OOM: Room 130

As the sun sets, Veronica sits at the desk in her room, staring out the window at nothing. Though it's becoming darker in the room, she makes no move to turn on her lamp, despite the fact that soon it will be quite difficult to read the book spread open across her lap.

Truthfully, she hasn't even glanced at the book in over an hour.

"Yeah, I guess," Indy says, ever so nonchalantly.

He shrugs.

"I would've done it mid- or post-adventure in Marrakech, but I was still seeing Lil at the time."

Indy levels a typically lazy smirk at her.

"Yeah. That's what I figured."

"Not that I needed to offer anything beyond my rugged good looks, keen mind, and irresistable charisma, of course."

The tartness is like water off a duck's back to Indy.

"Fine."

He lets out a half-snort, half-chortle.

"If you're gonna rely on Lilly's word and three movies for a value judgment on what you're missing out on, there's not much more I can do."

"Soooo... I'm just not your type?" he hazards.

He tries to keep the playful air intact, while also cultivating a look of pending grievance.

"Just my luck."

Indy sighs melodramatically.

"But, hey... it's your loss."

Indy drops his head and chuckles.

"You should prob'ly cite the result of this conversation on your dating resume. Withstood the charming advances of Indiana Jones."

He gives her a sage nod.

"It's a pretty impressive feat, y'know."

Indy deflates and affects a thoroughly dejected look.

"As if the rejection itself wasn't bad enough. You had to twist the knife, didn't ya?"

Indy peeks back at her, battling to keep his smirk under wraps.

"Good save."

"Yep. Definitely not just a pretty face."

He smiles at her, and after a moment's consideration, he moves on, adopting a slightly more careful tone.

"On a less frivolous note, you, erm, had any more panic attacks since... that night?"

Indy frowns at her insightfulness this time.

"Well, shit. 'Scuse me for caring."

"Load of crap," Indy humphs and folds his arms defensively. He chooses not to mention that there's a fair amount of overlap in those two options.

"There must be real bad perspective from where you're sitting."

[identity profile] henry-jones-jr.livejournal.com 2007-03-20 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
"'Cause I'm not assessing your mental stability. Is it so hard to believe that I care about you?"

Indy sighs.

"That's real nice, Vee."

"Real nice."
