canon is man from u.n.c.l.e.

[smolchop]

I like the idea.

I don't like the name.

[ Gaby Teller does not share my amusement. ]

Comments

[solothief]

Then what name would you prefer?

[smolchop]

I am not picky, and I am not sensitive about my stature.

... But I do not like that she is taking so much joy out of it.

[solothief]

You surprise me yet again. I would never have guessed you to be that easy to tease.

[smolchop]

Or perhaps it is because she has so much sway over me, that I find it particularly offensive.

[ Are you saying she has no right to be upset by the lack of control in her situation? Not that she's had much of it the past while, anyway. ]

[solothief]

It is quite uncomfortable to know that the words you're speaking aren't entirely your own, that's true.

[More like he finds her complaining to be quite adorable, and he's in the mood to tease someone.]

[smolchop]

[ Maybe one day she'd remorse about being the favoured choice of his teasing. Probably. Maybe it was because there was something tolerable under the cocky American accent. ]

And how do you manage it? A drink?

[ She sounds almost optimistic at the idea, if nothing else. ]

[solothief]

A drink, a pretty face and good company.

[There's just the barest of smirks there. Calm, cool and comfortable all underlining it.]

How are you planing on managing, Miss Teller.

[smolchop]

[ There's a thought that crosses her mind when she looks at that cool demeanor. But it passes before she decides to speak. ]

Mm. I'm not sure. I already drink, so maybe I'll add an extra glass for emphasis.

[solothief]

Or perhaps an extra bottle to become truly inebriated?

[smolchop]

Perhaps.

But like you said, much better with company.

[solothief]

Of course, pleasant company makes for a far better drinking experience.

[smolchop]

Then will you join me? Napoleon?

[solothief]

I couldn't imagine anything that would give me more pleasure, Gabby.
