The First's ass is planted among papers he needs, the soft crinkle of files documenting expensive work grates his teeth. Payroll will be late if he can't get these in tonight. Hand reaches out, twirls gloved fingers around a vulnerable lock of long silver hair and TUGS. Immediately fascinated by the way the strands catch light and shine he is transfixed. Staring long and hard until the man's head turns and pulls his hand, so entwined, ever so slightly with it. He clears his throat and disengages. "If you'd be so kind as to find a seat, I'll have the details ready for you in a moment."
Unaccustomed as he is to the accosting, little else claims surprise but the Director's blatant play at familiarity. It serves a purpose if only to draw his attention from manila folder to the offending hand in question. A veiled threat echoes the ire of the room's main occupant and, with catlike grin the General rises to free the desk of his immense presence.
"My apologies, Director." Coy begets falsities, two can play at that. Yet as he rises, the brush of alloyed locks scatters papers and leaves behind the faintest hint of rose. He chooses a more appropriate seating on the couch to Tseng's left.
