[ Mako's tone is mild, and she smiles briefly, as if putting lie to her words.
No, she really is -- but a part of her is invested in this, in him. She's a liar and a killer, but a part of her doesn't want him to know it; wants him to keep seeing her as what she allows him to see. ]
[ There is a sweetness to him that she wants to preserve, a brightness in his smile that she doesn't want to see dimmed -- and oh, Mako knows, she's in deep, deep trouble.
She's in love with him. ]
I could be a poisonous kitten. [ She smiles, wiggling her fingers briefly. ] Sharp claws.
[Because she is not shy about scratching him when they have sex and he likes that, don't get him wrong. It's just a fact that he's sporting tracks along his shoulders and back from her at any given time.]
[ Yeah, he really would, wouldn't he? Mako could have killed him anytime she wanted -- but this, the thought of seeing Raleigh dead makes her sick, and all she does is go over, pressing a kiss to the crown of his head before depositing more toast onto his plate. ]
[Raleigh wraps an arm around her waist when she comes in close enough, holding her there and maybe trying to nudge her to come sit on his lap. They can share the toast, feed it to each other, you know.
She makes him disgustingly domestic, she really does, just by being around.]
You won me over with your food, that's what it really is.
[ She can say the same for him, because there she is, sidling to settle on his lap. What can she say, really? His lap is a nice, comfortable place for her and she likes the effect he has on her. ]
It's only toast, bacon and eggs.
[ Mako smiles despite herself, settling into his arms and plucking the toast from his plate. ]
[She stole his toast! She can't tease him. Raleigh nudges her head with his for a moment before he turns back for the bacon. Keep the toast then. Bacon's better.]
Alright, I like everything. But you don't have to make me dinner all the time.
[ she totally can! Mako settles into nibbling at her toast before she tilts her head at him curiously. She hadn't considered that, but now that he's mentioned it -- ]

You should trust people so readily. There are a lot of unsavoury people out there.

Are you trying to say you're one of them?
