Lucy blinked in surprise, "What?"

Phoenix smiled, as he reached over to pin the invisible flower to her shirt.

_

Jack smirked. "I want to show you off" He told her.

Lucy blinked in surprise at this.

Sybil nodded, "I'll tell him you might be bringing a guest," she said, sensing that the two would want this conversation in private.

"Thank you, Sybill... I may wish to talk to you later" He told her.

Sybil nodded quietly before leaving, closing the door behind her.

Michelle blushed and smiled, "Thank you."

Jack smiled, turning back to Lucy and awaiting her response.

_

Phoenix smiled, and nodded.

Michelle glanced down to where the invisible flower was a moment later, before looking back up at Phoenix.

Lucy looked up at him, "You wanna show me off?"

Jack nodded.

_

Phoenix just smiled back at her, as he relaxed back into his seat, drinking his drink through his invisible straw.

"What are you drinking?" Asked Michelle.

Lucy paused for a moment, "I don't know how to act like all your kind does..."

Phoenix tilted the cup, so she could see it was milk.

_

Jack smirked. "That's not how I want you to act"

Lucy blinked, "I'd probably just end up ticking some big-wig off..."

"Oh..." Michelle's lips made the perfect 'o' form.

Jack snorted. "I wouldn't say that's a bad thing"

_

Phoenix chuckled, a silent chuckle, with no noise at all.

Lucy raised her eyebrows at him.

Jack smiled at her. "If you tick them off, it shows who's not quite competant to deal with things... the ones who are easy to take over"

Lucy blinked, "So I'm just gonna be part of figuring out who you can conquer in the world of business?"

"No..." Jack said, slowly, thinking about what to say, before sighing.

"I want..." He began, before falling silent again.

Lucy looked up at him, her brown curls having frizzed slightly from their time outside.

Michelle smiled back at him.

Phoenix smiled back at her.

(Don't expect much conversation from him :P)

_

Jack sighed. "This is difficult if you don't believe I think you're more than an accessory"

(It's fine.)

Michelle looked down at her watch, checking the time.

"I'm not more than an accessory." she said simply.

"My," Toulouse said, rather impressed. "You have been around, haven't you?"

Vlad darted off to find some dinner. While Kim flipped through her folders, howls of terror echoed up from the cells.

Phoenix watched her as she did, before he started to pat himself down, before his face lit up with a smile, and he pulled out a matchbox.

_

Scaramouche laughed. "You could never fathom the half of it"

_

Kimberly rolled her eyes, but also growled as she kept going through all the files, finding nothing about her accomplice.

Despite her self-control, everything had finally piled on top of her temper, and she let out a rather loud... "For fuck's sake!"

_

Jack sighed. "No, you're not..." He said, quietly, before rolling onto the bed, off of her.

"Do you need a light?" She asked.

Lucy shrugged slightly, propping herself up on her elbows when he got off of her.

Phoenix shook his head, and flicked the box open.

"Hello" The box said.

_

Jack sighed, as he tried to think.

"I want people, to look you at you, and want you... Because you're pretty, you're fun, and you're energetic... And I want them to be jealous that they can't have you, because I have you"
