Bandit tattoo.

[He agrees.]

Got it when the business passed to me. The bandit business, naturally.

[plundering]

[She nods gravely.]

Naturally.

[She holds up her free hand to show him the ruffles sticking out from under her jacket.]

Bandit ruffles. Very depraved.

[devoutish]

Are those part of the sleeve?

[He can't tell with the jacket on.]

[plundering]

Part of the shirt underneath.

[She's wearing layers, which was good luck for getting dumped here.]

[devoutish]

Yeah. It reminds me a bit of some clothes from home. Not quite the same, but familiar enough.

[plundering]

Yeah? Which parts?

[devoutish]

The hat. The boots. The style of the jacket.

The shoulder things are a bit odd.

[He runs the fingers of his free hand along one of the shoulder ridges.]

[plundering]

[She watches the motion, then looks back up at him.]

Not a fan?

[The blue nail polish and red streak in her hair is probably weird, too, but hey. She's flashy.]

[devoutish]

It's eye-catching.

[Which isn't bad.]

Like the hair, the nails.

[plundering]

Is nail polish not popular where you're from?

[devoutish]

I don't see that color much. I don't see hair color like that at all.

[plundering]

[Fiona tugs absently on the streak in her hair. It's growing out a bit by now.]

I've been doing this to my hair since I was a kid. A lot of people dye their hair on Pandora.

[devoutish]

For fashion, or is there meaning behind it?

[Definitely going to reach up and lightly run his fingers along that streak.]

[plundering]

[Her eyebrows go up a little, but she doesn't pull away or protest.]

I like red.

[Very deep.]

[devoutish]

[It's quick; he doesn't linger. His hand returns to rest on his leg (and his other one, of course, is still holding hers). ]

And the varnish? You like blue?

[plundering]

Yeah, sure.

[It's true, but also:]

It's easier to trick people into thinking you're legitimate when you look the part.

[devoutish]

Do most bandits have bare nails?

[plundering]

Most bandits on Pandora look like they haven't taken a shower in their lives.

[devoutish]

As do most people in Norfinbury.

[plundering]

[She grins.]

Hey, we have running water on Pandora. Mostly. At least we have an excuse here.

[devoutish]

I have heard rumors, right, of the legendary houses with hot water.

[Tell him those rumors are true, Fiona. He wants to believe.]

[plundering]

Yeah, they're great. You haven't been to one yet?

[devoutish]

I was near one without knowing it, a few days after the repairs finished. I didn't stop in.

[plundering]

Ouch. Heartbreaking. Maybe I shouldn't be letting you touch me.

[devoutish]

[He holds up his free hand, fingers splayed, palm facing towards her.]

Clean hands.
