The bronzerider laughed openly at Roselle's words, replying, "Shards, I knew Camille since she was a baby. I'm old enough to be her father... honestly, she's like a daughter to me, despite not seeing her for so long. Simply accepting that she's a grown woman and will have men pursuing her is difficult enough for me, there's no way I would be attracted to her myself."
Turning slightly towards her as they walked arm-in-arm, his other hand resting lightly on her forearm, he said, "You know how busy I am with my duties... do you really think I have the time to concentrate on two women in my life?" His voice had the exact same teasing tone she had used in hers just moments before, and his grin was playful.

"You hardly have time to focus on one." She'd said it lighthearted enough, but there was some truth to her words. Everyone else in the weyr seemed to be able to balance being with someone and doing their duties - but M'gnum was usually far too busy doing things with his Wing or training or doing Farnath knows what. He'd cancelled more than a few dinners and lunches with her - she was somewhat surprised he had cleared his day today for her. Still she knew what she'd been getting into when she started seeing the overly work motivated bronzerider, so she smiled up at him and leaned her head briefly against his shoulder.

"I truly am sorry, my dear," came the bronzerider's all-too-serious response, "If I had known I would meet such a beautiful and vivacious woman like yourself when I did, I would not have taken on all the responsibilities I did. But now that I did, my honor disallows me to shirk my duties."
Leaning over slightly to attempt to steal a light kiss from Roselle when she leaned against his shoulder and smiled up at him, he then straightened and added, "My workload for the remainder of the week will be quite a bit more difficult to deal with than usual, after all the meetings and plans I had to shift around to free this day up, but anything would be worth making sure I had the entire day to spend with you." Squeezing the greenrider's hand in his, he beamed down at her, his face filled with blatant affection.

A soft kiss was given freely as he leaned down to steal it, and then she returned the gentle squeeze to his hand. Shaking her head a bit her long dark locks bounced about her shoulders, "You are absolutely ridiculous at times - I would have been fine waiting to see you throughout the next week. Though I do appreciate today."
Leaning a bit more against him she grins and then bumps her hip against him to try and throw him off balance a bit. "Really, this is a nice surprise. I only expected lunch. Glad I could pencil you in for the rest of the day. You know how busy I can be." A wink up at the bronzerider and she chuckles a bit.

"You may think me just a fool in love, my dear, but trust that I weighed the consequences of my actions... if I did not feel you worth the annoyance of the extra workload, I would not have freed up my time," M'gnum replied, grinning down at the brunette on his arm.
Freeing his hand from hers to steady himself after her unexpected hip-bump knocked his balance a bit off, dragging Roselle a few steps to the right by way of their hooked elbows, he deigned to not re-capture her hand, instead slipping his arm behind his back and using his long reach to cheekily pinch Roselle upon the butt playfully, not even looking first to make sure no one was watching him... the greenrider truly brought out a playfulness and impish attitude in the normally stoic bronzerider that not present when she was absent.
Chuckling at his own antics, he replied, "Indeed, you are quite a hard woman to pin down... I am glad you were able to take time out of your endlessly busy schedule for poor little me," returning the wink.
