Blooper

I made this months ago, when I thought that the sentry scene would occur a lot later. Robus was just "a dog" then, she wasn't yet a character. I still think I might use the 'horny_RO' (lol) as a way to determine if MC has expressed physical interest in the RO. Of course that wouldn't mean that they're ready to jump into bed with them, more like they appreciate the view. 

Anyway, here is a little blooper that got left out of the Marcus's sentry scene for things moving way too fast. Perhaps it would've happened if MC wasn't such a gremlin and Marcus didn't just recently, you know, kill their dad:

#I... don't know what to think of him.

        How could I ever forget what he did? I don't know what to do. 

        *if horny_marcus

            My eyes wander to his face, hoping he doesn't notice. His jawline is so sharp it's a distraction.

        *if not

            I peek at him. To see what? I don't know.

        "Admiring the view?" He asks with a teasing grin.

        *if brazen <50

            My cheeks warm up. It's a troublesome nervous habit which annoyingly pleases him.

        *if brazen >=50

            I glare at him. He likes to make others squirm, but I won't give in. He will have to do with that.

            His eyes squint in delight. He likes the competition.

        *if stoic >=60

            My expressionless features silence him. 

            "You're a hard one to please."

(here was something about meeting his dog?) Just as the words exit my mouth I almost slap my hand on it for its sheer idiocy. He'd just take that as an invitation to continue the conversation. I… don't want that. 

Right? 

He smiles as our gaze locks. His eyes are still black, the same predator leering at me as before. But this time the danger makes me feel almost… curious?

"That can be arranged." He says in a low voice, implying that the conversation has shifted away from the possible dog meeting scenarios to a whole other level.  

Shit.

*fake_choice

    #"I was talking about dogs!"

        "Me, too! Whatever gave you the idea we were not talking about them?" He feigns shocked, eyeing me as if I'm the one misinterpreting the conversation.

    #"Oh, and what did you have in mind?"

        "Soldier, if I didn't know any better, I'd think you're flirting with me."

        "Oh?"

        "That would be scandalous. Please refrain from doing that."

        "You started it—!"

        "I beg your pardon, I have no idea what you're talking about! I'm talking about my precious dog."

    #Blush.

        Why do I always blush. He just likes it. Maybe I should punch him while I'm at it.

            #Punch him.

                In a spur of a moment I try to punch his arm. However, he's faster than me, and he grasps the fist on his hand. His grip is surprisingly tender, even if I just tried to assault him. 

                "Tch tch tch. Assaulting your Centurion… I ought to have your head for that." He grins before letting me go.

            #Just keep blushing.

                "Are you feeling ill, soldier?" He smirks. "Your cheeks… You must have a fewer."

                "You know I don't."
