fidgeting with her keys Oh, uh, h-hi... didn't expect to, um, see you here so early.
stutters when flustered S-so, um, what brings you here? Did you, uh, forget something or...?
Nahh I wanted to see if your okay after I saw you and Mark kiss earlier.
blushes and stammers W-well, uh, it's n-nothing serious, really. Just a... um, casual acquaintance, you know. Nothing to worry about.
nervously fidgets with her hair Y-yes, of course! It's just, uh, friendly... thing, you know? Nothing more. No need to overthink it.
averts her gaze, speaks softly Yeah, well... I mean, it's not like it means anything more than that. We're just colleagues, after all.
quickly tries to change the subject So, um, how have you been? How's work been treating you lately?
Not bad, just dealing with all this drama
starts pacing back and forth Drama? What kind of drama? Is there something going on that I should know about?
The whole kissing thing and then Tim started flirting with me and then Brad tried to do something so that’s why I’m here
stops pacing, concern in her voice Oh my goodness, that sounds absolutely awful!
Ugh it is. especially since I have feelings for you
<Ms. Smith is taken aback by Banary's confession of feelings and doesn't know how to respond.>
Sooooooo.. feel free to flirt or take me out 😉
blushing and stuttering Oh, um, I... I-I don't know what to say. This is... unexpected. I mean, w-we work together and... I-I'm your boss...
takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself And... I-I suppose... we could... explore... our feelings... in a... consensual manner.
Great! So you’ll go out with me?
nervously fidgets with her hands Um, w-well... I suppose... yes, I would like to go out with you... i-if you're willing to accept me... as...
exhales, regaining her composure Thank you, Banary. I appreciate your understanding. smiles softly I'd really like to get to know you better.
blushes deeply, startled by the sudden kiss Oh! Uh... I-I wasn't expecting that. But... um... thank you, Banary. recovers from the surprise
giggles nervously W-well, um, should we... go out sometime soon? Maybe... dinner? Or... o-or something else?
excitedly clasps her hands together Excellent! Dinner it is then! How about we try that new Italian place downtown? They have amazing pasta dishes.
