Amy couldn't hide the smirk this time. It wasn't really a humorous one. If she could look at herself from the outside, she would have realized that she was doing the exact same thing her father did so frequently, what she had just accused Dame of doing. But she wasn't exactly in the right mind to think, or feel, critically about anything.
"No, it's okay. I don't think it's public knowledge... at least not at MW. I've gotten used to him not wanting to..."
She sighed and shook her head. She focused back on just the main point.
"Well, in your opinion, do you think this is a good idea? Or, do you think I, being who I am, could jeopardize his position at MW? I mean think about it. He probably didn't want to tell anyone at MW about us because deep down, he knows that our relationship would hurt his job."

*scratches his chin, tilting his head slightly* I do not see how it could jeopardize his position unless you were keeping him from performing his duties. In which case, it would not be because he is dating you jhal rather that he is not performing the task which he was hired to do. Given that the restaurant is not the busiest of places from what I have witnessed, I doubt ves mzilt that even in the case of him making few appearances in the kitchen, as long as everything continues to run smoothly while there are customers, then he should be fine. Of course, I am no longer in a position of authority there, so I cannot say for certain if that is the case, rilu'oh I have not heard any complaints about him.
Is it really that he does not want to tell anyone about your relationship or is it that he just has not found an appropriate time to do so? I, for one, certainly know what it is like for your romantic partner to deny your relationship.. *sighs* ... rilu'oh there are also times in which it would seem rather.... how you say... "pretentious", xas? I know that seems the opposite of what you were thinking and I may have gotten the wrong word sweatdrop Rilu'oh it is not necessary to announce to everyone your relationship unless it has some sort of relevance to the conversation. To suddenly announce it with no reason other than to make sure that everyone knows about and acknowledges it can at times come off as boastful, depending on the situation.
I know using my relationship with Quortek may not be of the best examples since for a while he really was trying to hide our relationship, jhal after he was no longer concerned if people knew about us or not, he did not try to announce to everyone that we had indeed become intimately involved. It was just discovered gradually by those around us, either when we were seen together or if the subject arose during casual conversation. Similarly, I did not make it a point to tell everyone about our relationship either unless I was asked or the subject was relevant.

"Of course I'm not keeping him from his duties. Hell, I transfigured his costume for this past weekend's party. It's just... Look, again, I don't exactly respond in ways that the MW Ladies like. I like the color pink, I like cute things, I smile a lot. I drink occasionally but not all the time, I have smoked weed many times, I'm nice one minute and the next I can get very bristly. I don't fear them and I don't suck up to them though I tried to be respectful until I was pushed too far. I don't fit in a nice little box that can be labeled. I came into MW giving the wrong impression. I made it seem like I let people push me around, but usually I don't. Just because I'm nice does not mean I'm a push over."
She sighed and ran a hand through her hair. "So that is why I think Karrie's job could be in jeopardy or why he might think it is by being with me. I don't exactly follow their rules or what they like. And don't try to tell me that they haven't tried to get people out of their bar that they haven't liked before. What if that extended to Karrie just because he's associated with me? I mean, not right now, but in the future if we got more serious."
She took a sip of her lemonade, wincing slightly as she realized that it was very watered down now that the ice had melted, and then continued.
"And it's not that I want him to announce to everyone that we're dating. But hell, even you didn't know Ryzan. I know you say that you haven't been paying that much attention lately, but you almost always are the first to know who's dating who. And it's not even so much about the romantic relationship. It's about how I'm not sure either of us think it's a good idea for many to know that we're as close as we are, even as friends. I can't speak for Karrie. I just worry for him sometimes..."
Her dad's words from the other day flashed in her mind and she frowned slightly.
"Usually this would be the time that I would have hightailed it out of here. Actually, I would have done it long before now, but I can't do it now. I won't do that to Karrie, not after what he went through with Dame. And I do love him. It's just..."
She sighed and shook her head. "This is stupid. It's not accomplishing anything. I'm still right back at square one. All I seem to do sometimes is talk. And you're the one person who, like you said, can relate to me on this, about the significant other not being open about your relationship. And still, it's not going to change anything."
