Nice. But I need help. I guessed that it was Chix doing the groping? Which would bring in the Green!factor. But I'm confused about Jade... I think that has to mean Juliet (Holly's Twu Wuv) but I don't see her. And I don't get the second slant...

But on the surface level, I really like the fic! The cynicism from Vinyaya is very nice, and the situation is so real, I can almost not imagine not happening. Well done!

Actually, before I cut it down, Holly mentioned that it was someone called Cadet Aconite... (Which is a poisonous plant, hohoho.)

As for the title, like I said - verbs. To "green" something is to make it green, and in this case I'm using "green" (adjective) in the sense of "naive" or "inexperienced". To "jade" something is to wear it down, like jaded. So Holly is "green" and Vinyaya "jade"... Thus, Holly/Vinyaya. ;)

It's not actually meant to be a reallyshippy!fic, but I think this is the sort of background that would be needed for H/V.

Thankies. :) I think this is something that could really happen - Vinyaya's fought her way up through the chauvinistic system and she must have experienced things like that.

Very clever! Agreemint - 'tis a good background for a H/V fic.
