GUESS TWO CAN PLAY AT THAT GAME XD
Robert didn't quite know how to respond to her rather verbose introduction, nor how to react at her insistence that she was the Little Mermaid, seemingly straight out of the VHS tapes his mother made him watch. Given that she happened to have a fish tail, he had trouble finding a reason to gently break her of the idea that she might be a fictional character. He wisely kept his mouth shut on that angle for now.
Unlike the way Robert normally was, he didn't flinch or try to twist his way out of the Mermaid's amorous grasp. Mostly because it was much easier to pretend that this entire event wasn't happening rather than acknowledging that something weird was going on and he might be the cause. Either way, as the elevator shuddered and began to crank its way up, he took the time to glance around, eying every corner and wondering if there were cameras present but no one could see them on purpose. Suspicious. He was distracted at the slight pain in his arm from her holding on and the strange compliment she offered him. "Thanks, I think," he responded. "Wait, you say I smell like gingerbread?"
