"Dan's a good friend," Veidt said, with a gentle laugh, "and a fine colleague."

"With a fine ass, yeah? I noticed and I noticed you notice," said Adrien mildly.

"I don't- Adrien, please."

"Don't notice? Mr. Veidt, please," replied the French kid in a long-suffering way. "I have seen you with the room full of the t.v.'s, I know you notice everything."

"It's not something I consider," he amended. "He's a colleague, nothing more."
He leaned on the edge of the desk, one leg crossed over the other.
"Is that all?"

"Well, if he is not taken, you think he might like me?" asked Adrien with a big smile.

Veidt paused, clearly giving the matter some thought.
"I don't know of his particular inclinations," he admitted, "but you're rather easy to like."

"I keep telling you this, but you haven't listened," Adrien teased him and laughed.

"Not reassuring," Adrien called after him, resisting the urge to follow him and lean on the doorway. Veidt had not been very receptive to that sort of thing previously. All that said, Adrien's English was getting very boring, and by the time Adrian emerged Adrien had closed the book and picked up a magazine with him shaking the hand of Manhattan on the cover.

Veidt was finishing pulling down the hem of his untucked shirt when he noticed the magazine Adrien was looking at, and made a dismissive noise.
"Here- if you're bored enough to look at that, maybe I can come up with some filing work for you to look after instead."

"There must be something more interesting to do around here than that," said Adrien, rolling his eyes affectionately.

"If you'd prefer the rest of the day off, I won't tell a soul," Veidt said, meeting Adrien's eyes through the mirror as he paused to check his hair, and then winking in a disarmingly avuncular fashion for good measure.

"Interesting. And I may spend it... here?"

Veidt gave him an odd, head-tilted look.
"You know, you don't need to report what you do with your spare time to me," he said. "It's not that sort of program."
