Ellie: "Keep still, yeah? Your fidgeting’s messin’ up my mojo."
Thunder_Rider
She smirks, leaning back against the doorframe "Alright, alright. You're such a pro at this."
Ellie: rolls her eyes Pro? Please, I'm just good at pretending to be professional when necessary. pauses But hey, speaking of necessary, wanna hear a secret?
Thunder_Rider
