a few times i've been around that track so it's not just gonna happen like that.

CHARACTERS: IRENE ADLER

jilt & SPIKE

allbloodyhail
LOCATION: her room
WARNINGS: spike being a boob.
SUMMARY: after he returns from the cyllene, spike starts going through his stuff and realizes he has no one to give a bunch of awesome things. what do?
NOTES: spike ain't no hollaback grl

Spike is toting a large duffel back as he comes a-rapping at her chamber door, absentmindedly smoking a cigarette. He's probably forgotten he's smoking it at all.

"Open up, yeah? I got something for you." A beat. "And it's not honey!"

[ as far a gentleman callers go, irene's had more refined men knocking at her door. but presents, man, who is gonna turn down presents? ]

Not honey? You're off to a promising start.

[ which is a pretty generous response, considering it's irene and she plays hard to get like a mofo even with her bros. ]

I brought some things back from that space station, thought you might want to have a look.

[ he shrugs. invite him in already, gosh!! ]

How very generous of you.

[ in my head he is wearing that hat ok you can't tell me otherwise ]

Are you making me a gift of them?

[ casually not inviting him in yet tho. ]

[ no shut up he is hatless. spike inclines his head, leaning on the door frame. ]

I can show you, if you let me in.

Or I could come out.

[ irene reaches out to smooth the lapels of the jacket i sure hope he's wearing even if he's not wearing the hat what quality brackets. ]

Unless you require privacy for the display?

[ he tilts his head like a bewildered puppy, only sort of registering her hands on his chest, as light and fleeting a touch it may be. ]

Nah, no privacy required. [ spike gestures down the hall. ] Common room?

For the time being. I can't have you in my room without a chaperone, whatever would people think?

[ irene gives zero fucks about what people think, she's the worst. ]

Come sit with me, and show me what you've brought me.

[ he holds back a laugh, nodding his head. ] Can't be seen with an unsavory individual such as yours truly. Not in private anyway.

Come along then, wouldn't be the first time. [ he inclines his head, leading her out and dumping the bag unceremoniously on the couch. ]

I think I'd have said handsome rather than unsavory.

[ casual ego boost, why not. ]

Though heavens, you certainly did well for yourself. Am I meant to take my pick of these?

[ it was hard not to perk up a little bit by being described as ~handsome~ mostly because he couldn't ever actually remember the word being applied to himself. ]

More like... take as much as you want, got three more bags in my room.

[ spike you're just too easy get it together!! ]

Three bags? All of women's clothing?

[ not judging or anything, just saying.. ]

No. Of loot. It's not all clothes, look... [ he dug into the bag and pulled out -- golden candlesticks, shoving them her way. ]

My, haven't you been busy.

[ is this some weird courting ritual spike, do they give girls candlesticks in your land or what. ]

I think these clothes would do quite well, in fact. I could stitch them up neatly.

[ he shrugs, putting them back down. ] Glad someone can get a use out of 'em, anyway.

And you're certain you'd like nothing in return?

[ because lbr not owing him at least a little is gonna weird her out. ]

Well... [ he thinks that over, or pretends to. then looks back at her and shrugs. ] Already got an adventure out of the deal, didn't I. Just take it.
