Someone's been doing her homework. [Sounding marginally impressed, though in fairness anyone could have referenced that variety of paper. Hello- he runs a company focused on expanding the limitations of digital technology. Trust him, he can understand the desire for more compact and efficient options but he also knows what can happen in a full system collapse and doesn't plan on putting all his eggs in one basket. About that.. lack of gaming thing. That's negotiable right...? Maybe he could lure her into playing more of those.... Takamaki... he can't with you. Checks are useful for showing off your penmanship and skill in twirling writing utensils. They will never go out of style]
Assuming.. we were only out for a month. [Even if time was more or less calculable now, that wasn't always the case. Given the nonsense that followed it did make that encounter feel more like it was from the distant past than the recent present.] I know I will. [Emphasizing the point, yet somehow.. he also thought she wouldn't do terribly either. The time she spent as a phantom thief did require physical fitness. He shouldn't underestimate her] I don't really need the encouragement.
[Oh, he's hit a button with throwing around the word easy. When she reaches for her heels, he's dubious.] Not sure about sweet.. wouldn't it be considering more sporting? [Or whatever the terminology was.] Ann... [He stared at her disapprovingly at the claim. as she fastened those shoes back on her feet. If anything the high heels should make this less of a competition not a greater one. Not only that but .. she could hurt herself in the process. cough.] If you aren't going to take this seriously, we should call it now so you can get started learning the rules.
[If she insisted on this, hopefully she would have the sense to use the front portion of her shoes and not the back. The heels could easily dig into the sand and get lodged there. At least he could appreciate her bravado] That much, huh? I would set the odds much lower than that and more within reason, but you go ahead and live in that fantasyland you've constructed for yourself. [He suspects..] That sounds suspiciously date-like. Trying to hedge your bet so that even if you lose, you win? Not that I can blame you.. [I mean, he knows he is amazing.. the full package, didn't she say before?] .. We'll see.
[Leaving it up in the air for now, but not appearing disagreeable to the notion. In fact he might have even smiled as he leaned his neck to one side rolling out a final kink before aiming for the imaginary starting line. He waited for her to do the same.] On the count of three... we'll begin.
