"Knowing my luck in the dating world, that would have been your date, the two of us sitting around a table with a pizza talking about tactics for how I don't have my career axed." She laughed for a little bit longer before she returned her gaze towards Beth. "Really though, I appreciate the offer to help me out El- erm... B-beth." This would mark the first time that Mira sued the condensed version of the older woman's name, and she seemed a little uneasy, as she wondered how she would react.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>“I actually prefer ‘Beth,’” she said when she noticed Mira was unsure over the issue. “Basically, since I was eight years old I insisted everyone call me that instead of ‘Liz,’ which is what my parents used. I never liked how that sounded. When Melissa wanted to get under my skin a bit, she’d call me, ‘my little Lizard.’” Beth laughed slightly at the memory, then remembered where she was—it was pretty bad form to talk about that sort of thing on a first date.<br/><br/>“I have to admit, I actually don’t mind sitting around eating pizza and chatting about mechs—but you’re right, that’s definitely not early date material.”
