"So, Ava, what's going on between you and Archer?"
Fable had cornered Ji-ho after they'd returned back to the repair station. The Auburn-haired man was positively brimming with curiosity as he waited for her answer.
"Nothing-"
"He has a thing for you, doesn't he?"
"Of course not," Ji-ho replied with a laugh. "Where'd you hear such a ridiculous-"
Fable smiled slyly as he wagged a finger at the pretty blonde navigator.
"Ava darling, I hadn't pegged you to be such a convincing liar. I would believe you if I wasn't a man."
"Hah! Being a man doesn't give you the power to tell truth from lie," she countered with a dismissive shake of her head.
"No," Fable said with another sly smile. "It only gives me the power to recognise the look in another man's eyes when he's fallen head over heels for someone."
Ji-ho's smile faltered.
