[Sinclair looks up at Oria for a moment, and then winds his arms around him. Casinos are terrible places, so causing trouble there is always something Sinclair thinks is fine (secretly). He reaches up to cup Oria's cheek, considering the kinds of disguises Oria might have had to come up with.

(If the sex scene is still ongoing, Sinclair doesn't pay attention to it)]

But only in disguise, huh...? [But he turns over Oria's words in his head and nods] Businesses are pretty complicated...but I hope what you pushed for worked out. [except Oria got shot, and that makes Sinclair unhappy. He's sure there were news articles on the regulations but Things Happened shortly after so he never got around to reading them back then]

[dissimulative]

[ Did it? Honestly, Oria wasn't thinking about it at all when he returned from Fragment. He thought about it every now and then as "one of the things he needed to get done" but other than that, it was so low on the priority list despite how he got shot for it. ]

I'm pretty good at disguises if I have a lot of time to prepare myself for it, aren't I?

[ Honestly, he felt pretty proud of the fact that Sinclair couldn't tell it was him. He worked real hard on that one. ]

[insinning]

[Sinclair rubs his thumb over Oria's cheek, trying to recall how he looked back then]

Honestly, it kept throwing me every time I heard your voice come from a face that wasn't yours.

[It was so weird??]

[dissimulative]

It was just that good, huh?

[ He considers the movie just as over since Bond had that second sex scene with the women post mastermind fight. He still enjoys the thumb over his cheek though, smiling. ]

It took me a while, especially the green contacts. I don't want to wear contacts again if I can help it.

[insinning]

Are they that uncomfortable?

[ There's probably more violence and action happening, but Sinclair doesn't pay much attention to the film, more interested in how Oria even managed to do it. Make up is magic...]

[dissimulative]

I don't like stuff in my eyes. Glasses are forever. It was the closest prescription they had of mine, but it still takes time to get used to them.

[ So Oria was pretty much partially handicapped for Kayser Corp despite the dangers. ]

What contributed to most of my changes were the face lift tapes. It made my face structure look different than normal, so that's most likely why people can't recognize me. It's as if something is off, but you can't really pinpoint why. It's a very subtle change.

[insinning]

I don't think I'd like poking myself in the eye every day either. [Glasses suit Oria anyway so. Also now that Sinclair is aware...honestly, Oria. That was scary. He kisses Oria's cheek] Mm. It was definitely weird.

[dissimulative]

[ You know what. He'll recommend them to Rodya the next time he talks to her. It's hard to make yourself look completely different with no resemblance to your usual self without it being a permanent change, after all. ]

I admit that it can be really fun. I might even consider it as a hobby, but it's only for important things like that.

[insinning]

Ms Faust was really impressed with what you did actually. I think you gave her some ideas. [What ideas? Who knows. Sinclair doesn't]

[dissimulative]

Hm... Does this mean you'll be going into some recon missions in a disguise? That's the only thing I can think of.

[ Might see Sinclair as a maid again...?! ]

[insinning]

Hmmm, maybe? I feel like there are better people than me for recon work...

[Sinclair doesn't spill secrets like Don, but he's also a terrible actor. He gets stage fright]

[dissimulative]

What I found to be helpful was to not speak unless you absolutely have to.

[ The secretary didn't say a word until Arvel left, so... Oria knows it's hard too, but he doesn't get stage fright. He just wants to tell people off so bad. ]

Grit your teeth together if you have to.

[insinning]

...you were really holding back telling off Mr. Dongrang and the Kayser Corp execs, weren't you?

[ Sinclair can do that. Probably]

[dissimulative]

Yeah.

[ Oria says with a smile. He still told them off, but apparently that wasn't even at the tip of what he actually wanted to say. ]

It felt really insulting to me, specifically.

[insinning]

...yeah? It really did feel like they didn't do their research at all...

[And then it all went to hell anyway so. His gaze slides back over to the tv when explosions start happening. And...that sure is the woman drowning. What]

[dissimulative]

Yup...

[ Oria looks at the screen and yeah, there goes the second love interest. ]

You know what? Maybe his dick is cursed.

[insinning]

[Apparently it was an act of self sacrifice...penance for her betrayal?]

...maybe...

[dissimulative]

Yeah. I like my interpretation better.

[ Oria really has that cat smile on his face right now. ]

Absolutely cursed.

[insinning]

[Cat smile...Sinclair wonders too]

I mean...with as many James Bond movies there are out there...

[He wont be lured in by this, he wont]

[dissimulative]

Those poor honey traps.

[ Oria laughs a little and shakes Sinclair a little gently side to side. ]

What do you think?

[insinning]

[Hey--! Sinclair clings to Oria indignantly to stop the shaking]

Hm? About?

[dissimulative]

People whose job it is to seduce others, but end up dying like thay anyway.

[ He stops the shaking and gives a kiss to his cheek. ]

[insinning]

Um...[Sinclair pauses as he considers that] It's probably not a job for people who don't know what they're doing, right? So...I guess it depends on why they were trying to seduce someone? Or if they had a choice...?

[Is he overthinking this]

Stories like this one are meant to be a little tragic though...

[dissimulative]

Do you think it's tragic?

[ Because Oria apparently doesn't. But then again, he knows this is a movie and fiction will always be fiction, but they're partly based on true things. ]

[insinning]

Mm. She was just trying to save her boyfriend...but then all of this happened.

[Well, it would probably be more tragic if he was paying more attention to the film]
