“– Very observant of you.”

“But I’d like to remind you that there is more to socializing than beating the living daylights out of one another so fervently that even the slightest of movements warrants submission.“MOIRA exhales slowly, rubbing her face with a hand.

               “Charisma is about manipulating others without them realizing what you’re doing until you’ve already accomplished what you need to– if he feared me, then how would I go about earning his trust? Subjugation and violence are not enough to deal with something as delicate and fragile as diplomacy… I am looking to find sponsors, not start a nuclear war…”

“If I have to allow men to verbally spit in my face just to get my foot in the door, so be it.“

“Ooooh” Scout mocked, raising both his hands and wobbling them, feigning a mixture of surprise and horror.

“Miss bedside manner over here wants to talk about charisma” Jeremy couldn’t help but scoff, brushing a hand dismissively away from her before resting against a nearby wall, arms crossed against his chest.

               " perhaps i’d like a little bit of both. ”

perhaps he enjoys the company of the one constant in his life, though he’d rather burn his tongue than to admit it clearly. she won’t get much more. he knows she’s used to it. it’s a good thing.
