when it was a person's first time, that always made things a little hard. adrien had popped plenty a cherry before, but in court things seemed to weigh heavier than when it came to sex. "you better be good, or we're going to end up being here all night." he jotted something down in his journal and then closed the book down. then, he slid it over to the side of the table so that he could focus is attention on hari. "no one's that good to get something pass me. i hate to break it to you, but he's probably as clueless as he's leading on." which meant this was going to be an easy win for him. he placed the pen in between the two of them and then crossed his hands over the table. "legally, i'm not supposed to let you sign something if you don't agree to it." although technically, tyler wanted him to take care of this whichever way was the easiest.

"just like that?" he expected more of a delay, but he wasn't going to question it too much. he handed her his pen and his eyes darted down to her hand, waiting for her to sign. "i don't have a stick up my, you know. like i said, i'm just here to get this signed and then i'll be on my way."
