He finally realizes the predicament he's in. Putting his hands up, he slowly backs away with me following his every move.
"Hey now Astra, let's be reasonable here for a minute."
"Hmmm, I don't think so."
"Wait wait wait just a minute. Let's take some time to think about all of this and hear me out."
"Ok, I'm all ears."
While he reasons with me, I decide I'm going to do a sneak attack. I just need to wait for the right moment.
"You can't kill me."
"Why not?"
"Because I'm your boss."
"That's it?"
"Is there any other reason?"
"I don't know you're the one who's trying to do the convincing. You tell me."
"Well, there's also the fact that you consider me a friend."
"Okay. Thought about it and weighed the consequences."
"I'm glad you're being reasonable."
"Oh yes. I've never been more reasonable in my life."
With that, I lock my fingers around his wrist so he can't escape and start to swat him with my free hand.
