Re: Baby It's Cold Outside ... (cont'd)
Scott was overjoyed she had agreed to come with him. See seemed like a good sort, and he had never recruited anybody to meet the gang, before. "You know, I've been mentally kicking myself since I started to talk to you. If you don't ask yourself what my motives are, then you should. And I understand about keeping your 'gifts' a secret, especially after how my second stage of them surfaced. But! I hear this place is really fun, and the guy who invited me is a really great singer. It's sort of an open mike, but he's scheduled to do 2 or 3 songs, because it's one of the places he started out. I'm not going to balk at you paying your own way, either. I live on a pretty low stipend, despite the new jacket and the fancy cowling on my motorcycle."
Now that she had agreed to go with him, he was settling into his 'Scott Winters' groove. "There's an extra helmet for anybody who rides with me. So, let's strap your guitar on, and then get that thing on your head. I'm going slowly, so there won't be any dangers. I've never been in the City before, and I'm sort of taking in the sights. Um, what's your name?"
