By the time Revy got into the centre of Roanapur, it became clear to her that there was something off about the last few days. Sure, Rock was a nice guy who was at least averagely attractive, but why would Balalaika like him?

Eda wasn’t a “proper” nun, so it was clear why she would enjoy teasing Rock. Hell, Revy herself certainly enjoyed a little flirty teasing with him.

But Balalaika?

Did she really like Rock? Or was this just some sort of weird game of hers?

‘Fry-Face has never done this sort of thing before,’ the Chinese-American woman mused. ‘Rock’s just not the sort of guy who’d sleep with anyone, no matter how lonely he got...’

Revy looked up and saw a luxury sedan that she recognised as belonging to Hotel Moscow.

“What are they doing here?”

After 3 years and almost 2 months... an update.

Ouch... Talk about unflattering. At least Rock did not hear it.

 

[Lord Raa]

Time for an update.

It took a while for me to figure out what to put for this scene, as what I'd gotten down early didn't fit with the character of Balalaika and I struggled to find a way to progress things.

That said, here's something new that I wouldn't have written today if I'd had more cash on hand - I was going to see my brother and go out for a few drinks, but I'm skint until Friday, when I get paid..

Despite his earlier reservations, Rock was enjoying now genuinely himself. Balalaika had surprised him with her sense of humour.

Oh, he was well aware of the fact that she could kill him without breaking a sweat, but his breakfast with the Russian was putting him at ease.

At least it was up until the point when he noticed that Revy had just walked into the restaurant.

Balalaika maintained the smile on her face as the Chinese-American walked up to their table.

“Can we help you with anything, Revy?”

“I... I don’t know. What’s going on with you and Rock?”

“Breakfast. Normally, I’d tell someone who interrupts my meals with nonsense to fuck the fuck off. But I’m in a good mood right now. Would you like to join us, Revy? Have the breakfast special, it’s good.”

Revy blinked in surprise. She knew that Balalaika was telling the truth, but what was the deal with her and Rock? “Y-yeah. I could eat something.”

Balalaika could have been in the next room and still noticed the changes in Rock’s body language before and after she’d offered a place at the table to Revy.

“Why is it that everyone thinks that I’m nothing more than a ruthless killer, who’ll stop at nothing to get what she wants?” the Russian joked.

“Experience,” Rock replied, causing Balalaika to chuckle.

“...” Revy was at a loss for words. ‘Since when does Balalaika make jokes?’

“I can see why you kept Rock close, Revy. He’s smart, funny, polite. Next thing you know, we’ll find out that he’s hung like a horse.”

Revy burst out laughing at the absurdity of Balalaika’s comment. “You make it sound like Rock’s marriage material.”

“I’ve seen people happier with a lot less than what Rock has to offer. And I’m not just talking about broken people in a shithole like Roanapur, Revy.”

As Rock wasn’t sure what to say in response to that, he decided that discretion was the better part of valour and remained silent. Instead he took a sip of his coffee.

“Careful now, Balalaika, you’ll give Rock a big head.”

“Or maybe I just plan on giving Rock head?” the blonde replied without batting an eyelid.

Rock spluttered in surprise at the unexpected comment from Balalaika. He could half expect a remark like that from Revy or Eda, but Balalaika?

That was a whole different ball game.

The Russian saw what effect she was having on her two dining guests and smiled. “Well, I’m sorry to say this, but I’ve got to go and attend to some other business. Don’t worry about the tab, I’ll take care of that, so finish your meals. I’ll be in touch, Rock,” she winked playfully.

The Japanese man blushed, astounded that Balalaika could be so flirty, let alone with someone like him.

When they were alone, Revy turned to Rock. “What the hell were you two talking about?”

“I don’t know, we made a few jokes, got to know each other better.”

“Fuck me, if you keep this off, you’ll charm the panties off her,” Revy commented as her food arrived.

Rock opened and closed his mouth in silence, unable to formulate a verbal reply.

The tattooed woman started to cut her food up as she commented in what she hoped was a teasing manner. “Kinda makes me jealous...”

However, despite her well-practised nonchalant facade, her voice wasn’t as confident as it would have been on any other subject.

Woah... an update. I hope this means it might be continued...

Interesting that int he end Revy shows more restraint with dealing with her than Eda did.

“Or maybe I just plan on giving Rock head?”

The real question has always been, is if her games... she really does start seeing Rock in more than a playful way.

if you keep this off

I think 'off' should be 'up'. Unless that is a British expression.
