Thug Life Pony

When Eli 'Weevil' Nevarro heard through the grapevine that Veronica Mars was behind bars, seeing that was an opportunity he couldn't pass up. He swaggered through the corridor, hands in his pockets like he owned the place, smirking at the deputies as he passed them in the hall. It was refreshing to be at the station and not under arrest.

When he came into the cell room Veronica was sitting on a cot facing the hall and…braiding her hair?

"Well, well, well, Mars behind bars, huh? You didn't need to go through all this effort to seduce me, V, you know all you have to do is ask for a bit of this."

She looked up and smirked, "I'll remember that the next time I want a ride on your big ol' hog. Would you believe it was actually my sweet, kind heart that landed me in the clink?"

She moved over to the door of the cell and leaned on the bars, arms dangling out.

He snorted, and moved closer to the cell. "Yeah, that would be a first."

"Charmed. You get all the girls with those lines, vato?"

He just laughed. "Seriously though, you gonna be ok? Do I need to beat a confession outta someone for you?"

She gave him a genuine smile, "Aw you came here just for me? So sweet! Thanks, but no favours needed this time. They won't have enough evidence for a conviction, especially since I'm actually innocent."

"Huh, really is a first time for everything."

"Hush thy mouth, sir, you offend me so!" she retorted in a southern accent and batted at him with her hand.

Weevil just shook his head with a smile.

"So what's, uh, going on with your hair, V?"

"Got the jail cell blues, Weev, gotta look tough on the inside you know. Don't want this sweet old face being ruined."

"Uh huh, then where your tats at girl?"

"Alas, there's no one here to stamp a mark on this slice of paradise."

He hunted around in his pocket and pulled out a pen, "This'll do."

She looked at him in astonishment then laughed and offered him her arm. "Knock yourself out."

He grabbed it gently through the bars and started doodling, "Can't have your tiny white ass beat up in here now can we."

Veronica snorted "It would be the cause of devastation for many, I'm sure," she responded drily.

"My heart would be broke, V, you know that," he gave her a smouldering glance and smirk.

"Oh Weevil, your declarations of love always make me go all weak at the knees!" she joked, putting her free hand over her heart, "What are you branding me with anyway?"

"Wait a sec, nearly done."

Veronica gave a him a sideways look, "Am I going to regret this kindness too?"

"Have a bitta trust ,V, you'll love it." He gave one last flourish. "Alright, check it out."

Veronica looked down and saw a My Little Pony posing under the words 'THUG LIFE' then laughed.

"This is perfect, no one will mess with the badass pony girl!"

"Toughest bitch on the inside, that's you all over," Weevil replied with a chuckle. He pushed himself away from the bars and started walking backwards toward the door.

"I gotta go, V, need to get back to work."

"Thanks for coming in, Weevil, I appreciated it," said Veronica, still admiring her new 'tattoo'.

"Anytime V. Later."

"Later. Remember, V, love you long time," and gave him an air kiss through the bars.

He pretended to catch it and pressed his hand to his heart, "I'll think of you when the nights are cold, baby." And with a wink he was gone.
