[gautsome]

Well -- [He huffs, expression darkening with frustration for just a moment. Then, as quickly as it came on, the sunshine is back.]

Just testing you, that's all.

[fearinahandfulof]

[Cassandra does not buy that for even one second.]

Testing me.

[gautsome]

Yeah, you know. Like one big joke?

[Another wink, now.]

It's what we call an icebreaker.

[fearinahandfulof]

[Why can't he just admit he didn't know?

The answer occurs to her almost immediately: he doesn't want to look bad in front of other people. Really, as insecure as Cassandra herself is, she probably should have thought of that sooner, but, well... Cassandra's not the best with people.

Which is also one of the reasons she's ignoring that wink.]

Icebreaker?

[gautsome]

To... [His smile falters, just for a moment. At least he's no longer the one confused.] you know. break the tension?

[fearinahandfulof]

Oh.

[There's a short pause.]

I don't think it worked.

[gautsome]

You're talking to me, aren't you? Sounds like a win to me.

[fearinahandfulof]

That doesn't mean it actually broke any tension, though.

[gautsome]

It did for me. [A beat.] Guessin' it didn't for you, though.

[fearinahandfulof]

Not... really?

[Mostly he's just confusing her.]

[gautsome]

Right. Right. [Sylvain blinks away his brief moments of doubt. He's crashed and burned worse than this before.]

So, anyway. I'm Sylvain.

[fearinahandfulof]

[Cassandra doesn't particularly care about that - she just has a hard time with artifice, thanks largely to painful experience. Though Sylvain's artifice at least seems relatively harmless so far...]

Cassandra.

[gautsome]

Cassandra. A lovely name for a lovely girl. Offer to shake your hand but -- [He waves it lamely at the gear.]

The pleasure is all mine.

[fearinahandfulof]

[Even Cassandra can tell he's flirting at this point. Why, she's not sure, unless he just does that with every woman he meets (not that Cassandra's really used to thinking of herself as a woman rather than a weapon even now).]

...Thank you?

[gautsome]

No need to thank me. Just doing my part as an honest man.

[Somewhere in the multiverse, Sylvain's friends sigh.]

[fearinahandfulof]

[He has an interesting definition of 'honest.']

I... see.
