<br/><br/>That BS radar as she so eloquently put it, really had to be the high quality stuff, as in most likely magically enhanced. Interesting to know. But he could work with that. So he leaned in just a little closer, perfectly acting out genuine interest and sincerity. He was a well-versed actor, and had been for a long time. Demons of his starting occupation usually were, trying to seduce mortals into offers they simply couldn't refuse. Nor back out of once they accepted.<br/><br/><strong>"I have to say, my radar is on par with yours, from what you tell me. All right then. I will be frank and honest from now on. Put myself on the table, in your slender hands, so to speak. I asked you in a roundabout way, because I didn't want to come on too strongly, backing you into a possible corner or making you uncomfortable because of our business arrangement.  I am, however, greatly interested in you. It is not every day I try to impress a woman by dressing like this and showing her my most attractive side. I might be a bit blase about it, but I know myself, and I know what I have to offer. I am not shy about using those things whoever you believe in gifted me with."</strong><br/><br/>He had to suppress a smile at the irony of his statement, but didn't show it. Instead, he continued.<br/><br/><strong>"You are a very good looking woman, with a drive for her work and some unidentifiable intensity about her, as if you have... I can't put my finger on it", </strong>he seemed to look into the distance, as if he was actually trying to put his finger on it, but Sha'Kos, no Alex now, knew what caused her to be this intense and focussed,<strong>"And I find that highly attractive. So, I consider this a date, and there will be more in the future, if it depends on me. I won't let it influence our business eal. I will even back out if you want me to, out of comfort or out of whatever other reason. So, I put my cards on the table, the rest is up to you."</strong><br/><br/>With that, he sat back, and took a sip of his Ice-Tea, wondering how she would react. He knew the witch was a no nonsense person. She fought for her innocent charges like a rabid wolf protected its path. He knew this girl had had the audacity to kidnap his first Lieutenant. Up till now, he simply hadn't known how far this 'intensity' stretched out into her regular life. Now he did. And he liked that. It would be a challenge... He was up for it.
