Finishing in the cooler room, Jenackt cleaned his hands from the blood of the butchering. It had been a little easier for him in the kitchens since Qorri had left; he was more relaxed and wasn't worried about her hard eyes coming down on him should he make the slightest wrong move. But, the kitchens were a little louder, to be honest, and not as well controlled. Perhaps it was bit more messy too, but it was usually cleaned up before the end of the evening.
He pulled his apron off and yawned, more than ready to head back to the barracks, but was stopped by the playful flirtatious voice behind him.
"Goin' back already, Jenackt?" Jhanri watched him with appreciative eyes, her lips pursed slightly as she put aside the knife she had been chopping vegetables with.
"Uhm...done for the day." Jenackt shrugged.
"You work quick." The woman beside Jhanri noted, a gleam in her eye. "You don't do everything quick do you?"
Jhanri elbowed the other woman. "Seeci, I swear you got no class."
The banter and arguing was familiar; the pair often tried to get him to stop for a while to talk. Seeci was the brash one, and Jhanri the subtle flirt, but both had often made him uncomfortable with their laughs and innuendo. Jenackt stopped before he did what he usually did: walk away. He really understood more about what the innuendo was all about. Determined now to not let them watch him scurry off with a red face while they giggled, Jenackt turned back to the pair and spoke, his voice smooth as he flashed a smug little smile. "No, I tend to take my time on the really important things." Let them chew on that.
_That_ made both women pause and both women stopped their arguing to turn to look at him. Pairs of brows rose as Seeci leapt on the opening Jenackt had left her before Jhanri could interject. "Really? Want to take some time with me? We could..."
Jhanri scowled at Seeci and interrupted. There was no way that Seeci of all people was going to get her claws in the handsome young man, not when he was finally talking to them and not running off! "Ignore her, Jenackt. From what I hear, she's a bit dry where it counts."
"Hey!"
Jhanri continued, moving around the table to face Jenackt with a sultry smile. She'd been angling for the boy since he'd gotten there, and all she'd ever gotten before were confused and embarrassed looks from him, but not now. He was looking at her like he would eat her up and she liked it. "I have all the time you might need."
Jenackt blinked. That had been extraordinarily easy. His smile widened and apparently, it had the same effect on these women that it had on Saibra and Saidrene. Even more interesting. He let himself look over Jhanri, appreciating her developed curves and was about to reply when Seeci shouldered her way over. The woman was fuller, but there was a sensuality to her fullness that he wanted to explore.
Seeci inhaled, showing off her more bounteous charms and Jenactk's interest increased. She eyed Jhanri with a smug grin and sidled over to the young man, laying a hand on his chest. "You'd rather be with someone that knows what they're doing, wouldn't you?"
His eyes flicked back and forth between the two of them and realized a dilemma. If he chose one over the other, then the kitchens would possibly be even more tense between the two for the next few days. But if he chose neither...well, shards...it had been a day or so since he'd shared a bed with Saidrene.
They saw his indecision and doubt fill his expression. Jhanri glanced at Seeci and held up a hand. "Wait a moment, Jenackt. I might have a solution." She tugged Seeci away for just a minute and began whispering in her ear. Jenackt watched as Seeci's eyes widened and her eyes flicked to Jhanri and then to Jenackt. He frowned as Seeci did as well, but as she began to smile a little, then gradually wider, he suddenly became a bit nervous. What exactly were those two planning? Those smiles were positively devilish. Maybe he should have just left before he started all of this... He saw the pair seem to agree on something and approach him together.
Seeci smoothed her skirt and grabbed one of Jenackt's arms; Jhanri snagged the other. "Come with us."
**Us?** Ideas began to run rampant in his mind as he was tugged away from the kitchens.

Much later, Jenackt stared up at the ceiling a wide smile on his face. Two naked women curled up on either side of him, both very rumpled and both blissfully asleep. He loved the Weyr. He really _really_ loved the Weyr...
