To a degree, that does place you under my protection as well." Casual was his preference, and for all his teasing he truly wasn't looking at Rosh for anything intimate.

Nor was he actively looking for any kind of relationship either, beyond what they had already. That of his helping her with her problem of Haage. He was teasing because it was fun, and she had left herself open to it.
