[Nikki L'Evienne]

"Milo's always talking about my talents with men?!" she asked, looking almost comically horrified. "You are joking!? He's such a buffoon, he really is!! What is it that he thinks I am... he'd... you know, Val....."

She looked at her sister and shrugged, accepting that she was about to say what she was about to say "I've never... well, you know, been with a man in an.. intimate way. Never found anyone I wanted to go that far with, truth be told. There was Jimmy Hands, but Milo put paid to that, and there was his brother Frankie, but Frankie was a bit too quick with his fists for me to be with him anyhow.... Milo thinks that I'm jumping into bed with everyone that I come across and he just couldn't be more wrong, truth be told. "

She shrugged again and then smiled softly. "What our beloved brother doesn't realise is the difference between flirting and.... well, anything else" she said, sipping her wine gently "And believe me, the difference is small indeed to those who choose not to notice, but massive in the really real world. And honestly, Val, the first trick is to identify a target and never, ever let him realise that you were the one to make the first move. So - since I'm the expert at flirting, a talent I readily admit, why don't you pick one of the men here this darkening, and I'll see what I can do about getting us some drinks?"

She sat back and looked at Val with mischief in her eyes. If she was going to play the role, she was going to play it well and raise to the challenge, she decided. And so, let her sister choose the target and she would use her not-insignificant charms.

ooc: so sorry about the delays - and I'm not going to get any better, I'm afraid! But I'm asking someone to peer mod us, so if you respond as Val and then hopefully we'll have a victim!! I'll let you know.
