Wow, I haven't up-dated this in aaaaages. Sorry. 'If the Cap Fits' is almost complete, so I've been using my spare time to try to finish that; do check it out. =-)
Anyway, returning to this chapter. What started off as a simple conversation led to its own conclusion through the use of partially logical argument... I think. Enjoy!

"Yes."

Jess breathed in deeply. "No. Because... because dinosaurs still only appear sometimes. You can't dress just in case one appears!"
"In this job, it would be the sensible thing to do."
There was a pause as the pair stared each other down, until Jess suddenly starting smiling.
"So you'd best not dress in black then. Here you go. Colour." She held out the bright green hot pants and a luminous pink T-shirt.
"Jess..." warned Becker, looking decidedly scared.
"It would be the sensible thing to do."
