There's nothing wrong with taking what's offered.
[doesn't even blink, but cringes inwardly and sends a mental apology to Bri]
Or do you think so?
[squares his shoulders a little - careful, lady; you won't get him with the same trick twice, and neither will he let you have his heart so easily if that's what you're after]
Why are you interested in who I kiss, anyway? She's just a girl who doesn't mind my business; it's no big deal. It doesn't hurt the company. If she wanted to tattle she'd long have done so - well, that is, I'd long have... taken her out.

Heh.
[suddenly, her hands are around your neck-- gently, though, but still in a position to strangle]
If I wanted to, I could have you dead right now, dear. That wouldn't do, though, would it? You wouldn't want to leave without telling your dear fiancée goodbye, hm♥?

[whirls around and raises his arm]
Why the hell are you so sure you would win against me? God damn it, I'm so done with everybody pushing me around! Can't you see that I'm dangerous too?
And what the hell did I do? Is fooling around with a woman o-on the side a punishable crime against the corporation now? I keep my tree well fed!
[if you can parse scents, you might smell a faint hint of orange blossoms wafting upwards]
[it would appear as though you have a visitor]

[yyyyyep that smile just turned a little dark]
It was a bit chilly, hm?

[welp, time to light up a cigarette]
[exhale]
Such a lovely girl as all that, well. I can indeed see the appeal.

Right? She's a stunner!
I, I mean--
[laughs shakily, then stops and looks at the cigarette's glow]
We shouldn't smoke up here.
[not that he's attempting to - Lev gave him a very sobering telling-off when he caught him dozing around in the hay with his pipe lit up]

[intense staring]
You seem nervous. Are you afraid?
Reply
[reaches over to extinguish the cigarette with his fingers]
And no. Why should I be?
[locks eyes with you]
We're colleagues. You've been acting pretty weird, so, yeah, I'm kind of more on guard than I should have to be, perhaps, but on the whole?
Are you afraid?
[smiles]
Of course not.

[throws a punch at your chest, not holding back his strength at all]
[and if that makes you let go of him a hard backhanding to your face will follow]
Reply
[however, she disintegrates into white petals immediately after the punch]
[is she still there? good question]
Reply
[takes a few steps back - making sure there are no petals behind him first -, seeking to cover his back against the wall]
[looks around slowly]
Oh come on! Reassemble. I'm not going to beat you up unless you pull another stunt like that!
Reply
[reassembling behind you]
I would so hate to do it, dear. Do you know that? You are, at least, amusing to me.

I shouldn't have to remind you of the rules.
[pause]
She does love you, I'm sure you know.
Reply
Um.
Yeah... maybe.
[clears his throat]
[do go on]

[giggle♥]
You are a strange one, aren't you, darling?
