[Spam for Crichton]
[At some point, his inmate has found her way into John's quarters. She found him not in at the time, so she made herself at home. She pokes into his things, touches his clothes, and eventually decides that since his job is to assist her (twisted as it may be), then he could assist her by loaning her his amenities.
She strips off, a piece at a time, leaving a very short trail of red clothes to his bathroom, where she proceeds to take a nice long shower. The inmate showers served perfectly well, but there was a certain luxury in privacy.]

[He can hear the shower running. Why is the shower running?!]
No. This is not happening.
[He's still frozen in his indecision. What is he supposed to do about this?]

Date: 2014-03-30 06:43 pm (UTC)From:When she emerges, it's in a large puff of steam, wrapped in a towel. She has a second one that she's using to pat her hair dry. When it's wet, it looks even longer.
She sees him and smiles, just a slow curve of her lips.]
There you are, John.
no subject
Date: 2014-03-30 10:20 pm (UTC)From:And then there she is, thankfully in a towel but giving him that look.]
C...Catra! What the hell do you think you are doing in here?! Put some damn clothes on!
[He turns his back on her, hoping maybe she'll just collect her clothes and get dressed. But, he's got this sinking feeling it won't be that easy.]
no subject
Date: 2014-03-30 11:06 pm (UTC)From:Instead, of pick up her clothes, she leaves them lie and goes to sit on his bed. She crosses her legs so the towel splits to show thigh, but it's not utterly indecent. She continues to pat at her hair.]
I came in here to see how you live, then decided to use your shower.
no subject
Date: 2014-03-30 11:13 pm (UTC)From:[Nope, still not turning around. That view of thigh will be wasted on the back of his head, yep.]
Out of the blue?
no subject
Date: 2014-03-31 12:43 am (UTC)From:No. I thought it was a more useful way to spend my time than answering inane questions, that make no sense.
no subject
Date: 2014-03-31 11:41 am (UTC)From:He finally turns around, but he's keeping his eyes high, alternating between her face and the ceiling...though he can't help catching more of an eyeful with a few quick glances down. God help him he's still male.]
You'll have to get used to those. They are part of the package deal.
[He stoops and grabs up some piece of her clothing and throws it at her.]
Get dressed.
no subject
Date: 2014-03-31 03:27 pm (UTC)From:I'm not getting dressed until I'm dry, and putting those back on would defeat the purpose of bathing.
no subject
Date: 2014-03-31 09:52 pm (UTC)From:[He goes back to admiring the craftsmanship of the ceiling.]
Did you bring a different set of clothes in here?! What else are you gonna put on if not those?
no subject
Date: 2014-03-31 10:03 pm (UTC)From:No. You can either let me borrow your towel or you can loan me a shirt. Or there's always neither. Really, John, why are you so unsettled? Are you afraid you'll like what you see?
[She's teasing, taunting a little bit. He's just making it so easy.]
no subject
Date: 2014-03-31 10:15 pm (UTC)From:[He's tapping a toe nervously on the hard floor.]
I'm unsettled because you're my inmate and I don't care if I could get away with it, I'm not going to get involved with you romantically. It's not right. I'm not going to take advantage of you. You're attractive, but I'm looking for more than just a nice pair, and I've already found it. Thinking about you feels like cheating on her.
[He slaps a hand over his mouth. That was way more than he ever wanted to admit to her.]
no subject
Date: 2014-03-31 11:10 pm (UTC)From:[His confession brings a grin to her lips, and makes her laugh that sultry laugh of hers.]
John, who said anything about romance? Certainly, not me. And I've been making it quite clear that I find you appealing long before we were paired. So there is no "taking advantage". And even if you insist on not touching, there's no reason to feel guilty about looking. Just because you're involved doesn't mean you're dead.
no subject
Date: 2014-04-01 12:42 am (UTC)From:I thought I'd made myself clear long before now that I'm not interested. Not even in looking. Now I just have more reasons.

