

[Anastasia Winters]

Anastasia ran one finger up along his jugular to his chin.

"Well... if you don't mind putting your life in danger, I could certainly blow off some stress..."

[Aloysius Jones]

He reached out, placing his hand on her hip, before slowly sliding it up her body. "I've done so for far less worthy reasons."

[Anastasia Winters]

Grabbing his tie, she pulled him forward for a kiss. It was angry, predatory, and sensual. Moving with a certain assertiveness and aggression he might not be prepared for or used to, her hand infiltrated his suit, undoing buttons with frightfully dexterous fingers.

"You won't be getting any sleep tonight, Mr. Serious."

Slipping around him lithely, she gave him a push toward the bed, following while shedding clothes with remarkable speed and ease to reveal a toned, svelte body. Relentless, she closed any gap he put between them, practically pushing him to the bed.
