Summary
“It doesn’t usually work like that with Alex,” Greg said, deliberately casual. “He does things that amuse me and saves his real performance for when I have more esteemed guests, usually of the imperial variety.”
“Oh, so I guess I can just go fuck myself then,” Rhod said with no real heat. He cocked his head and Greg realised a moment too late that his hand was still resting on Alex’s arm. “Why do imperial guests rate a performance?”
Greg shrugged and tried to remove his hand in a casual way. “Alex’s humour is dogshit enough that it tends to put me in the right mood for dealing with Rome,” he said, his smile sharpening. “And when I am called upon to render my judgement on behalf of the Empire, it always helps to have someone fucking annoying to take my ire out on.”
Alex grinned widely, revealing a gap between his front teeth. “Thank you, Greg,” he said brightly.
