maggie-martin:

Well, he was the right amount of cute, if the Legion ever lets him go.

The legion doesn’t easily let people go.

[maggie-martin]

What a shame, then.

[sofiaschoice]

maggie-martin:

Who knows? I thought he wanted us to become something like that, but… you Romans tend to disappear. Why? Are you interested?

We do do that. The legion requires a certain amount of time that can make a social life… Difficult. [Sofia shrugs.] Aryan’s my friend. 

[maggie-martin]

Well, he was the right amount of cute, if the Legion ever lets him go.

[sofiaschoice]

maggie-martin:

[Maggie stopped knitting. Aryan the cutie] Huh. It became a rumor?

It did. Someone must have seen something and told someone and it spiraled from there. It isn’t a bad one, though… Is it true?

[maggie-martin]

Who knows? I thought he wanted us to become something like that, but... you Romans tend to disappear. Why? Are you interested?

maggie-martin:

[She flashed a smile at Sofia and went back to knitting, thinking of ways to charm the needles. Maybe she could ask Lou Ellen…]

[Sofia cleared her throat.] So, are you and Aryan an item? Or is that one of the made up rumors I should have ignored.

[maggie-martin]

[Maggie stopped knitting. Aryan the cutie] Huh. It became a rumor?

[sofiaschoice]

maggie-martin:

A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.

[Sofia nods, unsure if that’s a subject she should explore further with Maggie.]

[maggie-martin]

[She flashed a smile at Sofia and went back to knitting, thinking of ways to charm the needles. Maybe she could ask Lou Ellen...]

maggie-martin:

[She shrugged, half grinning] If people are gonna stare at you anyway, make it count.

I’m sure you’d know. You’re very pretty, you must use that to your advantage.

[maggie-martin]

A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

[sofiaschoice]

maggie-martin:

Turn it into something good for yourself.

I’ve done that. To the best of my ability at least. Making money off it, though, that’s a new one.

[maggie-martin]

[She shrugged, half grinning] If people are gonna stare at you anyway, make it count.

[sofiaschoice]

maggie-martin:

For the purposes of this business venture, it’s better that way.

[Sofia shrugs.] It’s gotta be good for something.

[maggie-martin]

Turn it into something good for yourself.

[sofiaschoice]

maggie-martin:

Girl, I’m not blind.

No one ever is. 

[maggie-martin]

For the purposes of this business venture, it's better that way.

[sofiaschoice]

maggie-martin:

That I’m sure of.

Glad to have your full confidence.

[maggie-martin]

Girl, I’m not blind.

[sofiaschoice]

maggie-martin:

I just need to get the hang of shaping it. There’s always someone who wants a knitted bikini.

That I could sell. Easily.

[maggie-martin]

That I'm sure of.

[sofiaschoice]

maggie-martin:

That’s an option. [She showed Sofia her knitted circle] Mine looks like those things old ladies put on their chairs.

…There’s gotta be a demographic for those somewhere between our camps. 

[maggie-martin]

I just need to get the hang of shaping it. There's always someone who wants a knitted bikini.

[sofiaschoice]

maggie-martin:

Now I only need to get magic involved in this. [She looked down at what she had been knitting] How’s yours looking?

Are you going to enchant the knitting needles or something? [Sofia paused and held out the beginnings of a scarf.] Really good. But I’m an old pro, so.

[maggie-martin]

That's an option. [She showed Sofia her knitted circle] Mine looks like those things old ladies put on their chairs.

[sofiaschoice]

maggie-martin:

[Maggie grinned at her] Pleasure making business with you.

Likewise. I hope.

[maggie-martin]

Now I only need to get magic involved in this. [She looked down at what she had been knitting] How's yours looking?

[sofiaschoice]

maggie-martin:

Get me results and a bonus can be discussed

[Sofia pursed her lips.] Deal.

[maggie-martin]

[Maggie grinned at her] Pleasure making business with you.

[sofiaschoice]

maggie-martin:

You can ask for it, but really, fifteen is what I’m offering.

You know I’m worth more than that. 

[maggie-martin]

Get me results and a bonus can be discussed

[sofiaschoice]

maggie-martin:

You’re a knockout. With the right smile, you could sell Hephestus a screwdriver.

Exactly. If anything I should be asking for more.

[maggie-martin]

You can ask for it, but really, fifteen is what I'm offering.
