The books hit the desk with a thud loud enough to make Rose flinch in an overacted play of mock surprise. He turned his head in her direction, concealing a smile as their eyes met and arms folded across her chest.
“Ah, but persistence is necessary, when it might lead to keeping such exquisite company as yours”
She was fun to tease. Rose even took a covert pleasure in it, unable to help admiring her reactions to the light teasing he’d put a stop if she asked - not that she had so far. He was like a child; a cocky schoolboy pulling pigtails to get the girl’s attention and had been since the one night out they’d had together.
She’d been good company that night, far better company in fact, than he’d expected her to be and on that basis, Rose had begun to make a point of seeking her out, slowly but surely cultivating a friendship. The idea of repeating the experience had crossed his mind, to the point of considering venues and activities. However, she’d never expressed a desire to see him again and Rose decided not to push thinking it much better to have her company because she wanted to be there, rather than because he’d forced her into it. He was, after all, a gentleman.
So for now, he played; seeking out her reactions, any chance to garner and hold her attention. It seemed today he’d had a little more success than usual.
“And you didn’t answer my question,” he retorted, eyes bright, voice a little sing song “Now tell me, how would Miss Soi-fon prefer me to compliment her?”
Throughout a majority of the year, Soifon was a woman completely dedicated to her work. With this, many other’s wouldn’t even bother to attempt idle conversation. There was [ ᴏɴ ᴀ ʀᴀʀᴇ ᴏᴄᴄᴀsɪᴏɴ ] a time in which even the emotionless 𝙲𝚊𝚙𝚝𝚊𝚒𝚗 𝚘𝚏 𝚂𝚚𝚞𝚊𝚍 𝚃𝚠𝚘 wanted to have a little fun. Appeared to her that Rose may have figured this out, and he kept his teasing at that perfect level. The work before her would still get done, but with an addition of a smile on her face. Somehow, he just knew how to make that happen every time. [ ɴᴏᴛ ᴛʜᴀᴛ sʜᴇ ᴍɪɴᴅᴇᴅ ᴀɴʏ ] Still, she’s a complicated woman – doesn’t mean she can’t let loose from time to time. [ ᴀɢᴀɪɴ﹐ ᴛʜɪs ɪs ʀᴀʀᴇ ʙᴜᴛ ғᴏʀ ʜɪᴍ﹐ sʜᴇ’ᴅ ᴍᴀᴋᴇ ᴀɴ ᴇxᴄᴇᴘᴛɪᴏɴ ]
Soifon eyed him, considering his words. The way he spoke in such a proper manner intrigued her. That being just one of the qualities she liked about him. Now, just because she didn’t seek him out didn’t mean she had disliked the date. In fact, the woman wouldn’t mind attending another, but we come to the same halt. Her work – that did come first. 𝙰 𝚋𝚞𝚜𝚢 𝚠𝚘𝚖𝚊𝚗, but if Soifon found that someone was actually willing to work with her dedication to the ѕocιeтy, then she’s open to dating.
⚜ ┊ ‘ I suppose that women enjoy compliments on their hair, smile or other meaningless features, but I’ve never been someone to care about my looks. ’
Turning her gaze, Soifon returned some files to a shelving unit – plus a book or two. [ ᴛɪᴅʏɪɴɢ ᴜᴘ ] But this comment alone was likely enough to lead Rose in the right direction, or she hoped. This was the truth though. She wasn’t the type to worry so much about how her hair looked or clothing. Nothing like that was important. What Soifon did cherish and hold dear were her 𝚜𝚔𝚒𝚕𝚕𝚜.
