What, so neither is boring? Exactly what is it you like about me so much? You're quick to call a lot of things boring, from what I've seen so far.

Being moved by the art around me would distract me from my job, wouldn't it?

Boring things are boring, isn't that natural~?

I don't know, I've never tried to guard a museum. Would it be distracting?

[He smiles, tilts his head, coy and teasing.]

Having something so very nice to look at to break the monotony?

I can't speak for your attention span, but mine is terrible.

Maybe I should try to distract you more~

Isn't that just being greedy?

I guess that isn't past you, though, considering.

I hope I haven't given the impression I'm virtuous.

No need to worry about that.

Oh good~ Now I think I've asked enough, have you anything you want to know?

Hmm.

What is it you want from me, exactly?

Good company~! I like you. I think you're interesting. And I just want to enjoy myself, so indulge me.

Demanding. What makes me so interesting?

You just are. I'm an eccentric, world-class art thief, I can tell what's interesting and what isn't.

And here I was hoping to understand even a little bit.

Are you intrigued by me?

You're interesting.

And can you say why?

It'd be pretty easy to do what you did and say "you just are", you know.

Wouldn't that be fine? If you can't express it that doesn't make it less true. But can you say why?

It's not that I can't express it. It's kind of a no-brainer? You're very strange, and therefore interesting.

Haha! Well I'll concede that. But most people would feel threatened or disturbed by me. They wouldn't agree to coffee. Nor would they hold back in a PTSD flashback--in fact, is that really something most anyone would consider possible? You're also beautiful, and very interesting. I want you, and I like having what I want. I don't have a special interest in fixing you, and I'm not a good person, I simply like you because you interest me. Is that hard to imagine?

...Yes. This isn't something I could have ever seen coming, you know?

But you do find it interesting. Isn't that what's really strange?

[he shrugs.]

Regardless, I do believe those are your feelings on the matter, and I find it interesting. That's the situation.

In that case, next time it should be dinner at my house.

...That's brave. A little stupid, too?
