He walked beside her as they made their way toward the seating area and was just a tad too slow in pulling out a chair for her because she was already sitting. Apparently William had rattled him just a little.

Oliver was just taking the seat opposite her when she asked that question. Of course she was going to ask that. "Well." He said, heaving a deep sigh and casting a quick glance towards William who was now on the dance floor. "It seems that Will has a problem with me talking to you. Apparently I am going to, hmm what were his words again? Oh yeah, I'm going to string you like a guitar, play you like a fiddle and then leave you like a fool." He tried to smile at her but it came out like a grimace. He wasn't going to deny that he had actually done that to a few women in his time.

"I'll admit that I like to flirt and I like to charm, that's just the way I am, but I don't take advantage of anyone." Regardless of what his friend thought, he was always up front about his intentions. "I find you attractive January, I won't deny that but I was merely just talking to you. I honestly have no ulterior motives." This was a work function and he knew how to behave. Besides he was not against getting to know a woman first. And January was a very interesting woman.

"If you want to leave now, I would totally understand."

January had a feeling that Oliver thought she was taking this situation worse than she actually was. In all honesty, she found it... well, funny. While he explained, she sat and listened patiently, occasionally sipping on her water and trying to hide any signs of amusement.

String her like a guitar, play her like a fiddle, leave her like a fool. January raised her eyebrows at this and wondered if William had said those exact words or if Oliver was... paraphrasing. "Interesting," she murmured. And that was all she had to say about that for the time being.

Her observational skills had picked up that Oliver liked to flirt, but flirting didn't always mean anything, so the news that he found her attractive was new. January merely nodded for a moment as he finished his explanation with his understanding if she wanted to leave.

... and then she laughed. Not a huge, loud laugh. Just a small, amused, contained laugh. "I'm not going to leave a party just because you flirted with me and then got yelled at by your best friend for it." That would be ridiculous and shallow and just... dumb.

"I don't know about the rest of the women in your life, nor do I need to, but I am fully capable of taking care of myself, so whatever William is worrying about, it's rather pointless. Considerate, but pointless." She was a tough girl. She had experience in this whole 'life' thing and some guy flirting with her and potentially leaving her 'like a fool' wasn't going to break her ~~iron~~ heart.

Also, "Thank you." For finding her attractive. She also found him attractive, but she couldn't really say that because... she didn't know... how. January just smiled at him from across the table, her hands clasped on the table in front of her. Interesting turn of events, this was.
