This Was Such A Sweet Ask To Receive And Roman Just Had To Be A Dick - Tumblr Posts

"Mr. Sionis, if I wanted to poison you I wouldn't be so obvious. My cookies are fine, please have one."

“I’m not worried about poison, Miss Kraven.” Roman said bluntly, never one to mince his words. His tone didn’t carry it’s usual ferocity since the librarian had never done anything to him personally but he couldn’t help but remain cautious, particularly since he was certain they’d been drugging his food. Sedating him long-term was out of the question no matter how much they’d have loved to do it, so the next best step was slipping him a steady dose in whatever mystery slops they’d scraped up for the inmates that day. It pissed him off immensely, how cowardly the staff could be that they’d resort to such lowly measures just to keep him under their control. He hadn’t felt clear-minded since the day he’d arrived, no matter how much he slept - which was much more these days yet he remained tired all the same. The scent of freshly-baked cookies nearby made his stomach stir however, like an animal disturbed during it’s hibernation. Roman wasn’t overly fond of sweets but the smell of something fresh and identifiable was quickly proving a temptation. Unfortunately he was stubborn, spiteful even to himself. ”Perhaps another time, mia signora? Besides, I thought one of the rules of a library was no food or drink allowed.”
