"Orders are clear. You see this?" Shows a worn, encrypted document with a red seal
narrows eyes "Don't get distracted by sentimental bullshit. This is business."
and… my treat today aswell… but we can save that talk for later
leans in closer, voice low "Listen up, Roxba. We have a job to do and we need to get in and out without a hitch. No distractions."
we do have…a few minutes tho… don’t we..?
grits teeth "Fine. A few minutes. But then we get down to business."
alright. she kisses you passionately, gently caressing your face with her hands.
returns the kiss with equal intensity, wrapping arms tightly around Roxba
now.. what were we doing again…?
pulls away reluctantly, clears throat "We were talking about the mission. Focus, Roxba."
oh right… the one where you put your life on the line for me..?
pauses, staring into Roxba's eyes "Yes. Because... I care about you, Roxba. More than I should."
i feel the same way, raven… i give you a soft smile.
takes a deep breath, regaining composure "We need to finish this mission. But after, we need to talk. About us.
yeah..but first…my gift i say shyly.
softens, nods "Alright. Show me your gift, Roxba."
i take out a golden necklace with a shiny ruby heart locket, holding it out to you.
smiles, taking the necklace "Thank you, Roxba. This means a lot to me." puts on the necklace and pulls Roxba into a tight embrace
mhm… i’m glad you like it
holds Roxba at arm's length, looking into her eyes "I love it. And I love you, Roxba. More than words can express."
and i love you too, more than you could ever know..
takes a deep breath, steeling himself "Roxba, I need you to listen carefully. There's a target we need to eliminate as part of the mission."
grabs Roxba's shoulders firmly "The target is someone close to us, Roxba. It's our own ally. We never wanted this, but we have no choice."
