Miniver has a Marlowe staring at him. A Marlowe dressed in black, with his arms crossed and a dagger on his belt, and a Marlowe whose left eye is bright and cold and hard.

A faint smile and, given that Shakespeare has said that he has a heart as old and cold as the Thames, it doesn't mean anything.

"You'd probably be a fun fuck, Miniver..." And then he puts his hand on the table, and leans closer. "You are also, shall we say, a loose canon? Shove you against a wall and make you plead, but as I walk away you'll think that's you."

"I can learn not to care. And you haven't answered my first question." Which, really, is the one that matters. He knows Kit's beyond his reach, which is the only reason he's bold enough to suggest ianything to him.

"Would it make any difference?"

....huh. Well. He can't actually think of any. But.

"I dunno. Would it?"

He straighens up, and rests his hand on the hilt of his dagger.

"You tell me."

He eyes Marlowe's hand on the dagger.

And gets the feeling he should shut up.

Marlowe shrugs, slightly.

"Sure, I do. But I won't have you."

There's a flash in his eyes. Just for a second. Something other than mousey, cowering Miniver. Something a little harder.

"I know."

"So, does it actually matter?"

"No." He sighs and rubs his arm and looks away from him.

Well, now that that's settled, Marlowe relaxes a fraction and pinches the bridge of his nose.

"I think," he says at least, "you are going to give me a headache."

"I'm sorry," he answers automatically -- then, after a pause, stubbornly, "No I'm not. Why am I going to give you a headache?"

"You are...impossible."

Miniver raises a brow at him.

"At least I'm cute."

"One way of putting, but I believe I shall stick with 'loose cannon'. It covers everything."
