Email to Amanda from Domino

To: Sefton, Amanda
From: Domino


And I'm sure this is all kinds of forward, me emailing you out of the blue like this, but from what I've heard from Nate and Pete, you're not the type to worry about stuff like that.

So hi there, Amanda. I would be Domino. Call me Dom, actually; that's what the rest of the family calls me, and that's pretty much what you are at this point. I ought to be jealous, really, but I suppose I've grown up enough that Nate has a certain 'trouble, young and female'-shaped hole in his heart that he's just gotta fill. Enjoy it, eh? He can be a pain in the fucking ass at times, but he'll always be there when you need him. Even when you don't want to admit you do. He's a pushy bastard, really.

Anyhow, I did really have a reason to email you... I figure I'll be back in New York, probably sooner rather than later, and I have this irresistible impulse to take you shopping, spoil you rotten, and see just how much corrupting is left to be done with you. A big sister has her responsibilities, after all, and I'm rather into the idea of scandalizing Nate and Pete. It makes me feel all tingly.

So get better soon, kiddo, because you're going to need all your energy if the two of us do get together to paint the town.

Dom

So, you're the infamous Dom. *grins* Nate and Pete have told me about you to the point it feels like I know you already. No need to worry about being forward, or not, even if I did care about that bollocks. *grins*

I would be Amanda. I dunno what those two have been telling you, but at least you ain't coming after me for invading your patch, so to speak. While it'd be as entertaining as hell, Nate probably don't need any more stress, least not at the moment. And him keeling over again would upset a lot of people.

You're coming back? I've got to say I'm glad to hear it, since I was kicking meself for missing you last time. Not that I had a huge amount of choice in it, but I'll make sure this time I'm where I'm supposed to be and actually awake. Especially if scandalising the boys is going to be happening - Nate still reacts well (he's cute when he's flustered), but Pete's getting a bit too jaded to do anything more than be sarcastic at me. Reinforcements and new ideas are definitely needed. And I never say no to spoiling. *grins*

Lucky for me I heal fast. Well, fast for someone who don't have a healing factor, which is just plain cheating. I'm hoping to be out of the bloody medlab soon, provided me powers of persuasion work on the other two docs as well as they do on Moira (I think Nate's making her soft), which would be sweet as since I hate this fucking place. Too much metal and machines and not enough to do if you ain't sleeping.

And speaking of docs, here they are now, so I'll finish up here and set me mind to wheedling me way out of here. Thanks for writing, 'big sis'. *grins* Distraction is always good, 'specially when it comes with offers of town-painting. Have fun doing whatever it is you're doing at the moment.

Both Nate-bestowed, I gather, but at least yours lends itself to better jokes. And Nate and Pete have been talking about me, have they? The bastards... they could let a girl get to know her new little sister without all their highly exaggerated cautionary tales getting in the way. Grr.

But hey... not to worry, no sibling rivalry here. I'd be awfully inconsistent, expecting Nate to treat me like an adult and all, if I simultaneously started sulking that he was getting all paternal with you. And much as I do like to fuck with him under normal circumstances, you're right. We'll take it easy on the old man for the time being.

I will definitely be back. Not precisely sure when, yet, but I rather liked New York. One of the fringe benefits of my line of work are fat paycheques that I don't generally have much time or opportunity to spend, given that we're usually off to the next godforsaken place with indecent speed. So when I come, we'll have to go out and splurge. I was quite serious about the shopping. Got anyone to dress up for back at that school? ::grins::

You take care. I'll send you something from Uzbekistan.

Tiger? *grins* I hate to say it, but you're right - I did get off easy with the nickname. Damn thing's spreading around the school, tho', which is why I've ended up using it - no sense battling the inevitable. And it's a lot better than some of the things I've been called. *grins* Don't tell Nate, but I sort of like it.

Well, the stories Pete and Nate were telling me were _supposed_ to be cautionary; they just made me more curious to meet you, which is probably not what was supposed to happen. Silly buggers, they didn't think dropping hints about you and bar fights wasn't going to make me want to meet you? *snorts*

I'm getting the hang of this shopping gig. And you don't seem the type to put me in girly shite, unlike a certain French classmate, so this could be a lot of fun. There's a couple of places in New York you might like to see... *eg* I like the idea of getting something that would give Nate a coronary and then going out to test it out on the local population. I dunno if you're into the clubbing scene much at all, but there are some places in New York where we could get up to all kinds of mischief.

And yeah, I can think of a couple of someone's (one at the school, one in town, well, if either of them are still talking to me, that is - 's complicated) who'd appreciate a change from the usual jeans and t-shirt range. I ain't exactly what you call exclusive. I don't see the point really and if no-one minds, where's the harm?

*humphs* All this talk of fun has made me impatient now. Stupid body. Get better already!
