Part of her felt very certain that he was only being so attentive because it was what he was paid to do. Still, even the members of her clan had a hard time looking interested when she spoke unless it was in reference to their allowances. Even her brother, who loved her best, couldn't help but get a glazed-over look when he wasn't busy being indignant about something she'd done.
Even the other women… she was just too young. Younger looking still when surrounded by Diné women, who did not prize youthful looks in their matriarchs.
She flushed at the thought of the pretty boys she had assumed that he would be, the thought of any man trying to buy him, trying to treat him the way her brother treated women. Did that mean he couldn't afford to be picky, if the women who wanted him were rare?
It didn't matter. She reminded herself that it did not matter. If it mattered what he wanted, he wouldn't be a whore.
… but if he didn't earn his living at it, that meant he could be very picky indeed. Mai didn't know much about plumbing, but if he worked on the power…
Her mind was going in five directions at once, and it did not do much to help in her fidgeting. It wasn't just the tugging at her braids, though there was that. Sitting as she was made her uncomfortable, not quite sure what to do with her legs. She preferred to have them curled underneath her or crossed in front of her, the front panel spread out to protect her modesty, but these chairs didn't really suit either of those things. She wound up instead crossing and uncrossing them at the ankles, moving her knees to the left and to the right and finding neither direction preferable.
"We had to travel a ways," she agreed. "Wouldn't even consider anywhere else." Though there were plenty of places nearer to home that were good enough for him. "Not that I haven't – I've had some encounters," she added, defensively. She couldn't seem to decide whether it was worse for him to think her possessed of too much experience or too little. "… one. One encounter. It was. Sweaty? And short. And not. Comfortable." Really it had just been terribly awkward overall, which meant either that she was very bad at sex or had been deceived by authors long-dead.
With a small huff of irritation she gave up on sitting properly – because she was paying for this date, dammit, and she would sit how she wanted. She held down the front panel of her dress, pulled her legs up to rest the soft leather of her shoes on her knees before smoothing it out. She took off her bowler to rest it in her lap, and having it there gave her something less obvious to fiddle with, spinning the beaded hatband around it.
"I don't mind if you just want to talk," she said, though she did very much mind. So much for honesty being one of her virtues. She was paying him to please her, but she found herself wanting to do the very opposite. Was that a thing, to pay a person to pretend that they were pleased? "You can tell me about the power," she suggested, perking up. "It's a wind generator, right? Is it all old tech or did you build any of it?"
