If Renton was a defensive person, maybe he would have cared more that she seemed to be putting him on the spot about purportedly ‘misinterpreting’ her flash of ears. Did her being an elf have anything to do with the breach and imminent investigation? He wasn’t defensive though so he let it slide off him like all the other accusations thrown his way.
He just nodded politely, kept his tea close to his mouth, and waited for her to make her point - which - he noted she failed to address his arguably more important point: that her story about herself was nonetheless conspicuously inconsistent. She was lucky he wasn’t argumentative like Owen.
Renton was left to assume perhaps she was a terrible liar. It didn’t seem that she could keep track of the threads she sewed. A spider caught in it’s own web. What could be more tragic.
She had insisted in the same conversation two opposing statements: I am not accustomed to scrutiny in a general sense. I am accustomed to a kind scrutiny. And then she was an expert - enough to break into a secure facility and be confident that she hadn’t messed up and incriminated herself. But she wasn’t an expert.
The spider tangled itself. Tsk tsk. This would never do in a courtroom.
Thank God the food was here. Well the starter. Renton went in on the fried tomatoes to give him an excuse to remain silent. Don’t talk with your mouth full, he had been taught as a child. Don’t talk was just the theme today it seemed.
When Emma reached for the appetizer, Renton was pleased for two reasons. For one, he knew his judgment in ordering them was warranted. And two, he felt it once again proved his point she was a LIAR. She had just insisted she wasn’t super hungry and ‘oh it will be wasted on me.’ But look at her go. Just gobbling up that tomato like an homage to his judgment. Oh yes, he was feeling a bit smug and congratulating himself on his accurate judge of character. His face remained that pleasant neutral mask.
Well, at least one thing about her was consistent. She insisted she didn’t fuck up. That was true as far as he could tell.
“Well-” he popped a sauce dipped tomato into his mouth. He took the time to chew and swallow before he continued. “The news will break and you’ll find out eventually. So I’ll give you a little exclusive.” He wiggled a bit in his chair, as if excited, as if he had something big to tell. Renton would just pretend she was a reporter for TMZ or something eager to get the hot scoop on him. He liked that kind of attention. “-I leaked the information about the breach. I’m holding data regarding certain financial transactions hostage upon threat of releasing these documents until they meet my demands. For fun, I also encrypted some of their most important files. I’ll give them the keys when I’m satisfied.”
He dusted his fingers delicately over the floor and then wiped greasy residue onto his napkin. He peered at his fingernails ridding them of dirt that wasn’t there. He was impeccable.
“Your turn.”
