This was not normally Echo's scene. Crowds made her nervous, even more self-conscious than usual, but she'd been determined to get out of her bolthole and into a larger environment. She'd even bought new clothes, a pair of black chinos and a purple silk shirt. She really hoped she didn't spill anything on herself tonight. Dry cleaning cost a fortune.
'Oh, come on!'
The complaint was loud even over the din of chatter from the tables, and the hybrid watched as another brunette tried to bend down and pick up her poker chips and keep her dress from exposing her to the room at the same time. Echo's callused left hand rubbed over her jawline. Should she be gallant and try to help?
What the hell.
"Make room," she said gruffly, stepping between bodies so she could get close enough to make herself useful. Her second-hand boots stepped on a token, and she moved her feet so she could crouch down and pick it up. She saw the key around the stranger's neck, then looked back down at the carpet so it wouldn't look like she was staring at her boobs.
"It's times like this when I wish I had an invisible wall, y'know?"
