what is even the point of a dom/sub relationship? she has to deal with enough hierarchical bullshit at the office, no need to drag it into the bedroom. hard pass.
@Superior_Wesker -c- yes, there is enough adrenaline in the profession to bed a tentative, conditional ally. but trust? she's a rookie, not an idiot.
and try asking her to dinner first, as a formality. unless it's a life-or-death situation, elena's not that easy a lay.
@Superior_Wesker why shouldn't she doubt his word? a better question would be, why would she even trust him?
they are in the same racket, after all. military training, now employed by private companies up to the kind of science that flips the middle finger at god. -c-
@Superior_Wesker well damn.
elena's astonished he just admitted it, rather than try to redirect the accusation.
vulgar, but direct. at least the latter is something she can respect.
but how trustworthy is his word, really?
@ShinRaAfterDark oh, you wish! since i already fell for the trap of having this discussion with you, i'm trying to keep it as buttoned-up as possible. perhaps the formal language will ease my mind, be a balm for the unprofessionalism.
@ShinRaAfterDark i said my piece, i just wasn't vulgar about it! usually you're better about reading between the lines, when your blood hasn't rushed to your other head.
@aersecrets mostly for your sake! but also because i hate when people use words that don't mean what they think they mean.
because there is no way anyone would call you "homely" unless they were under the assumption that it meant "charmingly down-to-earth."
@aersecrets do you want me to cut out any tongues? just say the word, i'll make sure anyone who doesn't know what that word means can never, ever use it incorrectly again!
@HeianIronMaiden 💖: the character assassination from sqex has gotten so bad that i'm almost past the point of being angry and ready to give up on ff7 altogether...
absurd that they've shat on a compelling narrative and complex characters that badly!
