Ouroboros Spine kuli ⧫

Her laughter was definitely encouraging.  It was wasn't often a chick was into his brand of humor (though he'd barely scraped the surface here, let's be real.). Pretty face and a good sense of humor, two checks for the ol' list.  Zane's interest was piqued and he summarily ignored Duchess completely.  Not that she pointed any of her warnings or attention his way either.  

Lane and Zane.  Easy to remember.  He liked a straightforward name and most around here seemed like they had somethin to prove with theirs.  Hers seemed to fit her fine, though he wondered if he couldn't find her a nickname too.  And she was makin some nonsense claim about a husband.  He winked, then laughed.  That shit's wild.  I mean, you're gorgeous, don't get me wrong. Everything here just feels like some kind of game everyone else is playin, y'know?  Rules on rules.  And I ain't big on rules.

Fuck it, he'd feel her out.  She was the first one here who hadn't looked at him like he was full of shit for even trying to be here, so maybe he'd found some kind of kindred spirit.  He still wasn't lookin for any kind of wife but maybe Duchess was wrong.  Maybe she wasn't lookin for much by way of formalities either.  So I guess I'm more interested in hearin about you myself.
