[ Ah. He looks faintly puzzled at that. He ... had sort of been drifting towards someone else being important, but for the life of him they're not coming to mind. ]

... There's no list. I just wouldn't marry Jim Kirk. Especially with the dress code.

[failureisntachoice]

[ She raises a brow at that perplexed look, but lets it slide. It would be strange if he had a list of marriage candidates with him relationship hopping as he is. ]

Good, I'd be worried about your standards if you did. If he gives you any trouble, let me know.

[dendarii]

No, no... I don't think it'll come to that.

[failureisntachoice]

Still. [ She is on his payroll after all. ] So, you're done with him then?

[dendarii]

That I'm not sure about. It depends on him I'm sure.

[failureisntachoice]

You're fine with being a fling to him?

[dendarii]

... To be honest? Not really.

[failureisntachoice]

But you're leaving it up to him on whether or not you screw again?

[dendarii]

He's the one who doesn't want to continue. So, yes.

[failureisntachoice]

So if he came back and said he wanted to be your boyfriend, you'd be fine with it?

[dendarii]

... Potentially. Yes.

[failureisntachoice]

Why bother if he's already rejected you?

[dendarii]

I don't know. It'd be nice not to have to go completely without.

[failureisntachoice]

You do realize it's not that hard to get laid here if you want, right?

[dendarii]

As a novelty. Yes. Simple enough.

[failureisntachoice]

That's all Jim would be, he's said it himself.

[dendarii]

[ Ah. That sends a sudden spike of cold through him. ]

That's - different.

[failureisntachoice]

[ She snorts. ] How the hell is it different?

[dendarii]

I'm not ... using him. Exactly. He wouldn't be the slightest bit crushed by me refusing to sleep with him again.

[ Wrong and probably wrong. ]

[failureisntachoice]

And what about you in all of this? I didn't think you were the type just looking to get laid.

[dendarii]

I'm not. I don't really do casual at all.

[failureisntachoice]

Then let me get this straight.

[ And she'll speak a little slowly because she wants to make sure she's following his 'logic.' ]

Jim's told you he doesn't want to be your boyfriend. You don't want to do any flings or be nothing to someone. So your solution is to sleep with Jim if he decides to proposition you again regardless of whether or not he wants to date you?

[dendarii]

... When you put it like that, it sounds stupid.

[failureisntachoice]

I'm saying what I hear.

[dendarii]

[ Miles just sighs. ]

Haven't you ever been in a similar situation?
