“Eve! My wonderful, darling angel,” His flattery came without warning as he arrived through the door, a bouquet of flowers in one hand and the other gesturing wildly. 

“Have I told you today how pretty you look?” The flowers were offered before he flopped across the sofa, legs hanging loosely over the edge as he made himself comfortable.

                                                                       This kind of interruption was what she                                                                                                                signed up for as his friend. 

Oh, oh dear. He’s smiling. It’s never really a good sign when M’s got a reason to smile, especially given the fact that manifestations of that happiness tended to be directed at people. This time, Eve’s the unfortunate recipient of that god awful smile, “Don’t say what, Moneypenny?” The twinkle in his eye betrays a mischief so often overrun by stress and sternness, and it’s clear that he’s basking in it while it lasts.

A DUBIOUS BROW ARCHES. He may be old, but the man is far from death. Even if his knees scream in protest sometimes, his mind is still witty and clever. Benoit knows what he heard.

“Ma’am, I am fairly certain I heard you talking to your employer about leading me off the case. And if I were a bettin’ man, I’d say your employer is the British Government. MI6 to be more precises.” His expression screams challenge him.
