"Then you see? Perfectly harmless-"

There was still laughter in her voice, but it didn't fully take the flirtation out of what she said.
"But how would you, you know, if I did? I'd imagine you would start with something like, 'I enjoy your company...'"

"But without your consent, such overtures are meaningless..."

"Would you like it?"

Adrian was silent for a moment, leaning his head back.
"...I would accept it."

She laughed, suddenly awkward and shy. She wasn't sure how much of this was joking and how much of it was serious anymore.
"...not really related to this, but... Loki's asked if I want to have an open relationship."

"...he has. I see."
Adrian's voice remained carefully flat.

"...it wasn't wonderfully delivered. He projected into my workplace, which was thankfully empty, and told me that a few of his brothers' friends from Asgard were here, and he and one of them, well... things had progressed, but you know, he didn't want to do anything without my permission... I didn't really have a lot of veto power. I mean I could have said no, but what would be the point?"

"...do you have anyone in mind...?"

She was back to laughing again.
"God, this is so bizarre - I have a minor suspicion that Johannes had some intention toward me, but then again I don't know... He has a son, Herbert, who used to be one of Megan's roommates, if the world isn't small enough already. Herbert is... fanciful," she said delicately. "He wasn't well in life and he's not gotten better in unlife. He pressured me into attending the Met Gala so that his father would go, and let him come along, because otherwise his father doesn't like him to be out. He seemed to think at the time that his father would come along because he has feelings about me. Of course, yesterday night when I brought it up Johannes thought it was one of his son's fancies, but... I mean, it could be scheming or innocent ignorance on Herbert's part, but you know, I sort of think it might have been true. In either case, I... I don't think I'm attracted to him, and even if I were I can't say I'm at all attracted to what he is. Maybe my concern for my own safety has been a bit lax in the past, but not to that degree."

"I would probably need to know more about the situation," said Adrian. "In any case, though, a vampire feudal lord... I wouldn't recommend it."

"What do you recommend, Mr. Veidt?" she teased. "A masked adventurer? A business tycoon? A reformed mobster? I can't imagine what your perspective must be in these matters."

He laughed.
"Well-"

"Hm?"

"Even a younger, less established vampire-"
