┃┃ └ * ᵐ̳ . in chara : ᵎ ᵎ @valheys / m , sit , gesture for my muse to sit down .
ms. ponsonby and james had a friendly professional courtship . one would think that is was completely one sided ( the side of bond of course , what with all the questions and comments ... ANYTHING TO FILL THE VOID OF SILENCE . ) truthfully ? people just didn't see the occasional smile that james brought to the older woman's lips . ah , he knew it would be a good day when his boyish charm worked on her . when she was short and to the point , well ... he knew he was in for a long conversation . this time was one of those moments where bond new exactly how the conversation with m was going to go ( could be better , but instead of a job well done he has a sinking suspicion that he'll be receiving a lecture on how to cooperate with other operatives in the field . NOT EXACTLY SHOWING SPORTSMANSHIP , ARE YOU BOND ?
when it was his chance to head into m's office , he straightens himself and nodding to ponsonby before opening the door . noting m was still on the phone with someone , closes the door gently and stands before her . hands clasped in front of him , he waits patiently until she acknowledges his presence . james moves towards an empty chair when she tell's him to take a seat , settling back into the cushion . " hope that phone call didn't have to do with me , " he remarks just after m hangs up . " suppose it's too late for an apology ... "
