( he's certain the correct name will come to him, when he finds the steed. he's also warmed by her professions of interest and feeling. )
I'd expect only the cutest. ( his tone is a touch flirtatious. after all, he does find her similarly charming.
he sobers, just some. )
Horses aside, however, I was wondering if you'd do me a favor.
I need some help with the filing system at Subversion. You have the experience and capabilities, and I'd trust no one else. ( that is true, all the loss and isolation he's suffered considered.
(and perhaps, if she did make an error, he'd be less likely to fire her, or worse, on the spot.) )
[ She answers the flirtatious tone with a bright smile, her gaze drifting over him briefly. It was nice to have this kind of exchange. ]
Absolutely, I can do that for you! I don't get to file a lot at the hospital and well, keeping myself busy can only be a good thing. And I'm glad you can trust me.
[ So she's already agreed before he's mentioned about her being paid. ]
Oh, cool! Pay would be good. We can work out those details later, depending on how long it takes me to sort out the files at Subversion. [ A beat. ] When do you need me for?
( he has no reason to expect anything besides a yes, but her enthusiasm still inspires a soft, admiring smile for how she lights up. his own eyes move over her features and her smile as she responds. ) Whenever you'd like. The sooner the better, if I'm honest. As far as I can tell, it won't be a simple task. I'll also need you to flag any paperwork or contracts that have been neglected or expired for me.

Sure, sure. I'll do that. With the amount of paperwork I gotta deal with for a huge lawfirm, it shouldn't be an issue for me to figure out a system.
