Well, now they<em>definitely</em>couldn't use the bike, if Ruby was coming along to the convention, also.  "No...not that I really remember," she offered when asked about a 'live' event.  Okay.  So she could say no, but there was apparently no charge, either.  In a bit of introspection, that did actually make sense.  It wouldn't have been good business for PCI to charge for every photo of one of their models taken at an event.  (Candid shots, like when crossing a convention floor, were not quite the same.)  No, PCI just let those occasional ones go by, seeing it as an opportunity to build their brand name and get some really good press behind them.  Which they could always use, whenever accusations were made against them.<br/><br/>Yang felt pretty good about this...but something really bothered Sveta about it.  It seemed almost too perfect, really.  Okay, yeah, they were basically making their living as models, selling their bodies and appearances, but that was hardly bad compared to what girls had to do historically.  Still, there was something...off.  What it was, she couldn't pin down at this time.  "You don't really have<em>that</em>many to keep her away from, Yang.  Maybe find one of her friends to go with her - has she said anything about that?"
