Who: Jack & Vaughn
What: Talk
Where: @ Osha
When: The day after Jack meets Rosalie.
Warnings: None expected, but will be edited as needed.

Jack waited outside the Japanese restaurant, casual, but inside he was worried. He was chewing over his email exchange with Nicky and Rosalie's warnings from yesterday. For once, he was curious about a woman as more than just a hook up potential. Who was this Vaughn? Her name kept showing up on the forums as someone to dread and fear, but she wasn't in jail, so was she just just a menace or, as Rosalie said, someone truly dangerous?

	He couldn't argue with that, really, and to belabor the point would seem odd. So he asked, point-blank: "Have you been going out of your way to bother her?" Leaning in, he offered a dry smile and a half-hearted shrug. "Really, I don't care one way or the other, but I'm trying to figure out if this is a one-time thing with Boyd, or if I should brace myself." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I don't know how much more clear I can be with you, Deluxe," she said with a whip's hiss of annoyance. Tentatively selecting a snap pea from her curry dish, Vaughn ate it in one clean, preying mantis bite. "I don't care about Boyd. To busy myself with bothering her would be counterproductive to pretending she doesn't exist." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The bloody, nearly raw steak on his plate was unappealing, even though his stomach rumbled. "Right." He nodded at Vaughn's blunt response, feeling ridiculous. He wished he thought to invite Rosalie along, so the other girl could see the way Vaughn was responding. If this wasn't clear enough that there was nothing going on, then nothing would be.

"Thanks for humoring me." As was his habit, he leaned and smiled, automatically flirting, but his heart wasn't really into it; it was an insult to the both of them, and he lifted his hand to catch the eye of a passing waiter.

She watched him with a curious and almost patronizing glitter of amusement in her eyes. The way he leaned and smiled was inherently charming and surely habitual - for who would ever make an effort to flirt with Vaughn? She remained as impervious as any carnivorous man-eater. The subtle smile on her red mouth never quite reached her pale eyes. The way she looked him over, she could have been daydreaming about things darker than just the skin under his overpriced clothes.

"You're a handsome man, Deluxe. I would stay away from Boyd, if I were you."

	He lifted an eyebrow in response and gave her a knowing look. "You jealous?" he asked lightly, aware that wasn't the case. Still, he was pretending this was an entirely different conversation, one that was fraught with less tension, perhaps. One that was really all about flirting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She easily read his intentions. The flirting was second nature, and therefore comfortable for him. He did it so easily, she imagined that those knowing looks of his were as inherent as breathing. Vaughn feigned a soft smile, and it looked sweeter than anything from her ever should.

"Maybe." She gave him an easy out with her dismissive reply. Even if her warning had been warranted, Vaughn didn't explain it further. Jack's problem wasn't going to be Vaughn's jealousy in he pursued Boyd, but Shane's.

Jack would learn that eventually. Vaughn might just make sure of it.
