Chapter 4- Facetious

A/N: Just a clarifier from the last chapter- Cynthia did not call Jenny Madame Director, the paragraph in which that was said was Gibbs recounting the event, so it was him thinking of Jenny and subconsciously using that name. Sorry if I confused anyone.

There were a lot of definitions for this word, but I just picked the one I liked the best.

Also- sooooo sorry that it has taken me so long to update- I've been super busy, and also suffering from a severe case of writers block. I might post another unrelated one shot tonight to make up for it.

Disclaimer- Apparently you all don't know the NCIS producers as well as I thought, so I still don't own NCIS. *tear*

Gibbs and Jenny walked up the stairs, keeping a careful distance apart. They would have liked to have been closer, but as Director and Special Agent in Charge, they couldn't afford to be the subject of any office scuttlebutt. After making their way into the sanctuary of Jenny's office, they let their conversation begin.

"Jen- he's DiNozzo. You aren't used to his sense of humor already?"

Jen sighed, exasperated, and ran her hand through her hair.

She walked back to her desk and sat down before saying, "Well of course I am, or else he would have been fired three years ago. But what he said was honestly out of line."

"But Jen, all he said was-"

He was cut off by Jen jumping up and covering his mouth with her hand. She wore the same expression she had when he had tried to talk about Marseille in the car when they were chasing Ari- half smiling, half annoyed.

"Don't repeat. If was a facetious remark that will never be thought of or spoken again. Do I make myself clear?"

Gibbs nodded, but she could tell that he wasn't 100% crystal.

"What?" she snapped, annoyed.

"See, if you had used a word other that facetious, I'd be good. But you just had to go and confuse me, didn't you? What does it mean?"

Jen laughed, her previous foul mood already gone.

This one she would explain out of context.

"So, Jethro. If you could describe Tony's jokes in four words, what would you say?"

"Stupid?"

"That's only one word."

"Very, very, very stupid?"

"Nice try, but no."

"I don't know, Jen- supposed to be funny?"

"Bingo!" she grinned.

"Still, Jen, all he said was-"

She had managed to cover his mouth again, but this time she couldn't help but let a giggle (or two) escape from her own lips.
