@muses-inn sent: ❤ Bishop for SR?
Rick's eyes go wide at the question and it takes him a great amount of self-control not to start spluttering in response to it. He might have lost most of his dignity already, in several occasions, but he's very adamant on clinging to the little bit of it he has left.
This line of inquiry, however, is making it much more difficult that it normally would be. The guard isn't used to discussing his personal life. He's a private person, one who's very inclined to politely tell people to mind their own business. The only ones with who he talks about his private things are AR and E-Rick, and even with them he needs to some convincing.
In addition to that, Bishop feels like a subject that demands an extra layer of privacy, especially with the uncertainty that's still hanging between them. They have gone on dates, even if they never called them that. They have kissed a few times. Yet, he still has no idea of what they are to each other. Pining friends? Courting? Something else he can't think of?
Hell if he doesn't wish he knew the answer to that.
"I-I...He's..." He starts, tripping over his words as he tries and fails to make sense of the too many thoughts that are filling his head. "B-Bishop has a lot of...uh...admirable traits. T-There's a lot of things I like about him."
But that's not what he's being asked, is it? This is about something he finds attractive about the other. The mere idea of talking about the Utrom in those terms makes him flustered.
"I...This is going to sound, uh, stupid, b-but I find his...professionalism appealing. I-I guess it's the...serious and focused attitude, h-his determination, h-how he acts when he's a guy with a mission w-who won't stop at nothing until he has gotten the job done."
It's something he finds relatable too, but when it comes to the alien, the whole thing takes a much more alluring hue.
"S-So, uh, one more reason why I-I like working with him?"
Shoot him dead now. After that lame joke, he's going to seal his lips shut and never speak of this again.
