[ What's left is an expression of strained politeness and a marked uncertainty as to whether or not she is joking. Is sword a euphemism? Why do indecent comics contain advice on weapons maintenance? Who is this marketed for?

(He should not explore that last thought too closely; the entire Rose-Branwen family does come to mind.)

Why does she think it would appeal to him? ]

I— no, I think I will keep to my... preferred genres. Thank you.

[ This is an interaction that is going normally. ]

[ Gideon does not seem surprised or offended at Ozpin's strained expression. It's honestly not unexpected. Old people don't read dirty magazines -- Gideon would know. She grew up on a planet full of them.

She shrugs. ]

Your loss. My friend Sextus is working on a romance novel, you could try that instead? I don't think we have a lot of folklore or whatever, except for the Tome. [ a beat, thinking. ] And the Tomb. But that's dumb.

[ screw the mummified asshole who keeps ruining Gideon's chances! ]
