"Uh-uh. I'm not getting pulled into this." Cuthbert wagged his finger, but his smile had faded a little. Disentangling his arm from her grip, he ran both hands back through his hair and turned to face her. "Look, this whole business... I'm very flattered. And you're very misguided."
Ugh. Emotional frankness. He pulled a face, rolling his eyes to the heavens as he tried to find the best way to say this. At last, he put up one hand, ticking off on his fingers. "Okay, so there's the four of us, right? Roland's a hopeless romantic with the whole stoic hero thing going for him. Alain's sensitive and sweet and cries over dead puppies. Jamie's an asshole, but he looks after people and he actually gives a fuck about them. What I'm saying is, you had three-quarters of our ka-tet to choose from, and you chose the one whose idea of a lasting relationship is breakfast together afterwards. Not to mention that my life expectancy's about six months at this point. So, yeah. Going to keep avoiding the topic. And the practice field's that way."
