Well, that was a little harsh, Kima. Maybe you should try to spare his feeling a bit. He's not a creep like Alet, you're sure he means well.
<span class="mu-b">-Look Radjo, I'm not mad, but I can't be dealing with this right now, ok?-</span>
-Ok-
<span class="mu-b">-I think you're a nice guy and you've always been a good friend. But right now, we have to stay as just friends. Okay?-</span>
-Is it because of my gene score? Am I not good enough for you? I know I'm not rich or powerful like your family but I really like you and I don't want to lose you just because of who I was born as.-
Oh no.
<span class="mu-b">-Radjo, you're being very insecure about yourself right now. That has nothing to do with anything. You're a good person but just not the right person for me right now. I'm not seeking any relationships with anyone, regardless of who they are. I need to go.-</span>
-Ok, bye.-
You hope he's not too hurt by that exchange; but you can see Mitel and his wife entering the restaurant right now. This is as close as you've ever been able to get to him. Your week stalking the Enforcer is almost up; and this is your last chance to pick up some vital intel...
You manage to snag a seat nearby his booth. You're feeling quite cheeky- Super Spy Kima!
Even from here, you can tell how good their relationship is. He, always yielding and accommodating, and her, always conservative and encouraging. You catch the undertones of his speech; the practiced grace of a trained Hegemonic official, the strained attempt at casual conversation. Enforcers are also required by law to be terrible at small talk.
<span class="mu-r">“...You know, that waiter is carrying a knife from the kitchen in an unsecured pocket. Somebody could get hurt.”</span>
“Oh? Going to report him, or arrest him?”
<span class="mu-r">”I <span class="mu-i">promised</span> I wouldn't bring up work things on our date, and I meant it. Bad enough I had to come in full uniform.”</span>
“It's alright honey.”
<span class="mu-r">”No, it's not. I can't believe they put me on call today; I requested this day off duty...”</span>
“It's okay, I think you look pretty sexy in that.”
<span class="mu-r">”Oh, I do now? Hehe.”</span>
It's cute but, how did he know the waiter had a knife? You don't see...
