I find that pretty hard to believe, Sara. Bet you've still got at least one skeleton in your closet.

And why the hell isn't Aruba happening. Who doesn't like bikinis and mai tais?

[leaguer]

Mick.
We've got bigger fish to fry in our world than Aruba
But if it'll make you happy I'll slap on a bikini and we'll sip mai tais by the beach here
You know
Where the fate of humanity as we know it isn't resting on our shoulders

It'll be nice.
Might remind me of one of those skeletons in my closet that I'm neither confirming nor denying

[kelvins]

You got a deal, but I'm picking the bikini. And before you protest, I've got an expert on speed dial who'll let me know if it's lady approved.

[at least he assumes kara will help him pick an outfit for sara. she's helpful like that.]

[leaguer]

If that's what gets you off
Sure thing

( is she fucking with him? she'll never say. but if mick rory finds it pertinent to spend valuable eudio time on finding a bikini that he thinks will look good on her, she's certainly not going to stop him. )

I expect you'll keep me updated

[kelvins]

[ it's always a coin flip as to whether or not sara's just fucking with him. either way, he is certainly happy to waste his day (as if he's got anything else more pressing to do) looking at swimwear for her, and hopefully, if he plays his cards right they'll both get something worthwhile out of this.]

Yeah, I'll send you updates. You can hard pass up to three times.

[leaguer]

Sounds reasonable
I just hope your fashion consultant knows how to reign you in

( not that most people know how to reign mick in. )

[kelvins]

[it's probably more like how's he gonna get his shopping buddy to loosen up and play fashion model to the benefit of all, but details details.]

That's a short list of people. You're one. Snart's the other. Too bad neither of you are going shopping with me.

[leaguer]

Too bad
Pretty sure Leonard would have a little too much fun with this too though

( not that she's really thinking too hard about leonard right now. well, maybe just a little. )

[kelvins]

Probably, but I can't let him have all the fun around here. Maybe next time though.

[leaguer]

I'm glad you're so sure there's gonna be a next time

( a next time for what, exactly? nobody said anything about anything, but considering they seem to be on the same page as something or another ... sure. )

[kelvins]

What's wrong with being confident? At least a third of pulling something off is believing you can.
[maybe they haven't said anything about anything, but really, there's not much else that he could be referring to. he's not complicated when it comes to these matters.]

[leaguer]

Did someone steal your phone?
That almost sounded too optimistic for the Mick Rory I know
But it's a good look on you
Guess it must just mean that you really want to pull off whatever it is you're trying to pull off

[kelvins]

Been spending too much time with the sunshine twins. Guess they're rubbing off on me.
More like itching to unwrap what's hidden under the complicated bow.

[leaguer]

Almost seems silly to go through all this trouble if that's the case doesn't it?
But who am I to judge
Guess I like the anticipation, too

[kelvins]

I mean if you wanna just cut to the chase we can, but I think you'll find things are hotter this way. You know how I like to bring the heat.

[leaguer]

I know
More than you realize, probably
This ain't my first rodeo

( not even her first rodeo with mick — something that she's never been sure if he figured out. she's hinted at it enough times, but never felt like it was her place to really let him know; better not make him think she's expecting anything from him when she knows it wasn't really him. but surprise, surprise. some things are just meant to happen. )

[kelvins]

Your trail of broken hearts all throughout time makes it pretty clear it's not your first rodeo.

[she's hinted at something having happened between them. or well, the other mick who had been here before him, but mick's never cared enough to ask for definite confirmation or worried that there'd be any sort of expectations one way or the other. he's kind of figured if they ended up in bed that it was just going to happen in due course.

by the look of things, due course might be happening pretty damn soon.]

[leaguer]

Better watch yourself there, cowboy
Or else I might just ditch you there on the beach with a bikini in your hand and no Mai Tais in sight

[kelvins]

Afraid I don't have the body for it.
Don't worry. I'll behave.

[leaguer]

Didn't say I wanted you to behave.
Just wanted you to watch your mouth.

[kelvins]

Po-tay-to. Po-tah-to. Either way you slice it, you want me to ease up.

[leaguer]

I can handle your worst
Don't underestimate me, Rory

[kelvins]

I know you're a badass.

First option that's passed muster. My expert says it's 'cute'.

[leaguer]

Good. Don't forget it

( but he's finally offered a bikini for her to appraise. strangely, her first thought brings her to supergirl. )

Color's nice
Not bad
Won't veto it but I wanna see other options.

[kelvins]

This one wasn't my choice but I was told I had to and that this one was definitely you.
