[visibly taken aback]

I'm trying to be reasonable and considerate.

Clarity would be reasonable and considerate. Specific instructions, seventy-two hour turnaround times at the very least. Examples. Being on the same page regarding the products we're working on and their purpose.

[still smiling!!! but you can see his eyebrow twitch slightly at each of those items]

Yes. Understood. Please count with those seventy-two hours—and you'll have the weekend to yourself, of course. No specific instructions beyond what we've already discussed.

... And I can email you a couple of examples from my membership content so you'll have a clear idea how explicit the script should be.

Anything else?

What time is your recording session?

[reaches for his phone to check, tap-tap]

Five PM.

[in a little less than two hours]

[takes out a tablet from her bag]

Then I won't have time for my commute and feedback edits. I'll do them here if you don't mind.

[lets out a soundless gasp]

I-It's fine. Like I said, I can just record it as-is and we can implement the changes for the next track.

[takes out a small keyboard as well]

Please stop being condescending. I have my pride as a writer to consider too.

I'm not being condescending...

I'm sorry. I meant to say, please stop being your version of reasonable and considerate.

[stares at her]

[sure, she can do the eye contact thing. is her message getting across?]

[looks away first because he's a coward, though he seems thoughtful.]

Thank you Miss Marsh, I appreciate it.

If you haven't had lunch yet, please let me get you something.

Let's finish this first. I won't be able to type and eat at the same time anyway.

[and then he'll have to go and she'll head out and eat elsewhere, and that's fine

typetype]

Not even a drink...?

Oh, thank you. Coffee or tea is fine.

[enjoy the two seconds of small smile you got, goes back to writing]

[mesmerized.

oh no... she's cute... even while under thirty layers of makeup that fundamentally change her entire facial structure and a wig that doesn't suit her at all, her smile is so cute...]

[looks away and starts tapping at his phone once more. in a matter of minutes, an intern will be bringing a tray with both a coffee pot and a tea pot, and a small assortment of fancy tea bags to pick from, along with mugs, sugar, et al.]

[that is so much overkill

but since that's the case, ok, jasmine tea why not]

Thank you. Should I forward my edits to your email when I'm done or do you want to see them directly on my tablet?

[he has resumed typing on his laptop and going through papers, but at least he finally gave his sandwich a second bite]

Whichever is more convenient for you.

Okay.

[working

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh silence blessed silence good tea. getting in the editing groove. everything is clicking]

[if anybody were to look at Yue's screen right now, they'd find the document he was working on stopped looking like coherent text about three paragraphs ago. instead, it is now full of nonsensical keyboardmashing that goes on and on as he keeps trying to look at Catherine out of the corner of his eye]

[drinking her tea, tweak tweak hmmm]

Can you check if this is okay? [have her tablet

the camera is taped closed and has a sticker that looks like a coiled dragon tail lizard thing over it. honestly is whatever just something to put over her camera. pay no attention to it. (it's the logo of her light novel saga)]

[he is absolutely distracted by the little sticker for a good few seconds and is immediately filing this knowledge away.

okay, actually reading through the script again. what's changed?]
