❝ What  ⸺  no. ❞

Oh, she does know he has no problem with either option, and that makes her react by grabbing onto her desk with both hands in case he tries to pick her up from her seat; he’s going to have to fight her for it, she doesn’t care how ridiculous this makes the both of them.

❝ I’m not tired. ❞    This is an obvious lie, so Wren pauses.    ❝ OK, I’m tired, but I’m in the middle of something! You can give me fifteen minutes to finish this report, or you can bet your ass I will fight you for fifteen minutes, which means I’m not resting anyway, but neither am I getting my job done. ❞    She goes for a glare up at Nihlus, but it comes off incredibly defensive.    ❝ I’ll sleep when I’m ready to sleep, ❞    she says.    ❝ So if you don’t want to risk me kicking you out of my quarters altogether... ❞    An empty threat for good measure. She’s not going to follow up on it, and she’s sure he knows this, but gods, he can be stubborn, and she needs some ammo.
