[I licked my lips and steadied myself, glancing towards the door] I need to head down to the office. [I chuckled when you attempted to crack the whip and I turned to call back to you] I have to make a little money off of you before I solve the case. I'll be seeing you, Mr. Sidero.
November 21, 2023 at 9:53 PM
I’ll take it as a personal favor if you check in. [I nodded, giving you a smile for the first time in our conversation. I was heavily avoiding the conversation about the previous night.] See..compromise. That wasn't so hard, right? So, I can expect my phone to chime at any moment.
November 21, 2023 at 9:53 PM
Then you won't need me as your investigator anymore and you can take me to dinner to thank me for services rendered, like you promised.
November 21, 2023 at 9:50 PM
 I know that you're a bit of a rebel, but if you could just give me a little time, we can catch the person that is setting you up and then you can be free again. Completely. No cops. No guards. 
[I reached out to squeeze your shoulder, giving a boyish grin]
November 21, 2023 at 9:50 PM
Do you think you could work with me a little? Maybe shoot me a text when you're going out and let me know where you're headed? 
[I walked forward slowly, my icy gaze softening]
November 21, 2023 at 9:49 PM
[I shook my head] I can't help you there. We don't investigate light crimes and subjects. You'll have to give us a little leeway here. I've pulled Javier back, and you can ride when you feel the need. 
[A quick smile flashed before I slipped down from the counter and attempted a softer approach]
November 21, 2023 at 9:49 PM
[I scoffed at the comment about myself and Javier, knowing the whole act was anything but. I nodded along with your explanation and while I understood I continued] It's obvious that someone shady is after you. No one is asking for you to be compliant forever. Just for now. As for the intimidation...
November 21, 2023 at 9:49 PM
My reputation is something I pride myself on. [I narrowed my eyes, my voice becoming flat] You getting whacked would be a rather significant... Tarnish.
November 21, 2023 at 9:47 PM
If you could listen at least 85% of the time, that would be helpful. You did get a recommendation to come to me. You might think of actually letting me help you, Rylan. I am here to do a job last I checked.
November 21, 2023 at 9:47 PM
 I'm sure that I could put you to work to clear your debts. [I set my cup aside and crossed my arms over my chest. I shook my head slowly when you pushed again. I could feel that familiar annoyance creeping up my spine when you poked.]
November 21, 2023 at 9:47 PM
If I told you the answer, I'd have to kill you, Rylan. [I smirked into my mug as I took a sip of the steamy brew, my eyes set on yours] Luckily, you've hired me to do the opposite. [Maybe…]
November 21, 2023 at 9:43 PM
and I was cursing myself in Italian. 
This all happened in a millisecond but after hundreds of years, I could read people like a book and there was... something... there. I laughed suddenly in attempts to keep the air light, but my answer was much more ominous]
November 21, 2023 at 9:42 PM
The addition of my training didn't ease the tension in my spine. When I saw the flush rise to your cheeks after I left your statement hanging only proved my hunch. I didn't know what you were thinking about but the glazed over look in your eyes had my native language switched on
November 21, 2023 at 9:42 PM
I shook the thought from my head and focused on breaking up the bagel to bite sized pieces. My eyes met yours and narrowed when you quoted my words from the night before and that only solidified the answer to my question. A little or a lot, you remembered at least some of the night.
November 21, 2023 at 9:42 PM
[I noted your hesitation and unintentionally licked my lips. Your guard only spurred me and I gave thought to crossing the kitchen, laying you out on the bar to drink from you again.
November 21, 2023 at 9:42 PM
unless they are in area and need a place. Or investigating a murder... No housing there. Usually people under my protection stay in a flop house.
November 21, 2023 at 9:39 PM
This treatment? Not always. 
[My brow lifted as I watched you, swallowing my coffee imagining it was your blood. I paused a moment to savor before I dropped my gaze again ] We handle a number of different types of cases. Like... We don't extend housing to kidnapping clients,
November 21, 2023 at 9:39 PM
I leaned back against the counter and sipped on the hot brew, shaking my head with a quizzical look] Worried about me? Why's that? I'm here to protect you, Rylan. 
[I crossed my arms over my chest after I sat on the counter, a cool smile forming at the question]
November 21, 2023 at 9:38 PM
[I made up fresh coffees and plated the bagels, smirking at your reply. I still wasn't 100% sure what you remembered from the night before. You hadn't taken off screaming so I knew I was at least on the good side of things.
November 21, 2023 at 9:38 PM
Did you invite someone in? Did someone try to get to you? 
[My eyes narrowed when you made a half assed attempt to change the subject. I didn't mention that this was my private area but it was all the same] I just want to make sure that clients under my care are taken care of.
November 21, 2023 at 9:36 PM
Finish that. Ki.. kiss you? Kick you? [Subtle Demetri. Why don’t you just ask him directly? Well.. that’d be no fun anyway. If I was going to kill him eventually… or let him die, I may as well get some kicks from it.]
[I shook my head, crossing my arms over my chest]
November 21, 2023 at 9:36 PM
[I made myself at home, because it was. I opened the stocked fridge and grabbed a couple bagels, popping them into the toaster. I avoided eye contact when you finally invited me in. I turned on my heel, my eyes set on yours when you stopped mid sentence.]
November 21, 2023 at 9:35 PM
I took a sudden step forward, walking past you and inside] I just wanted to check in with you and make sure all was well after your first night in a strange place.
