I do so enjoy having my interest piqued first thing in the morning.

[valdrin]

A sentiment I believe we both share.

[socialgraces]

I'm glad. [ there's a warm sincerity to her tone now, as she drops the flirtatious overtone of the last few minutes for something more intimate ] I miss you terribly, you know.

[cabot]

[ his tone warms as well ] Oh? Well, what say I didn't, so that I can hear you mention it again.

[socialgraces]

It's dreadful. I can think of little else. [ although she doesn't seem very perturbed by the idea ] It doesn't bode well for my work performance.

[cabot]

Mine either. Maybe Wynn will suspend us both for being derelict of duty. One can only hope.

[socialgraces]

Unfortunately, we both know how indispensable your cleverness and expertise are, in general, and most especially to him.

[cabot]

Flattery will get you everywhere. [ with hesitant resignation ] And speaking of my indispensable expertise, I imagine you'd like me to get on with researching that glass of yours.

[socialgraces]

I suppose time may be of the essence, and I would be most appreciative. [ apparently she's not completely over the earlier flirtations, but her voice is quiet and gentle as she adds: ] Thank you, sweetheart.

[cabot]

I should be the one thanking you, perhaps. And we'll speak again soon, darling.
