What would a confident person say here? "J-just because I don't talk much doesn't mean I don't have one?"

...brilliant. A tour de force.

"It's a matter of practicality, Wen Ning. Do you really think you're the sort of person who ought to be the most powerful person in the world?"

"You.. could make the argument that I was chosen because I'm...meek?"

"And in your meekness you've already changed editorial policy at one of America's largest magazines."

"--it is an improvement over '15 muffins that won't give you a muffin top' or..." What does Cosmo usually contain? "...'90 ways to man sex your man?'"

"I think I should show you what harm you can cause," she says, and walks closer, and gently strokes her fingers down her face, and kisses him.

Quest available: Survive

Survive.

Success: Survival.
Failure: Lack of survival.

Thanks, he wouldn't have noticed he was in mortal danger otherwise.

... she is kissing him, which is as physically nice as it is mentally terrifying. Though it's not clear how it could be deadly? ...did she poison her lips...?

He is leaning into it, despite his better judgement.

She strokes his hair and kisses his neck and his ears, so gently, so kindly. 

Still not entirely sure of the danger here?

But even if his rational mind can't work it out, his body is convinced, and half of him is trying scrabble back while the other half leans in.

(She's wonderful and so so smart, and maybe this is a test to make him stronger, maybe she's on the One's side...)

She starts to remove his clothes!

...well, Schroedinger's cat is out of the box: she has definitely seen him naked now.

"I'm-- I'm not sure this is necessary?"

She touches his dick. "You want it, though."

Nervous laughter. "Which I think makes it a bad example of being dangerous?"

In lieu of answering the question she kisses him and grinds her thigh against his dick. 

This is the shortest time he has ever known someone before they've had sex with him. Even Nie Huaisang had known him for longer.

He feels... a way about that.

"-- you really don't have to."

"I want to," she says, and starts to pull off her own clothes. 

Her breasts are small but nicely shaped and she puts his hands on them. 

She's beautiful-- and he's incredibly biased, he knows that,  but he's sure she's attractive to an unbiased eye.

And now she's naked on his lap and putting his hands on her.

"O-okay? If you're sure?" She has to have an angle on this.

Her angle seems presently to be taking advantage of ART 13 as it is applied to playing with nipples.

She seems to have quite sensitive nipples. 

Sure? If she wants to...? He can just be. Helpful.

Mm yes he can be so helpful. With his tongue also. She is making very pleased noises. 

...if she's enjoying herself, then the net amount of joy in the world is going up. That's what he wants. That's what, at the end of the day, matters.

And those noises are so hot.

He can be malleable. Lead, and he will follow.

She moves his hand between her legs and pushes her clit on his fingers like she's using them as a toy.

He can feel her getting harder under his fingerpads, and it's a lot and--

He is so incredibly hard, and she has definitely seen that picture of him with all of Ika inside of him and that knowledge is not helping.

He'd say he still isn't sure why she's doing this ten minutes after meeting him, most of which she spent questioning why he was ever chosen. But. He's not such an love struck fool that he can't see how those two are connected.

...It doesn't matter. She's having a good time.

She is having such a good time. She is shuddering as she grinds on between his fingers and his dick, and she comes and pauses briefly and then keeps going--
