Former soldier, then, Morinth reasoned. She'd been around those types long enough to know that only elite officers were in the kind of pay grade that allowed them to knock back that kind of booze without blinking, and most of them wouldn't be bothering with a VIP club on Omega, no matter how deviant. Made her wonder what had driven the woman out of the service. Someone with that kind of look and demeanor was the type to stay in for life, not high-tail it for a few easy credits-- though, whoever Soldier Girl was working for now was paying her quite well, apparently, and they didn't like leaving tracks. That much was evident by the woman's use of credit chits with set limits-- ones that wouldn't be linked to an account. Could always tell which were which by subtle deviations in the color

Just a quick note to say, I'm playing around with POV a bit on this one. Also, I apologize for any egregious mistakes/spelling errors. I wanted to get this one out before it got too late/I had to go places, so it might be a little rushed. Anyway, thanks for the comments so far, and hope this continues to hold up~
From start to finish, the entire thing had felt awkward

But that was neither here nor there-- it was a distraction. Still, better to ask for verification, rather than walk into a trap. Or... the wrong trap, as the case may be

derp. last one should have been 'b.' I do know my alphabet, i swear...
The indirect approach was one Morinth had considered to be a possible failing route, all told, but to her mind, it wouldn't do to simply ambush a trained soldier. It would have set of all kinds of warning signs, started their interaction out on an unnecessarily hostile tone, if years of combat had trained in instinctual triggers in the woman, as often it did. This way, there might still be some caution present, but it would be less so than sparking a sudden rise of adrenaline

"It's-- Jane," the woman admitted, looking down at her drink.
Sheepish enough for it to be somehwere in the vicinity of the truth-- but halting enough to be a partial lie. Hadn't offered a surname, either.
"I don't get to know your last name?" Morinth asked, feigning disappointment.
"Maybe later," 'Jane' offered, smiling lopsidedly, her eyes returning to Morinth's. "There's a lot of mercs around here, and too many in earshot to make it worth outing myself."
"Sounds like there's a story behind that," Morinth said, genuinely curious. "But don't feel rushed to tell me, if you're nervous about it. It's a pleasure to meet you, regardless."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, too," the woman said-- again, as if not expecting to be saying it. That much, she allowed to give voice to by adding, "Like you said-- the last thing I expected when I came in here was good conversation."
-----And that much was the god's-honest truth

That faint shiver along the woman's shoulders was enough of an indicator to Morinth that she'd gotten her proverbial foot in the door-- but there was still a hint of apprehension threatening to slam the brakes on this nascent liaison. It was expected; rarely did someone with such heavily-asserted self control come apart at the seams, even in light of the most inviting requests

"I would, actually," Morinth said, carefully drawing down the note of humor in her tone, altering the pacing of her speech just enough to inject the sultry lilt she'd caught the woman's attention with before. "It's quite a visual. You, alone... letting your hand wander down your body once you're sure no one's looking, seeing your breathing get tense, staggered, even as you stop to wonder if you should let yourself go, or hold out for one more night..." Raising her free hand, she gently traced the backs of her fingers over the sharp angle of the soldier's jaw, indulging in the mix of unacknowledged need and apprehension her words and actions had inspired; adopted a delicate smile, one she was careful to keep well away from impressions of sympathy, or pity. "You're wondering the same thing right now," she continued gently, leaning in just a little, letting her voice drop to sweeten the implied offer, "aren't you? If it's safe to let go just a little bit more... if anyone's around to see what's beneath the facade-- what's beneath these

And was it really such a bad thing to want a brief refuge from the loneliness Morinth herself had mentioned, in a moment where their usage of each other was mutual? Was it wrong to take a perverse amount of pleasure from knowing she had the upper hand, that she was pulling a fast one on this woman as blatantly as Morinth was trying to pull a fast one on her? Would it really be a dire sin to accept what sincere interest was offered, when Samara already knew that it would come to this? Had said as much, from the beginning

Moar Morinth, plz!
