"Vala uses sexual advances and innuendo to confuse and distract. It's a little bit slight of hand to keep you from noticing while she's robbing you blind. It's a little bit misdirection so you don't realize she's lying through her teeth. It's a little bit force of defensive habit. It means nothing. Well, not that you get the impression that she would particularly mind getting a quick lay out of the deal, but it's all strategy to her. I'm not interested."
Ahhhh, Daniel nearly understands Vala! *grin* And I do mean 'nearly'. She's very, very good at what she does, out of necessity for the live she's led. Now I suppose we must wonder if it is truly all strategy to her, or if part of her strategy is to let her strategy be known?
'swhy I like Vala. More complicated than she seems - and the men who work with her are more interested than they let on, methinks.
