[ Calm, faintly amused: ]

I’m looking for someone who can teach Aya to have fun.

But, Honor Guard Rayner, I am well aware of the definition of ‘having fun’. Green Lantern Hal Jordan has informed me repeatedly in the time we spent traveling together.

[ A pause. He taps his fingers on the desk. ]

Theory is different from practice, Aya. [ A beat. ] And Hal has a really... weird definition.

...I am inclined to agree, yes. Very well. I am not adverse to experimenting with new ideas.

… Right. Anyway. [ Louder, addressing the console: ] If you’d like payment, money’s of no object. It’ll be a few weeks at most.

(Oh, this grin is not one to be trusted.) Want me to take a whack at her? (Say no, she probably means literally.)

Maybe I should specify. Non-violent fun.

[Wow is he disapproving of her? This is a first.]

Maybe you should let her decide for herself. (Is she fighting back? This isn't a first.)

[Interestingly enough, though, Aya could probably take it.]

Are you implying you wish to cause me physical harm, or are you speaking metaphorically?

(There's a few seconds worth of hesitation on her end.) ... metaphorically.

(n o p e)

Then may I inquire as to precisely what means of casual social interaction you really had in mind?

Well, we could always go to the gym and talk about idiots in our lives. (You're a GL, she used to date a GL, there's probably bucket loads of idiots in their lives.)

Or spar.

[Aya wasn't entire sure precisely what the lovely lady on the other end of the feed defined the term idiot by... ~~though she had more than her fair share of stories, lbr~~ ...but the mentioning of attending a gym and sparring drew her attention.]

You are proficient at combat, then?

Just as your little friend over there. (Remember that time she beat you up, Kyle. Except that's not very specific because it happens a lot.)

[Aya took a moment to glance over at Kyle, before turning back to Shayera]

Actually, I am significantly smaller in stature than Honor Guard Rayner.

--not what I meant. It's a figure of speech kinda thing. But trust me, I can hold my own in a battle.

As can I.

I would be most interested in witnessing a display of your abilities.

Name a time and place, I'll meet you there. (SUCK IT, LIL BRO.)

I have already made multiple appointments with several individuals. Would two days from now, in the evening or night, be sufficient for your own schedule?

(... that is awfully precise, damn this girl's good.) Sure, works fine for me. We can grab some dinner afterwards.

Actually, I do not require food or drink for sustenance. "Dinner" is not necessary.

... well that killed some of our plans. Just training, then, I guess.

My apologies.

[She did look slightly guilty about that]

Training would be more than sufficient, if you still desire to meet with me.

Don't worry about it, I've had worse. (Aya, you precious soul.) Sure do. I just have to ask, are you a Green Lantern?

Yes. I am.

How did you know?

[Aside from the Green. And the association with Kyle. Oh, and the giant Green Lantern Symbol on her chest.]

(Oh, okay, she's definitely going with this.) I'm a psychic.

[Shay, that's mean.]

[Because Aya, in the face of a lack of evidence suggesting otherwise, is immediately inclined to believe her. Why would somebody lie about something like that?]

You are in possession of precognitive abilities?

I have heard of the concept before, but never met an individual beyond the Guardians who were.

(If she were a better person, she'd come clean now.

But this is Shayera. She'll be honest in... oh, twenty minutes?) How else do you think I know Kyle is thinking I'm a terrible person right now?

[Ah! Signs of doubt beginning to creep into her expression. Suspicion.]

That does not sound like Kyle.
