RE: The Boss Man (Round 2)
"Well that isn't very fair, is it?" Ni remarked matter-of-factly, noticing the difference, "I wonder why you only hold yourself accountable for things that go wrong?" She continued to idly stroke the palm of his hand.
"You know, it takes a special person to lead in the first place. Not everyone can do it--" she laughed in spite of herself, "Like, can you imagine if I was in charge? I don't think a lot would get done." She sat herself up so that she could look directly in his eyes, "And leaders aren't expected to do all the work, they just help organize us toward a goal...Like when you told me to gather Intel with that sheriff. I never would have thought of that or done that on my own without your instruction. We are a team. Our victories are just as much our victories as our failures are our failures. You shouldn't have to bear our failures alone."
Ni cocked her head to the side and smiled. "You know, Boss Man, You don't give yourself enough credit. But I understand all too well that sometimes we just need to take a break from the heavy stuff. I'm not trying to tell you what you should do. I'm just suggesting that maybe you should cut yourself some slack, you know?" She smiled and, after a moment of studying him, bent down to kiss him gently.
