#51 - The Bitty Invasion Continues

[inthecenterfold]

Looks like I'm stuck not working until I can use . my weapon again. Guess we better hope things stay quiet - weird, but quiet.

And don't think _ I won't still kick your ass if you try anything.

- Smoke

[Okay that last bit was mostly for Black lol]

Hardly jealous, I assure you, Smoke.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

And yet you keep bothering me.

[hisbutler_bound]

That proves nothing.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Then what does it prove?

[hisbutler_bound]

That I will continue to test you and watch you until I am satisfied.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Which I''m guessing will be never.

[hisbutler_bound]

[Long pause. He wants to agree] I have an open mind.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Oh really?

[Yeah he doesn't believe you at all.]

[hisbutler_bound]

Yes really, Mister Smoke.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

I'll believe that when I stop feeling it.

[hisbutler_bound]

If all goes well, you won't wait long.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Because that doesn't sound threatening at all.

[hisbutler_bound]

Would it ease your assumptions if I told you I wasn't threatening you?

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

I'd wonder what else you could mean. Especially since this is you of all people.

[hisbutler_bound]

Ah, what else indeed? It certainly cannot be that I am giving you a chance.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Exactly, because that would be a nice thing to do and I can't imagine you doing that with me involved.

[hisbutler_bound]

Again, I have an open mind, Mister Smoke. Perhaps I should invite you to dinner in the future.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

I'll spare the obvious joke and just ask if Juliet put you up to this - or at least if you're planning to make sure she's there.

[hisbutler_bound]

[Black is going to pause for a moment, trying not to start laughing and lose his composure. It takes him a bit to get it.]

Oh my. If you wanted some alone time with me you just had to ask, but yes, I do plan to have Juliet there. That would be the point of inviting you to dinner within the household.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Trust me when I say alone time with you is nowhere on my priority list, but I wouldn't put interrogation past you.

[hisbutler_bound]

Interrogation? Oh, you cease to amuse me with such prattle.

Suddenly, that situation is so much funnier

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

What do you call that first conversation with me over zombie-hacking?

Ahahahah yes.

[hisbutler_bound]

A very unusual meeting. If I'm correct, which I am, you suspected me of much worse.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Man whatever.

Look, fine, dinner with Juliet and her roommates is fine. Just... not right now.

[hisbutler_bound]

But of course. I would like you to be able to at least see over the dinner table without some sort of boost of a book or two for you to sit on.
