"I could but what's the fun in that?" John retorted, knowing full well that she had a point. Tossing her book on the coffee table, he settled back and got comfortable. It wasn't like he was going to be back to his book any time soon. "You only say Alfred because it is the name of Batman's butler. Though Alfred is pretty much my reason to watch Batman movies. Oh, except for Batman and Robin. Alicia what's her name was hot." He said the last bit with a grin, resisting the urge to try and tickle the feet that lay in such close proximity. He had no idea why the urge to bother Sophie came so strong to him, but it wasn't something that was interfering with his job or day to day life, so he didn't really think too hard on the subject.
"Yeah, I'm with you. All this Bermuda Triangle stuff is a load of bull. Only the gullible believe those stories." He paused for a moment, as if thinking rather hard on something. "Which is why is it is weird that you don't believe in it wholeheartedly. You are the most gullible person I know." John laughed a bit at his own comment, amused by it even if Sophie wasn't. His hands came to rest lightly on her feet, not even noticing that he'd done as such. They'd known each other far too long for him to take notice of little things like that. At least in private. In public, he was the picture of professionalism. After all, it wouldn't do to have sordid stories circulating about what exactly Sophie Chevalier and her bodyguard were up to.
"What makes you think you can make me go swimming, hmm? I'm not quite as obedient as you may think I am." John said, knowing fairly well that was a lie. Mostly. There wasn't much that he refused to do when flat out asked by Sophie. Only the truly ridiculous things. And swimming didn't really make the list as one of them. But still, it was fun to pretend otherwise once in awhile. "Where is Sarah anyway?" John wondering, thinking it unusual that the other woman wasn't there with them. "Isn't she usually here, helping you go through four hundred outfits before you finally decide that the first one you tried on is the perfect one?"
