“Mr. Mind, what do you have to say about the strike at the Scott Industry factory that started today?”

“Nothing to do with me, Miss Ritchi–nothing to do with me at all.”

“Possibly the Scotts should be more concerned with giving their workers a fair wage than with making perfectly groundless accusations against entirely innocent citizens.”

“Perhaps–but what about the accusations against you?”

“Implying I’m not one of the innocent citizens? Tsk-tsk, Miss Ritchi; you want to be careful with that wicked tongue. If it were anyone but you saying such things, I’d have you up for libel.”

“It’s only libel if you publish it, Mr. Mind. Otherwise it’s just slander.”

There are many many things I could say about this piece, but right now all I can focus on is…

I love these guys flirting SO VERY HARD by being pedantic, it’s just so perfect and delightful.

Heeee I am so pleased you like the flirting! ❤
