Lordy. Not only would that have screwed up any chance of a normal relationship down the line eventually, as you say, but what are the chances they'd have gotten it -right-? These are the idiots who never saw any use for her as anything but an assassin. And who thought using Kimura for anything but a point-and-push a -good idea-.

Hah! I haven't seen Bones, but...yeah. Doesn't bring it up, doesn't flirt, and bluntly tells anyone who brings up the issue in the hopes of, etc., that they simply aren't good enough.

Not that different from Laura, come to think of it, just with less blithely frank lack of appreciation and a lot more aristocratic hauteur.

Also, I waited a whole day, on purpose, to post a reply. Noone else around here wants to talk about -innuendo- of all things? Wow, tough crowd.

Edit: Well...okay, it WAS Christmas Day. Only reason I was around all day to reply is I had a twelve-hour shift.
