Ring, ring...ring, ring... beep!

[Riz's eyes narrow as he is clearly at war. Cause, on the one hand, his work! Very important!

On the other hand... miss Jane bakes a killer cookie.]

That might be considered blackmail in some worlds...

[cyan_maid]

It's definitely not blackmail! It's a reward - an incentive. Blackmail would be a much more negative thing, and frankly, I'm not about to stoop so low against a friend.

[nightyorb]

Sounds exactly like something a blackmailer would say.

[Riz is grinning as he says it though -- a goofy, toothy grin that makes him look much more like a kid than his regular serious business expression might.]

[cyan_maid]

[And Jane is grinning a big toothy grin right back - one that fits quite well with her jovial nature.]

Nonsense! I solemnly swear to only use actual, real blackmail against actual, real ne'er-do-wells! If I even find any, since I do not actively go searching for it.

[nightyorb]

Uhuh. It just happens to occasionally mysteriously find its way into your possession, right?

[The classic rogue excuse.]

[cyan_maid]

If it is there, then yes! But I assure you it is not.

[Look if it HAPPENS to be there and she HAPPENS to come across it then it's totally an accident]
