Have you ever been somewhere like that?

[There's a thin, but sharp edge in that question. Because if you waste time and don't get things taken care of with someone else there, it can hurt a lot. That much Sakura learned the hard way.]

[ And throwing that thinly edged question right back in her face, as he is oft to do. ]

Have you?

Edited (EDITBROS) 2012-10-24 02:46 (UTC)

Yes.

[ Enough said, then. ]

I am versed in sexual affairs. I know what I'm up against, but that hardly makes her decision palpable to me, given her questionable judgment in the past.

Having sex voluntarily isn't the same as being forced to do it by a tattoo or a chip.

[Okay, just.

Takes an even breath.

And moves on.]

I take it this isn't the first poor idea she's had?

Not even close.

You're pretty calm about this.

I hear that rather often, as it turns out. [ Chuckling. ] All part of being a noble, I suppose, managing your emotions well.

Do they teach you that kind of thing, or is that something you inherit?

[There's just a little bit sarcastic.]

Why do you ask? Have I charmed you off your feet yet with my impeccable social etiquette, Sakura?

[ He's being sarcastic too, Sakura, don't worry. And he's smiling genuinely at you, because you're feisty, but feisty is exactly what he likes in a woman. Except if your name is Ed, then you're just annoying.

Yes, I just compared Ed to a woman. Deal with it, Hales. ]

It takes a little more than good manners and blue blood to win me over. [~~The surname "Uchiha" and bad hair are also required. Except Sasuke's manners suck.~~

She says it in good humor, though, mostly because she's pretty sure he's not being serious.]

Call it curiosity.

[ He's not, but he'll laugh all the same. ]

I was raised from birth to be the future successor of my family's empire. It is vital to the preservation of my station and the upstanding reputation of my Britannian name that I act with grace and dignity in all affairs, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant.

Not that meeting you, Sakura, was at all an insignificant event. Quite the contrary.

[ Charisma +5. ]

Are you flattering me, Schneizel? [Because that's what it sounds like.]

Perhaps a bit. [ A considerate pause. ] Is it bothersome?

It seems a bit disingenuous.

[But only bothersome in that it's hard to get a read on him.]

I'll stop, if you dislike it.

I dislike it if people don't mean the things they say. [So, take that how you will. It's not an accusation, necessarily; more like a caution.]

And if I said I meant every word?

What's significant about us meeting?

You don't think there's any significance at all to meeting someone new?

Maybe, but I think how significant depends on the person and the circumstances of their meeting.

Then, ask me anything, anything at all, and I will tell you. No matter how extreme the question, I will answer.

[ His eyes shimmer. ]

An interesting person is significant, aren't they? And I think you're interesting, Sakura. Perhaps I can convince you the same is true for me.

[... well. All right.]

I'd ask what you think is interesting about me, but that would sound self-serving. [Even if she does wonder, mostly because she's not certain what she did to leave an impression.]

Tell me about your family's empire, then.

[ A fair question, but... ]

That's a bit vague. What specifically would you like to know about it?

The size of it, how old it is, politics... I'm curious about what you're supposed to inherit.

[Though not for the reasons a person might expect a woman to be interested.]
