Keavy couldn't help but smile a little at Sebastions tease. She really wasn't paying him too much heed though. Right now she was dancing with a childhood idol, Shamus "Fastlane" Rodriguez, something that Keavy had fantasized. Of course she wasn't about to let Shamus know this little detail, he seemed nervous enough as it was. This meant that the girl was unusually quiet over the past few minutes, keeping her mouth shut lest she say something that would embarass the two of them. Hence her childhood fantasies remained her own. In a way it was kind of cute the way that he tried to follow Keavy's steps but just couldn't keep up. A flash of mortality from a man that had seemed to be larger than life to her. A pleasant diversion from the grumpy Fastlane that had been around the team of late. > Shamus snarled, his embarrassment now tinged with a not insubstantial amount > of hostility. "Stupid pretty boy, I don't even know why I'm here in the > first place..." "You're here to get to know the rest of the Team better." Keavy interrupted as she turned him to face away from the loud Trid actor. "You're here to wind down a little and have some fun. You're here because some hot, young girl dragged you out onto the dance floor. Ignore Sebastion. It's his place so he has to show off for the ladies. Think of this as a team building exercise. We're the two who are going to be out in front so we...uh...need to know each other better." A sweet smile masked Keavy mentally smacking herself in the head. Gods that sounded lame, she thought. Change the topic before he notices. "So...what have you been doing lately...the last cycle or so?"
