And women can't?

Did I say that?

It's usually implied in sentences like that.

Ain't my fault you're readin' inta what I say.

Pissy much?

Not really.

No, that sentence was definitely pissy.

I'm sorry ya feel a women speakin' her mind is 'pissy'.

Not what I meant.

If'n ya say so.

I'm sure we don't do it on purpose.

Coulda fooled me.

Or maybe we do and the ruse worked.

Ya ain't as cute as ya think ya are.

Yes, I am.

Do girls actually fall for this?

Frequently.

I wonder about the women ya're datin', Mr. Worthington.

Man's got a reputation to uphold, Miss Guthrie.

Mhm.

Ya should really talk ta the press an' make sure they get shots of ya're good side.

I think I'll continue hiding in my office until it's time to meet up with a friend later on.

That does seem like a safer option. Can't ya just fly away?

I will, but I had to wait for cover of night. The last thing anyone needs is a shot of me on tonight's news.

Ain't right. Ya should be able ta spread those wings an' fly without worry.

I should, but life doesn't work that way for us, does it. Someday, though, in the near future, I might just take to the air and not care what the press or my peers think.

I hope that day ain't too far off.

Me too, Miss Guthrie. Me too.

Hey there. May I get on your nerves for a while?

If'n I say no?

You might. It's a yes or no question. I'm not sure what makes you tick though. I would love to find out.

Whaddaya have in mind?

I like to make it up as I go along. Don't you?

There is definite merit ta doin' it that way.

That's good. I hope you don't rile easily. Do you know of any good places to really get under your skin?

I think my tellin' ya that makes it all a little too easy.

Don't worry, I got my ways. Like you said, men can be annoying. I'm sure I can get on your nerves given half the chance.

I'm sure ya can as well.

Shall I irritate the hell out of you now, or do I have to buy you a drink first?

Alas, only twenty. Drinks ain't really an option.

*shrugs* Oh well. Guess I'll have to just aggravate you here. Especially since you're really annoying me.

If'n ya're hangin' around for an apology it ain't gonna happen.

No, I got other reasons for hangin' around.

*grinning, he raises his finger an inch away from her face and slowly moves it around her nose and cheeks* Does this bug you? Huh? I'm not touching you. *chuckling he just barely brings it down above her upper lip* Now I am. Doesn't that bug you?

*she raises an eyebrow* If'n anythin' ya're remindin' me of my brothers.

*chuckles* I've had siblings, I know what works.

*he moves his fingers over and begins to rest his hand against her cheek* Doesn't it annoy you when some guy you don't know starts teasing you and talking like he wants you to come back to his place just so he can piss you off further?

*she laughs* It amuses me that ya think ya're gonna get anywhere.

*shrugs* I'm goin' for downright annoyance here. If you don't tick that easily, I'm just gonna have to try harder.

Cute.
