"Considering Beckett's preferred methods of persuasion, I'd say she's quite safe from his clutches," she said flippantly, examining her nails. "She doesn't seem like a woman who enjoys inspiring jealousy, let's say that."[break][break]

Was it an uncharitable view of THEO BECKETT? Potentially. Was it accurate based on Elisabeth's sample size of herself and BARNABY FINCH? Certainly.[break][break]

She glanced over her shoulder at Zev Harcourt, pursing her lips as she considered if she should give similar counsel regarding Admin Bee. The Beast didn't seem the type to enjoy pointers, and his offer as it stood was more or less what she'd wanted from him.[break][break]

No sense in gilding that void-black lily, then.[break][break]

"I'm not an especially effusive person, but I appreciate competency. That should be enough to justify any influence I exert, I think."[break][break]

The underboss figured that Naomi Sato could testify to her lack of interpersonal finesse. Overt 'friendliness' would be received with suspicion, if she were to guess.

Zev brow furrowed by a fraction. He didn't know what Elisabeth meant by Theo's "preferred methods of persuasion," but regardless, he felt reassured that Nenet would not succumb to them. Her will was ironclad, her devotion to Zev tested by trials more difficult than a single, meddling man. [break][break]

Instead, the Beast responded to Elisabeth's next words. "I'm not telling you to be her friend." He didn't know if his wife even had friends. "Effusiveness would just irritate her, anyway." [break][break]

Then a thought occurred to Zev, one that drew his mouth into an amused smirk. "Actually, you two might get along, in that case." [break][break]

It was how he and Neffatari Nzingha got along so well originally, before circumstances entangled them in each other's lives: engaging only in what was necessary, and not caring at all otherwise.

"I've no complaints about that arrangement, then."[break][break]

The faintest hint of genuine relief entered Elisabeth's expression as she smiled at Zev Harcourt, though it was the relief of a deal well-struck, and not indicative of any deeper emotional investment. The Beast, like her, could be trusted to be self-interested.[break][break]

That was the only thing she liked about him. His behavior could be predictable, once you understood it for what it was.[break][break]

She tilted her head at him, arms crossing as she regarded him one final time.[break][break]

"Was there anything else you wanted to discuss?"

With Elisabeth's agreement, the conversation reached its conclusion. Zev shook his head and stood, glad to be leaving her office. Despite the tenuous alliance they had reached, he had no desire to linger in her presence. [break][break]

"No, that's all." [break][break]

He was not a man who said goodbye. Small talk and salutations were meaningless. Yet he paused at her office door, a hand on the knob, and tossed her a parting glance over his shoulder. [break][break]

At the very least, he could acknowledge the power she wielded that made their deal possible. [break][break]

"Thank you for your time, Underboss."
