Rae: I think you are just looking to avoid any responsibility and I will not let that happen. Closest you've been to admittance.

Roman: Maybe I am. Maybe. Always Maybe.

Roman: Nope. It's all on you. I take no blame. A mix of a lot of stuff. It's a secret cocktail I'll take to my grave with me.

Rae: A relationship takes two. You have to have some blame for this. Such a selfish man, Suit.

Roman: I don't think that's how that works. You're just looking for someone to blame. Maybe.

Rae: I'm going to make it a little on you because you have the opportunity to clarify. What kind of pills are you taking to achieve that? Cause I want some.

Roman: Nope. It's all on you. I take no blame. A mix of a lot of stuff. It's a secret cocktail I'll take to my grave with me.

Cameron: Not really. Who would say you haven't been?

Roman: Then what's the point of telling you if you won't believe me? Well some people have known me longer than others.

“Not when you’re the reason that I need one. You know what they say, what you give comes back to you. That’s simply what is happening here,” she said casually with a glossed on smile. “And you don’t seem to have extra of that to give,” she hinted towards the times he had talked about how busy he was. “Exactly. I think that the idea of someone knowing you, body and soul, is a beautiful thought but like you said we change. The one we’d thought we’d be with changes or maybe even we do. There is always going to be a part of someone that is a stranger to you.”

“What makes you think I use you as a punching bag?” he questioned with a raise of his brow. “I’m just being me. You’re the one reading into it and taking it all so personally.” There was a slight tone of teasing in his voice, but at the mention of things changing, the one he’d be with changing, he shut down a little. The smile was gone. “Or maybe the problem is that sometimes we don’t change enough. I think you make humankind sound a little more mysterious than they actually are.”

Rae: There is being creative and being delusional and something tells me you're calling me the latter. Oh so you don't have time to think now?

Roman: Think what you want to think, if you think the wrong thing, it's not on me. Sounds about right. I completely go through life without thinking. That's me. Yup.

“What the hell? You trying to get rid of me now? The fuck is this?” Colin shook his head. “You’d definitely look like a baby… or just a creep,” he shrugged.

“Don’t worry, I’ll give you the shavings, since I’m pretty sure the beard is the only thing you like me for,” Roman shrugged easily with a small smile. “Fuck man, you really think my face is creepy? That explains a lot.”

“No, I’m saying you look mysterious,” she shrugged, her expression teasing as she saw the change in his. “Or guys just looking to get laid who have no idea what to do once they have a girl naked,” she shrugged. “Mhm, so what if I am?” She teased, head tipping to one side, biting back her grin. “I believe that, but I also think you probably refuse things that are popular.”

“That’s the same thing as dodgy, just without the outright negative connotation,” he countered. “Sounds like you’ve run into your fair share of those. Sounds like you’re going to the wrong bars,” he shrugged back, “Or maybe you like playing with the messes,” he ventured. “I think you think I care too much about what other people thing. I’m not trying to maintain any reputation here.”

Cameron: Sort of, yeah. You're hiding parts of you. Why? Life, happiness. Have you always been like this?

Roman: If I told you the answer was money would you believe me? Depends on who you ask.

Roman: I'm a private person. There's nothing wrong with that. Fantastic. Very weather-y.

Cameron: But what's there to hide in those types of questions? I'm not poking into your personal life. You, sir, are ridiculous.

Roman: Does there have to be something to hide for me to not want to go into it? What drives you? It's always an involved answer. Thank you.

“No? You don’t think I’m into the facial hair you got going on?” Colin turned his hand up and slapped lightly at Roman’s cheek with a laugh. “Jesus christ, someone’s paranoid,” he laughed and shrugged. “Eyes.”

“Damn, I guess I gotta shave it now,” he joked, hand going up to feel the beard in thought. “Then again, I might look like a baby if I did.” He shrugged, “Better safe than sorry, right?”

“On the right guy. It works a little for you. You’ve got the face for it,” Cam motioned up to his face, some amusement in her tone as she spoke. “More prospects, sure. I wouldn’t say better though,” she shrugged off her own. “Okay, so it’s things old people listen to. I’m not hating on it, you like what you like. But do you think that it’s unique for your age might add to the appeal?”

“I think you need to get your priorities sorted. Wait-what do you mean I have the face for it? Are you saying I look dodgy?” His brows furrowed in what was almost insult at her comment. “I guess that’s fair. You’ll just get sloppy messes in bars. Are you calling me old too now?” His look of disapproval deepened. I don’t like things for the sake of being unique, I like them because I like them.”

“Sure, if that’s what you work for, go ahead and be my guest,” Jarret shrugged. He was no stranger to drinking, but his life was well controlled; he never found himself that drunk.

Roman narrowed his eyes at the other, “I can feel your judgement. Don’t you have something better to do with your time?”

Cameron: So sorry that so many people want to get to know you on a deeper level, it must be so so hard. How's the weather looking for this week?

Roman: I'm a private person. There's nothing wrong with that. Fantastic. Very weather-y.

Cameron: So what does drive you? Or has driven you in the past?

Roman: Why do people always want to jump to the deep, soul searching type stuff? Can't anyone just talk about hobbies? Or the weather? What do you do for fun?

Cameron: Is being passionate about something not simple to you? I'm asking genuinely. You were giving off the vibes.

Roman: Passion is such a strong connotation. It's something that drives you. I wouldn't say music drives me. I didn't mean to. I'm just like that.

“Feels like you’re calling me your soul mate right now, I respect it,” Colin nodded and laughed a touch. “You either worry about everyone or no one,” he shrugged and glanced over with amusement in his eyes. “Maybe it’s got nothing to do with volume at all.”

“Somehow I don’t think you’d go for me if I was,” Roman chuckled, “But thank you for the respect. Oh well that’s an easy answer. I worry about everyone. You should too,” he answered easily. “What do you think it’s got to do with?”
