Would her starting to flirt with Eliese count as obnoxious? Or more to the point, would Zero consider Eliese reciprocating an infringement on her hospitality?

"Why should I care? I'm not your pimp."

"Certainly not. Though it seems to me a good idea to establish what degree of purely transactional you wish our relationship to be."

"I don't trade, and I don't fucking negotiate. I take what I want," she says, far more forcibly than Eliese's calm tone could possibly warrant. (She's acting more nervous than angry, though - or at least there's some old fear lurking under her anger.)

"And what is it that you want?" Eliese asks. "I will tell you this- you are a bright girl whose company I have rather enjoyed in the time we have known each other, and I have no desire to harm you inadvertently."

- She turns away from Eliese, hiding her expression. "How the fuck should I know?" she mutters under her breath - it's unclear if the remark is actually meant for Eliese. Louder: "What are you after?"

"To provide you with the chance to choose for yourself."

She throws her hands up in the air. "Fine! I don't fucking know, okay?" She lowers her hands and breathes out heavily, then glances back at Eliese, expression guarded. She shakes her head then, and looks away, though her posture's differently tense. "Honestly? What I want depends on if you're going to fucking backstab me like everyone else has." Huff. "Though I don't care if you flirt with Five either way. Exclusivity's a trap."

"Noted. I've no intention of betraying you, and I doubt that there is anything in this world that would induce me to do so."

Humorless snort. "Well, you're not going to sell me out for gold." She pauses, then shakes her head angrily. "But the last bitch just dropped me in a ditch when I got sick and stopped being fucking cute or whatever." She clenches her fists. "I tore her and her newest 'girlfriend' to bloody shreds when I caught them, and I'll do worse to you if you ever think leaving me for dead is a good fucking idea."

"I thank you for your honesty. I would not abuse the trust of anyone I cared about in such a way."

"...Are you saying you care about me?"

"Hm. It seems I am."

She has no clue how to handle this.

Eliese will be making no particular demands of her. She can think it over at her leisure.

...Huff.

"...Thanks."

She nods in acknowledgment.

"...Let's see if Five is done."

A fine idea. She did say it wouldn't be too long...

Five does in fact extract herself fairly soon.

Excellent. Matters all arranged to her satisfaction?

Yep. Hex has it from here. 

Then shall they depart?

"I'm good to go."

Zero nods.
