Cormac laughed at her answer. Color combinations and plate settings? "It's sounds... boring, honestly," he said with a grin, hoping he didn't offend her too much.
He snorted. "Secrets, yes, forgive me," he said with an amused smile. His smiled shifted into a smirk as he looked at her. "I think that you'd be good with arguments. You certainly know how to handle yourself when it comes to me. Or am I just a special case?" He nodded. "Yes, you are that much of a surprise. But it's a good surprise," he said sincerely.
He shrugged. "You say stubborn; I say strong-willed," he said, not quite conceding her point. "Then, I'm sexy, because I'm confident. I don't think I can be considered arrogant all of the time. I think everyone can be arrogant from time to time and I'm no exception. But I have more self-confidence than arrogant I think." He smiled, trying not to get offended. He actually sure if he was offended or not. He didn't really feel insulted. She hadn't called him an asshole or not.
