astrogirl2 up, here's another drabble salvo in the Vila vs Tarrant pun war.Banking on It

"Do tell."
"Hitting the state system. I'd've gone for a nice soft little merchant bank myself."

"Deal with customers?"
"Yes, she did."
Vila's face lit up with sheer delight. "She go in for Sicilian folk-dancing?"
Tarrant stared and Avon grinned with anticipation.
Vila looked innocent. "A Tarrant teller."
