[HG-PBEM] Re: Back into the fray

 

>>"Non," Juliette answered. "I'm not a sport duelist by trade. I am...

[Chico]

Juliette let Chico take the lead so he could make introductions. Falling
back
a half-step, she looked at the red mark on Terry's head, quietly asking,
"So... the Colonel's wife is the source of your headache? Did she hit you?"

"She flashed her chest at me and I fell apart." Terry said quietly, "I don't
think I'll get the gigolo position any more after that performance so I'll
set my sights a little lower." He chuckled to cover his embarassment, but
it was weak.

...

Once inside again Terry returned to his team, "A quick rounds of
introductions.  This is Keavy and Rohgen, Cheetah pilot and mechanic
respectively and the working half of our little team.  Guys, the open
shirted
stud is Chico, an agent for the Red Liners and the green eyed beauty is
Juliette, a Sidewinder pilot also trying out for the Reds".

[Oh, whoops.  On rereading I see Juliette thought Chico would do
introductions.  Terry did some, but left out the Colonel and Jesabel
thinking
people would know them already.
Either way, this should be ok.]