Date: 2014-04-01 11:23 am (UTC)From:He crosses to the closet, hidden in a wall panel, and opens it. He grabs one of the few black shirts hanging in there and tosses it her way.]
I just don't feel like looking at you naked. I ain't that desperate.
no subject
Date: 2014-04-01 03:20 pm (UTC)From:[She taps her lip, looking upwards in mock thought.]
What was the phrase? "You'll have to get used to it"? I may be paraphrasing.
no subject
Date: 2014-04-02 03:33 am (UTC)From:[But, perceiving this challenge, he finally does look squarely at her. His eyes, however, stay front and center on her face.]
I'll get used to it, but that would take some of the fun out of it for you, wouldn't it?
no subject
Date: 2014-04-03 02:34 pm (UTC)From:[She stands, keeping the eye contact, but her hand is on the place where she tucked the towel so it wouldn't slip off her.]
In the interest of honesty, you might want to turn around now.
no subject
Date: 2014-04-03 11:53 pm (UTC)From:[He does turn away at her suggestion.]
I was hoping to keep this on friendly terms. You seem a lot more reasonable than some of the other inmates I've seen around. If you're not than you fake it well. I don't see why we can't be cooperative with one another.
no subject
Date: 2014-04-04 12:53 am (UTC)From:She smirks behind his back and he'll hear the soft sounds of the towel moving. And then it's unceremoniously draped over his shoulder.]
I've told you why. We want different things, John. You want to change me, and I don't want to change.
no subject
Date: 2014-04-04 04:44 am (UTC)From:I just want to help you get some new perspectives. You need to realize there's more to life than militaries and conquests (conquests of any type).
I want you to want more for yourself Catra.

Date: 2014-04-07 04:22 am (UTC)From:You have any friends Catra?

Date: 2014-04-08 02:57 pm (UTC)From:No.

Date: 2014-04-08 05:14 pm (UTC)From:[He believes very strongly in the importance of friendships.]
no subject
Date: 2014-04-08 05:28 pm (UTC)From:I've no interest in making "friends", John.
no subject
Date: 2014-04-08 05:36 pm (UTC)From:[It's a statement. He can tell that just from talking with her.
To his credit, he doesn't throw her off when she comes to drape herself over him. It's not a safe position for him to be in, he's aware, but he's going out on a limb here. He's got something to say to her, and it might double the value to do it while she thinks she's in position of power over him.]
Allies like Scorpius.
no subject
Date: 2014-04-08 06:58 pm (UTC)From:Or like Sterling. Or Frances, lovely gentleman. Both highly stimulating in their own ways.
[She's playing it all down to casual entertainments. She leaves out others she has her eye that are far more obviously dangerous.]
no subject
Date: 2014-04-09 03:31 am (UTC)From:I know about you drugging my food Catra.
[Gard suggested that he test the theory to see if it was true. Instead, maybe he'll take the shortcut. This flood might prove useful after all. He pulls out of Catra's arms and turns to face her.]
Did Scorpius tell you to do it?
no subject
Date: 2014-04-09 03:46 am (UTC)From:He did.
no subject
Date: 2014-04-10 04:16 am (UTC)From:What does it do?
[The conversation helps distract him from it.]
no subject
Date: 2014-04-10 05:01 am (UTC)From:[She curls onto her side, resigned to the interrogation. If he was going to make her tell all, then she'd do it while comfortable.]
no subject
Date: 2014-04-10 06:08 pm (UTC)From:[He crosses his arms, frowning at her so casually curled up on his bed, very much like a cat.]
How long have you and him been in cahoots?
no subject
Date: 2014-04-10 06:15 pm (UTC)From:[Are you making up words now, John?]
no subject
Date: 2014-04-11 11:37 am (UTC)From:How long have you been working together?

no subject
Date: 2014-04-17 03:04 pm (UTC)From:I have no idea. You'll have to ask him.
no subject
Date: 2014-04-18 04:51 pm (UTC)From:[He needs another conversation with Scorpius like he needs a nail in his head.]
Now, how about you work on getting the rest of the way dressed? You've had your fun, party's over.
