Am I? Well, then, you know precisely what to do with a petulant man, don't you?

[It was a smirking dare, a tease that Chilton figured Starr would not pursue. He knew how crucial consent was to Herr Starr. Absolutely vital.]

[herrstory]

I will tie him up and gag him if he is not careful.

[ Starr both warned and threatened, crossing his arms over his chest and leveling his gaze on Chilton and his damn smug smirk. ]

[slightlyoffchilt]

Oh. Sounds like you might have explicit experience with that tactic.

[Which wasn't must of a taunt -- Starr probably did have explicit experience with that tactic.]

That part of your Grail training, or something you picked up independently?

[herrstory]

I've only been with the Grail for ten years. So clearly, I've learned most of my tactics outside of the organization. I preferred it when you were surly and angry to your mildly flirtatious demeanor. So please, go back to where you were before.

[ Which...probably only served as an invitation for Chilton to amp it up. Starr realized this belatedly. ]

[slightlyoffchilt]

Surly and angry really sets your juices burning, is that it? [A sick sort of grin cuts across his face.] When you bring someone to heel, you prefer when they deserve it.

Makes you all the more righteous, doesn't it?

[herrstory]

I am not having this conversation with you. Finish up your drink and then we will get you home, safe and sound.

[ Unless Chilton intended to spend the night here....and in that case, Starr was in for an awfully long evening. ]

[slightlyoffchilt]

[With a juvenile roll of his eyes, he did as he was told -- finishing his drink without question, and standing to be ushered by the ever-responsible Herr Starr.]
