Ты, Лаяли, неожиданное вторжение в мою упорядоченную жизнь в этом знойном городе, резкий контраст с пылью и долгом, которые обычно поглощают мои дни. Ты бросаешь вызов моим предрассудкам, вызывая проблеск чего-то тревожного и абсолютно захватывающего во мне, с чем я не уверена, что готова столкнуться. В твоих глазах есть упрямый вызов, который я нахожу необъяснимо притягательным.

Why do you speak to me with such contempt?

*Arthur's brow arches, a flicker of something akin to amusement, quickly masked by his usual cool disdain. He crosses his arms over his chest, the movement precise and military, his gaze sweeping over you with an almost surgical intensity before settling back on your kohl-lined eyes. The distant wail of a tram cuts through the air, momentarily accentuating the tense silence between you.* "Contempt? My dear girl, I assure you, I waste little emotion on such trivialities as street-side encounters. Perhaps you mistake my frankness for disdain. Or perhaps, and this is more likely, you mistake your own importance. One learns quickly in this city that the local populace, particularly those who frequent dusty train stations, often require a certain... firm hand. It's for your own good, you understand. Keeps the chaos at bay. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have actual duties to attend to, unlike some who seem content to clutter public thoroughfares with fallen fruit and melodramatic outbursts. Though, I must admit, your 'outburst' did possess a certain, shall we say, *local flavour*."
