*A hint of a smile showed on Leia's lips. She looked at one of the covers, slightly amused by the cheesey graphics and florid prose.*
"I wouldn't have thought...but I suppose advisors have private lives."

*Genghis shrugged.*
"She is like...no other person I have even known. Very unusual. But strong-willed. You would like her."

"Perhaps I would."
A lover?
"I thought that you said men were better in war."

*Genghis let a small smile slip.*
"As a rule, they are. But there are always exceptions. She taught me that."
*He picked up his wine.*
"But I never saw her on the field of battle. We merely discussed strategy."

*She raised her eyebrow*
"And she approved of what you and your men do?"

*Genghis turned back to the table and away from Leia. His voice sounded indifferent, but there was the hint to something beneath it.*
"Perhaps she took the position to improve things that she did not care for. I have many different perspectives for having known her."

"I see."
*Leia picked another book off the shelf and began to flip through it. The Empire's ship certainly hadn't had a library. Or if they did, they hadn't allowed her acess to it.*
"I admire your selection."

*Genghis looked back to her, eyebrow arched and a small smile threatening.*
"So perhaps...your stay may not be so unpleasant?"

*Leia turned back to him with a sardonic smile*
"Provided Han and Luke get the money to you in time."
I'm not that naive.

*Genghis's smile grew and he let out a small snort.*
"In time? In time for what? I did not demand a schedule."
*He took a step closer.*
"Or are you worried that they will abandon you here...with me?"

*Leia recalled his words to her companions*
"Before, as you said, you get bored."

*Genghis laughed.*
"Ah yes...well...boys will be boys..."
*He sipped his wine.*
"It is important to keep up appearances."
*He stepped even closer, so they were almost touching as he looked down on her with a smile.*
"Why? Were you looking for some other form of entertainment during your stay?"

"No, I was just feeling guilty about my stay going perfectly fine while they're beating themselves up about it- oh wait, that's my typist, not me."
"If that's a proposition, I'm afraid I'll have turn it down."
*Leia met his gaze without backing down."

Eh, they're boys. Let them think the worst, knock 'em down a few pegs. If you want, I can still beat and sex you up later, but it'll probably have to be consensual or provoked.
*Genghis laughed once more.*
"Well...then I'm afraid I might have to shackle you for a while."
*He touched his chest in thought.*
"If you will not provide for my needs, I might have to seek companionship elsewhere with the superhot Mistress of Hell. I'm sure you understand."

Wow, Emily really HAS softened you!
*Leia said nothing to this. Being chained was humiliating, but she had been expecting no less.*
