Christmas 2011: Jason and Raya

"You know," Jason grinned wickedly over to Raya as he handed her her freshly printed out boarding pass. "I expected to be randomly searched travelling with you. I assumed you were a racial profiling magnet."
"Oh, I'm not that much of an attention-getter," Raya chuckled. "I'm just the innocent little girl going to Cairo." She grinned as she finished that sentence, breaking the facade. "You see where assumptions get you?"
"Oh, I'm not that much of an attention-getter," Raya chuckled. "I'm just the innocent little girl going to Cairo." She grinned as she finished that sentence, breaking the facade. "You see where assumptions get you?"
"And that right there is why I just assume everyone is out to get me." He smiled to himself, strolling on to baggage check. "Definitely handy though."
Raya only laughed, and shook her head. "I'm not out to get you, Jason. You're more fun with all your functions," she smiled, looking fully innocent, except for the provocative twist of her lips. "Speaking of...it's going to be very long flight, without some entertainment."
"What ever do you mean, you're not going to spend hours watching the same in-flight movie?" Jason seemed shocked at the idea. "Oh, and you can rest assured there shall be in flight entertainment. All you have to do is request and make sure we don't get thrown off the plane."
Raya only smiled, and pretended to look over her boarding pass. "Request? Oh, you should know better than to make the lady ask," she purred, moving closer to Jason as they walked. "I'm fairly sure you can keep your wits about you well enough to cast the illusion that we're being perfectly nice."
"This is true, the flight crew don't stand a chance." Ah, and the request for identification here. Jason handed over his, obviously marked human, and stepped aside to wait for Raya, smiling nicely.
She handed hers over with a sweet smile at the attendant, and got a little nod in return as he barely glanced at it--though it said she was human, anyway--before handing it back. "They're so cute. And so very hopeless," she said softly as they walked on.
"And what's more, they'll keep giving us complimentary treats." Yes, the flight crew was theirs. "What section are we in anyway?" Jason glanced at the tickets.
"Business, as usual," she told him. "Which gives us just enough room." Raya didn't see the point of keeping up the innocent act around Jason, it was fairly pointless unless they were at the mansion. "Though just once I'd like to see if it's as fun in first-class."
"Well, if you're game I'm game." The tickets were now first class for anyone looking.
"Oooh, tricky," she grinned, leaning closer. "I like it... And you should know by now I'm always game with you and Sebastian," she murmured.
"This is true, I should really just assume that by now." Jason smirked, settling down in the waiting room and eying the gate. "One thing about early morning flights, absolutely nobody is here almost."
"You really should," Raya answered, looking around with him. "What is that twisted little mind of yours thinking?" she asked with a curious eyebrow raised.
"I want to confuse the gatekeeper with a bunch of fake people. Is that horrible?"
"Aw," she put on a pout, though it was broken by a devilish grin. "Nothing more than that?"
"I'm still open to requests." He smirked over.
"Persistent," she murmurs, with one sidelong eyeroll just to get his attention. "I think you have some inkling of what I'll request," Raya said, leaning over to whisper one into his ear. "Do you think you're up to it?"
Jason was actually surprised. "Oh you have truly come a long way!" He glanced around, momentarily doubting his skill but...hell, he never really doubted his skill. "I could definitely do it."
"Oh, I hoped so," Raya tossed her head, tongue darting out to wet her lips. "I've come a very long way, since getting to know you a little better," she laughed lightly. "It's so much more fun this way."
"You know, it also occurred to me we've missed the perfect foray into smuggling. Maybe on our way back." Jason smirked more. "Hopefully we get more jobs of this ilk."
"Oh, definitely on our way back. You've never been to an outdoor market, have you?" Raya asked. "They sell all sorts of interesting things." She scooted closer on the bench until her hip brushed up against Jason's. "I think we could convince Mr. Shaw to let us do this again."
"Not unless you count oddly terrifying farmer's markets that I would rather suppress the memory of. I have a feeling I'll enjoy your version a great deal more. Though now I have to wonder just what you're talking about them selling." He arched an eyebrow. "And I'm sure we could."
"Oh, damn near anything you could think of," she said lightly. "But I will say the peaches with honey are delicious. And very sticky," she told him, grin firmly in place.
"Well, that sounds like the perfect 'after establishing our presence' treat." Jason had to admit that it really did. His grin matched hers.
Raya smiled slyly. "I'll show you where to find them," she said. "I can only imagine what your mind is doing with the idea..." As if she didn't have an idea of her own.
"I believe the same could be said for yours since you've taken a turn for the best." Jason commented, imaging what he thought she would be considering.
Raya only smiled and raised a brow. "Oh there's no need to imagine. I'd tell you what my mind is doing with the idea if you asked."
Jason contemplated this. "I think I'd rather you showed me when we get there."
"Oh, I'll do that too," she said lightly. "Ah, almost boarding time," she sighed, checking her watch. "The sooner we get there, the sooner you get your treat."
"I can taste it now." Jason rubbed his hands together exaggeratingly.
"Is that a veiled request?" Raya asked with a laugh. "I'd let you taste whatever you liked, Jason, you know that.."
"I think we'll have to wait until we've boarded the plane at least though. Be a bit difficult otherwise."
"I can be a patient woman. Infinitely."
"Well, you won't have to be too terribly patient." Jason answered back grabbing their bags and turning towards the gate.
"Today must be my lucky day," she laughed, taking her bag from Jason and slinging it over her shoulder. "Let's see how good you are at holding that little trick you've got going with those papers," she murmurs.
"Absolutely the best." Jason promised, giving her a wink.
She laughed, and smiled at the wink, giving one back. "You're such a bad influence on me," she teased. "And I love it so."
"Oh, I'm not that much of an attention-getter," Raya chuckled. "I'm just the innocent little girl going to Cairo." She grinned as she finished that sentence, breaking the facade. "You see where assumptions get you?"
