[She's never heard of a woman visiting a brothel before, though she supposes there's no reason why not. This woman surely goes for-- for other women, Rosalind is certain; she's been peppering her with compliments since they met.
But it's hard to imagine, and Rosalind decides she's best tucking that thought away til later.]
Selling things others can't make.
I'm a genius. While I'd prefer to indulge myself on other things, for the time being, it means I'm useful at inventing concoctions that others might want. Whether it's bug repellent or bullets, I'm decent at putting anything together.
Beauty and brains, that's a killer combo if I've seen one.
[She takes in her pitch, smiling at the other woman's pride in herself and her skills. Confidence is plenty attractive to her, and the way she speaks of her plans has her in thought as they walk along.]
So you have the talent to create...anything you say? I don't suppose you'd have the means of putting together a decent ship to travel these waters would you?
[How curious. Isabela tries to even think of a potential thing to challenge her to make, but besides the things she'd longed for from home (A decent ship, a nice new sharp set of daggers, enough coin to book the Blooming Rose solid for a month-) she can't think of anything significant. Instead she just shakes her head and shrugs.]
I'm only joking. I imagine that'll bring in good money for you though, with you being smart enough to play the field. [She thinks about making that into its own innuendo for a solid moment before letting it drop. She's teased and flustered the other woman enough, even if she'd been pleased at the reactions so far.] I might even have to drop by once you're all set up, that's certainly a useful skill worth paying for.
[Could she build a ship? Probably, Rosalind decides, because with enough time and research, she can do almost anything. A ship is something ordinary people can do; she can certainly master it. But she's also pleased Isabela was only teasing, because frankly, carpentry seems very boring.]
I'm working out of my home for the moment-- though you're more than welcome to stop by there.
Inviting me to your home so soon after meeting me? But you haven't even taken me out to dinner first.
[She actually takes a moment to look shocked and appalled before breaking out into a fit of giggles. As if she was ever the wine and dine before bed type anyway, more like wine and bed really. She gives a slightly apologetic smile once she stops laughing though, because the last thing she wants is to drive this lovely woman away from her when she keeps becoming more and more interesting the more she learns things about her.]
Sorry, sorry. I couldn't help myself with that one. I'd be honored to check it out though once we get to where we're headed, your business that is. You've a good head on your shoulders, and I'm curious to see what you've come up with so far.
[She huffs out a laugh, equal parts pleased and embarrassed. Two women fucked and she's still tentative about it, but she's getting better.]
It's primarily based in Olympia, unfortunately. But you're still more than welcome to stop by-- though frankly, if you want to be impressed, you ought to wait a few months. The things I can scrape together aren't nearly as impressive as what I used to do in my lab.
I think it would be worth the travel to come and see your lovely face, dear.
[She winks, grinning. She likes seeing her so proud of herself, and people say confidence isn't attractive. It all also seems a little out of her expertise, but it's nice to hear her talk and focus on her instead of the wildlife around them.]
From the sounds of it though I doubt there's much I wouldn't be impressed by with you. If you had the means, what would you rather be making? What's our lady Rosa at her finest really capable of?
[It's a smug assertion, but it's also very true. More importantly, though:]
Are you always this complimentary to people you barely know?
[Not that she minds. Not that she isn't thrilled by it. But still, asking that seems better than just flustering over her flirtations and arrogantly agreeing to her compliments.]
Not everyone, I'm fairly picky when it comes down to it. [And shallow, but she leaves that little bit out.] I've got a good feeling about you though, so I can't help myself. You're also helping me out of this confusing mess and giving me shelter, and not even my best compliments make good thanks for that.
[She's been finding it fun flirting with her while learning about her, making their walk through the woods much less a tedious slog than it would be alone or in silence.]
Its all sincere though, hard not to be with someone as attractive as you are. I trust my gut when it comes to you, and you've been proving me right on that one. Taking to you makes all this greenery much less boring, and you're into such advanced and interesting things. My curiosity is just dying to see it all.
