Well, I'm certainly flattered that you've chosen me, but I don't think it's going to work between you and I. The thoughts you have in your head about Bond and myself are completely wrong. Our relationship is strictly professional. [She smiles.]

So stop all this nonsense and let me get back to my job.

[doubleoohbaby]

I'm always professional.

[closeshave]

Of course you are. I've seen the proof with my own eyes. [Eve laughs.]

[thatsvexing]

Strictly professional...

You know, I have a feeling I may be using that phrase myself to describe Bond and myself.

[closeshave]

How so? You're mundane isn't thinking what I think she's thinking...is she?

[doubleoohbaby]

You could use those eyes to see so much more.

[thatsvexing]

For one, he is one of the rare males that take on this "mundane" title. And, two? No. Not at the moment.

I do fear for the other incarnations of myself who are less fortunate, however.

[closeshave]

[Cheeky bastard.] Don't give my mundane more ideas, James. She has enough about us already.

[doubleoohbaby]

Hn, all perfectly above board, I hope.

[closeshave]

Ah, I see. I owe your mundane an apology. Terrible of me to assume he was female.

[A pause.] My mundane does believe you two are rather cute together. You and Bond, I mean.

[closeshave]

Hardly. If only you could see her head space at the moment.

[thatsvexing]

It is a common misconception. He doesn't mind it happening, but will always point it out when it does happen.

[And a sigh] Your mundane and the rest of the internet, it seems. I suppose it won't help to say that I'm married to my work?

[closeshave]

You could try, but I doubt it'll have any effect. Mundanes don't want to listen to us it seems. They have their own ideas about our lives. I've been trying to convince mine that nothing is going on between Bond and I. It's not exactly working...

[thatsvexing]

I would say you have a rather explosive relationship with 007, but that would only expedite the issue.

[closeshave]

Q darling, I like you a lot. Don't spoil our relationship by giving my mundane new ideas. [A grin.]

[thatsvexing]

As long as you do the same and drop the whole... [A grimace] cute thing. Safe to say that 007 is not my type.

[doubleoohbaby]

I'd best avert my innocent eyes.

[closeshave]

Yes, we wouldn't want that perfect reputation of yours ruined. Your career would be over.

I suppose your mundane is having thoughts about 'us' as well.

[closeshave]

Fair enough. Though it is my mundane who thinks it's 'cute', not I. It's obvious you're attached to your work. Just like M. Very admirable.

I would keep a close eye on your mundane. He might just find your type one day.

[thatsvexing]

I would dare say that I don't have a type.

[closeshave]

Nothing wrong with that. The only thing that matters is your happiness.

[thatsvexing]

Quite so. I'm glad to hear someone talking sense.

[closeshave]

I do my best. I'll continue to do so despite my mundane's irrational thinking.

[doubleoohbaby]

Mm, one or two, but one doesn't kiss and tell.

[thatsvexing]

For a group with a dreary title, they do seem to cause a lot of trouble.

[closeshave]

Oh? Not even with a little persuasion?
