Sitting at a desk in the study, Prudence typed furiously, glancing over her shoulder and looking around frequently. She hunched over her laptop screen as best she could, trying to cover the words she was typing with her torso while still looking at them. She jumped at every sound, ready to slam the laptop closed if necessary. On the one hand, she reasoned as she typed, this needed to be written out now or it would leave her regretful. On the other hand, if she got cauhgt she could be out on her tail.

Another boring day has passed by and Pip seriously thought he was going insane if another mission wasn't going to be issued soon. To stave off boredom he decided to go explore the Hellsing estate once again for any hidden tidbits that were of interest. As he was preparing to round a particular corridor, the sound of furious typing resounding from the study has caught his attention. Slowly he crept into the study and observed a lone figure hunched over her laptop with utmost discretion. Curiosity caught the better of him and he quietly stalked towards his prey. With sudden force he put his hand on the unknown woman's shoulder. "Well .... well .... well .... what do we have here mon petite? he said.

"AAH!" Prudence jumped up and slammed the laptop closed. Whirling around to face the man, she brought her arms to her sides tightly and puffed out her chest. "What'reyoudoing? Who'reyou?"Was he one of the new recruits Integral had mentioned? Why did no one ever see fit to introduce themselves to her?!

Now that the said person had turned around, Pip finally got the chance to take a good look at her. 'Hmmm ... a bit dowdy for my tastes but one can't be too picky when the current female population was sorely lacking.' Letting out a lopsided grin, Pip replied "Why hello ..... hello .....who might you be?.... where are my manners ... allow me to introduce myself mademoiselle, je m'appelle Pip Bernadotte." With said declaration he took off his hat and stooped down in the most gallant bow he can muster.

Instinctively, Prudence breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh good, you're French. Oh crap, that's racist!" She brought her hand to her mouth, blushing furiously. In an attempt to ignore her faux pas, she pretended she said no such thing and held out her hand. "I'm Prudence Herman. I write things. I'd attempt to address you in your native tongue, but my French is completely atrocious, largely owing to the fact that I never tried to learn it."

Taking her hand in his own gloved one he pressed a feather light kiss on her knuckles. "It must be my luck to meet such a beautiful fille, one that knows the language of love nonetheless ..... so my fair maiden ... what are you trying to hide from me? and don't try to talk your way out of it either" with that being said he let out a throaty chuckle

Prudence smoothed down her hair a bit with her free hand. "Well I certainly wasn't writing pornography, what would give you that idea?" Projection, Prudence, she thought to herself as soon as the words left her mouth. Surely a stereotypically bawdy Frenchman such as Monsieur Bernadotte could keep a secret, though, right?

Pip let a charming smile fall from his lips. Still holding her hand, he used his thumb to rub gentle circles on the back of her hand as his ring finger discretely made its way to her radial artery where he immediately felt her pulse running a mile a minute. 'Ha! Ze little one is lying to me! ... just as I thought .....' "Actually mon petite I think you were writing something naughty.... I assure you there is nothing I haven't seen nor heard yet before, so why don't we have a look?" he asked.

"Aaaah, the thing is," Prudence replied, pulling her hands away and moving defensively toward her laptop, "It...may or may not be about...real people. That you and I...might...know personally. One of whom...may or may not be...your current employer." She shifted nervously a bit. "There's a secret kinkbeast inside this shabby geek shell. Usually people don't find that out until at least the third time we've met, but you seem to be an exception." She smiled weakly and shrugged her shoulders a little.

"Oh? I knew I sensed an kinky librarian aura irradiating from you mon petite ..... so would a certain someone be writing certain erotic stories to fulfill a certain erotic fantasy ....?" he questioned. Than positively the most ingenious thought ran through Pip's head, letting out a very lupine grin, Pip said "Say mademoiselle .... word does spread quite fast around these here parts and what if, lets say moi ..... accidentally let something slip ....."

Prudence held up her hands in a defensive manner before speaking. "It's not to act out my own erotic fantasies, I'm more of a fan, really." If Integral insisted on abstaining from dirty thoughts, someone was going to have to shoulder the burden for her, after all. "And as for why you should keep a secret, I've had that ace up my sleeve since high school." She folded her hands under her chin. "I'll write you one. Anybody you want, any weird specific perversions; my literary filthiness knows no bounds." She smiled her smarmiest, Please-Read-My-Writing smile, the smile she used when trying to sell her writing to people who might publish it.

Stroking his chin thoughtfully Pip thought about the said offer and realized that he might as well kill two birds with one stone. This place needs a little bit more excitement anyways and this is the perfect opportunity to create some, plus he was bored. "Well mon belle .... ze offer is irresistible so I shall take it! but I would like you to give me a rain check for it and I want something else in addition ....."

Prudence assumed a defensive position, wrapping her arms around herself protectively. The porn offer usually swayed people. She almost felt personally insulted; her erotica was certainly hot enough for any blackmail payoff. "What would that be?" Prudence asked apprehesively. "Because if it involves actual clothing removal, I'll at least need to get to know you better first, and even then it's not a sure thing." It was probably the eyepatch that concerned her most. Her Jump-To-Ridiculous-Conclusions reflex didn't trust French Pirates.

After hearing most of the conversation, Allastor stepped into view behind his friend. "Hello there, Prudence!" He waved with a wide grin before clasping a hand on Pip's shoulder. "'Ello Pip..." He looked at Prudence. "So...seeing as I've heard this whole conversation...whats going to keep ME quiet...Hmmmmmm...?" He chuckled a bit as he leaned on Pip like they'd been friends for years. His thoughts projected into Pip's mind :: What a fascinating conversation. How about we do a little team work, and see if we can win a lot more than she usually would offer...What do you say, pal?:: Allastor's eyes revealed a sly twinkle.

'Bonne pensée mon ami!' he thought with a Cheshire grin 'I was just going to ask for a kiss but .... I would love to see what de fille can dish out .... count me in!' Apparently Pip wasn't the only sly dog around Hellsing ....
