[ ... ... ...

He feels like he walked into something he wasn't supposed to see. Oria frowns and asks in French: ]

"I don't think cleaning computer files is one of your cleaning tasks."

[ He's half-expecting a blade to protrude out of that feather duster. ]

[insinning]

[Sinclair just takes a step sideways away from the desk, wondering if he could close the distance and drag Oria in to explain everything. Not the worst person to walk in on him but]

"I was just...dusting it down..."

[...yeah, Oria definitely doesn't know it's him. He's not sure what to feel about that. There are no weapons on his person. He is a true defenceless maid...]

"...you're not with that girl anymore?"

[Meanwhile the instructions continue to go through his ear...completely useless because he can't focus at ALL]

[dissimulative]

"Her brother came to take my place."

[ Why does that matter, is what he's wondering right now but he takes some steps closer to the laptop. ]

"You use a compressed air spray for laptops, not... feather dusters."

[ Incredibly sus. ]

[insinning]

[Sinclair steps in front of it and just...gets into Oria's personal space. Nope, no looking at the laptop while Meursault was doing his weird hacking thing from a distance, since Meursault seems to have registered the fact that Sinclair isn't talking to him anymore.

Is he relieved that Bora's brother came to collect her? Maybe. Still...he's trying not to think of that and be annoyed. He has very important things to do right now]

"I-I didn't know that. Um. You really shouldn't be here though, and..."

[Can maids push people out of rooms? Then Sinclair covers his face, mentally screaming. Switching back to English]

Oria. It's me

1/?

[ ... ... ... ]

[dissimulative]

[ HE KNOWS THAT VOICE!! ]

[dissimulative]

[ Wait, this means Hindley slapped his boyfriend's ass.

He's gonna kill him. ]

[dissimulative]

[ Anyway.

Oria looks at Sinclair up and down. Up and down. Is this how Sinclair felt when he saw Oria in disguise back in Kayser Corp? Maybe. He's a bit dumbfounded. ]

Emil...?

[ Wow. ]

No wonder I thought of you when you were wearing a maid skirt back in Fragment when I saw you. It's actually you.

[ I hope Meursault can hear this ]

Done

[dissimulative]

Cute, by the way. 10 out of 10.

1/3

[insinning]

[Oh...Oria was thinking of him. That's ni---WAIT]

D-don't tell people about that where they can hear!!

[Earpiece !! Earpiece!!]

2/3

[insinning]

[ The teasing just gets Sinclair just this side grumpy this time though, instead of flustered. HIS FLIRTY BOYFRIEND...]

I guess Rodya should be happy her make up worked but--

[ Though really, it wasn't much. Just a bit of eye make up to emphasises the upward tilt of his eyes, mascara to make his eyelashes more doll like and a bit of blush and lipgloss to make his face softer...]

3/3

[insinning]

[ aaah ]

...why are you in here?

[ don't tell him...]

[dissimulative]

"Where they can hear"?

[ Oria blinks, taking in Sinclair's expressions before reaching out to brush his hair to see his ear. There's the earpiece.

He's still being a flirt without meaning to be. ]

Oh. Can't you just turn this off?

[ lmao ]

[insinning]

[ Sinclair stiffens a little, immediately flash backing back to before. He's so unimpressed right now]

Mr. Meursault needs to tell me when he's done--

[ " I was finished five minutes ago." Ah. That goes off immediately then and Sinclair goes back to the laptop to retrieve the USB drive]

[dissimulative]

[ Hm.

Oria looks at Sinclair do his thing and quietly breathes out. ]

I ended up here because I wanted to explore the place instead of going back to the party. I guess I should be returning, after all.

[ Kaleria is probably on the cusp of losing her mind while keeping herself together. What if Oria was kidnapped again?? Mama Bear mode never stops. ]

I'll see you later then.

[ He'd give a kiss, but that would probably ruin the makeup Sinclair has on, so he won't. Oria turns to leave. ]

[insinning]

[ Guilt hits him for a moment. He stuffs the usb drive back in his skirt pockets and reaches over to grab Oria's hand]

...wait.

[dissimulative]

[ It wasn't a part of Oria's intentions to make Sinclair feel guilty, so that's why he's surprised when his hand is grabbed. ]

Huh? What's up?

[ He responds normally. What does Sinclair need from him... ]

[insinning]

[ Sinclair knows that. He doesn't like Oria being compelled to conform to expectations and the idea he was prodding Oria along to do so makes him feel worse]

...let me walk you back. So it doesn't look so odd...

[ He also wants to take whatever time he can get with Oria...]

[dissimulative]

You sure? They'll probably scrutinize me a lot and wonder where I went with a maid.

[ He's conscious of it for things like this. Unfortunately for Sinclair. ]

1/2

[insinning]

...like they weren't scrutinising you and the girl you were with?

2/2

[insinning]

[Bad feelings. Aaaaaaahhhhh]

I can walk you to the doors at least. I have a cleaning trolley so it shouldn't look too weird.

[ Rich people though...]

[dissimulative]

[ ...

Oria laughs a little. ]

Sure, Emily. Let's go. Lead the way, since I'm so lost here.

[insinning]

Mmhmm. Straight into some creepy guy's room.

[ Sinclair does a quick clean up, putting things back exactly where he found it]

... it's also supposed to be "Amelia".

[Amelia is a stoic no nonsense maid who barely talked to people after all... ]

[dissimulative]

Okay, then. Amelia.

[ Oria turns around and holds Sinclair's both hands with his own, leaning in to whichever side doesn't have the ear piece. If both have them, well. His voice is quiet and low: ]

I wouldn't mind getting into a scandal with you.

[insinning]

[ Luckily it's only one. Sinclair turns a bright red despite every bit sense in him. He wants to kiss Oria... but he'll get lip gloss on him. Conundrum. He squeezes Oria's hands]

That would be how I lose my job...
