Not at all, Mr Stark. [ Yes, she is. Sometimes. ]

[fe_male]

Is that 'No, I'm not a tease', or 'Don't mention it; I enjoy it so it's free of charge and no taxpayers are suffering'?

[theagent]

I'm not, and no taxpayers suffered.

[fe_male]

Taxpayers always suffer. And incidentally non-taxpayers tend to as well, but it takes longer and then it's all at once.

[theagent]

Not usually because of me.

[fe_male]

It's okay; I'm here if you need someone to talk to about the guilt.

[theagent]

Yes, Stark, please let me unload my non-existent personal problems on you.

[fe_male]

Really? That sounds incredibly easy, then. Do I get points for being available outside of regular consulting hours?

[theagent]

Since it's not actually happening, I don't think so.

[fe_male]

You are seriously the least... fun, person. I mean, you're not, but you totally are. I don't get it.

[theagent]

I'll take that as a compliment.

[fe_male]

I guess it could be one. It certainly makes you very special at any rate.

[theagent]

Now you just flatter me. [ Deadpan again. ]

[fe_male]

It's only because I respect and adore you so much, sugar bear.

[theagent]

Please don't ever call me that again.

[fe_male]

You're right, I think I've used that one. You need something more original.

[theagent]

Spare me, Stark.

[fe_male]

Aww, come on. It might be good, you don't know.

[ I mean... it won't be, but it could be, and that's the point. ]

[theagent]

I doubt that, Mr Stark.

[fe_male]

Give me some time, I'll think of a great one for you. Everybody'll know it and you'll be famous. In the sort that's safe for super secret agents to be.

[theagent]

You'll take it as a challenge if I protest, won't you?

[fe_male]

If you protest, and as encouragement if you don't.

[theagent]

Doomed if I do and if I don't. Well played, Mr Stark.

[fe_male]

Thank you. [ Actually, coming from her, that's... sort of more a compliment than it really ought to be, even if it's coming from a place of annoyance. ] Although, 'doomed' feels a little strong. Do I doom people?

[theagent]

Figuratively speaking.
