[Why is a 14-year-old hanging around a bar? Because she can. Also, karaoke is a national pastime, and no way was she going to miss out on all the fun just because she happened to short a few years' age.]

[But, as a compromise, she doesn't actually drink anything worse than highly caffeinated, highly sweetened sodas. Which is what she's sipping over to one side as Jack finishes the performance.]

[Letting it hover in the air, she frees her hands just long enough to not only applaud Jack's performance, but let out a very unabashed whistle in compliment.]

	[He sees Zatanna in the audience and grins at her enthusiastic applause and whistle, but it's a while before he heads across to her because Rose catches him first. Still, he has a warm smile for her when he does reach her.] I take it you enjoyed that, then? [Teasingly.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She can wait.] Very much so. You're quite the entertainer, you know that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I do my best. [Such modesty. He nods towards the stage, eyebrows raised.] We going to see you up there tonight? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-03-17 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	I was. This isn't my first karaoke night, you know. Beginning of the evening and end of the night. That's when you want to get up there. People actually pay attention to you then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[His mouth twists, amused.] Are you saying they weren’t paying attention to me? [As if!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't think they had much choice in the matter. [It was a compliment. You have a presence, Jack, and you know it.] I meant more in general terms. It gets loud in the middle of a party, and people will want to socialize more and listen less. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-03-21 03:38 pm UTC (link)
	[Yes, he knows he has a presence, but he also has one hell of an ego, which demands you feed it! He grins.]small> Gotcha. Well, I'll leave that singing at the end to you, then. Since I seemed to make enough of an impression in the middle of the evening anyway! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-03-22 12:51 am UTC (link)
	[She'll throw you a few crumbs in the spirit of the evening.] I'll say. Where'd you learn to perform like that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A few different places. That particular song: Broadway, 1934, with Cole Porter. [Yes, he's unbelievably smug.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...you're from the 1930s? [Wait, that doesn't seem right.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-03-22 12:22 pm UTC (link)
	Not originally. But I've lived through them, yes. [Eyes twinkling, waiting for the rest of it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-03-22 11:54 pm UTC (link)
	...and how many others? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-03-24 12:32 pm UTC (link)
	About another 16 decades. Though not all in the correct order, I hasten to add. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-03-25 01:42 am UTC (link)
	Oh, of course not. That would be boring. Have I mentioned you look good for your age? [Seriously, Jack. wow.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-03-25 10:35 am UTC (link)
	[More smugness.] No, but thank you! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-03-26 01:20 am UTC (link)
	You are most certainly welcome. [Flirting? Maybe.] Magic? Time travel? Or at you just immortal? I kinda hope it's not the last one--that seems so anti-climatic in comparison. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh, darn, and I was hoping to be exciting!

[It may be only 'maybe' flirting from her, but it's definite flirting from him! He loves flirting, even when, as now, it's not going to go anywhere, because she is way too young for him.

He gives her a hopeful look.]

Immortal and time-travel? Wouldn't have been able to do the different times in the wrong order if I was just immortal!

	[She pretends like she's seriously pondering this 'revelation'] You have a point. Alright, I guess you can keep my interest for a little while longer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-03-28 12:00 pm UTC (link)
	Fantastic! [He grins, and leans down to plant a warm kiss on her forehead.] So since I was told to always leave before I lose someone's interest, I'm going to leave now! Also, I think I have someone waiting to buy me a drink. [He nods towards where Ianto is hanging around the bar, exuding patience as always but obviously waiting for him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-03-29 12:38 am UTC (link)
	[She catches a glimpse of Ianto out of the corner of her eye and waves happily in the aftermath of the forehead kiss. Considering her age, and Jack...being Jack...she was pretty sure there was no viable threat to the young man whatsoever. But just in case.] He's cute. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-03-29 12:17 pm UTC (link)
	[A fond, pleased smile wraps itself round Jack's lips.] He is, isn't he? Catch you later, sweetheart! [And he's off, over to the bar, and Ianto.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
