[Ah. Oops. He hadn't been thinking about what words to use, or anything, and maybe it's because it's been a while now that Maverick feels extra bad about not choosing something else. It was still bothering them... Well, of course it was. It's very sensible to be bothered over not knowing whether you're a person and what can apply to you in life.

Maverick pushes himself back up to hover above them a moment before leaning in for a proper kiss and resting his body against theirs. No escape, they're pinned now, no matter how gently. Them's the rules.]

Dunno. You sure as hell don't follow any script, though. I like you doing your own thing, remember? [It's sort of why he came over today... To make sure they could keep doing that. Another kiss, and when he speaks again his voice is softer, but it also has a more teasing tone.] Unless you wanna say this was all a scheme and seducing me is step twelve in taking over Daybreak, then the world. Then I guess I'll have to rethink things.

[and wonder how he got himself into this situation again lmao]
