[She knows damn well that a low profile was impossible, she's not stupid, even if she tends to play down her intelligence greatly. And the whole situation amuses her too much.] I'm sure it sounds silly. But even a woman in my position occasionally desires a bit of privacy. And I assumed that in this place I'd get it. Foolish of me. [Men like it when women are docile and stupid. When they admit they're wrong. In her experiences, at least. So she keeps the act up to some degree, no matter what company she keeps aside from her highest employees and partners.
She really is trouble, but she's not likely to cause him much of it at this point. Like her male counterparts, trust is not something she has for people as a rule. She's perhaps a little more likely to let someone in, but that's a marginal chance still. So she can play nice, knowing her power will protect her if the situation arises. This means she can play nicely, and have a good time without worry if nothing else.
For now, she's going to simply wine and dine herself, and pay his way until she's bored of him.] Have you seen the pictures of him? Sir Crocodile? I was expecting something different from the headlines. He doesn't look very much like me. [She's still in shock about that, real and pure shock. It's like her youth, pushed into masculine hell. He's ugly, and she can't imagine living that way.
But he has fantastic tastes in clothes. She has to give him that.] I think there are a few potential guilty parties that we can easily point a finger at. I think someone was meddling where they shouldn't have meddled. Perhaps a few someones, working together.
[The waiter is back, and she orders herself a steak dinner. The fact that there's a fresh tomato salad on the menu is a plus too. She also gets a steak, raw and very expensive, for her little pet. Who is still sitting there like a fat awkward child, waiting for mommy to give him a treat.
Maternal instinct is a bitch, and she takes it out on the damn thing.] There are only a handful of people capable of something this foolish, that I can think of anyway. And many of them are Marine funded. Which means getting the truth about this situation out might be easier said than done.
