2. Character Is The Key
A sound character is the key to a long-lasting relationship. The most important and foremost aspect for a woman's liking to a man is his character. An honest, trustworthy and sincere man is always in demand in the feminine world.

"Honest?" Klavier looked at his notebook and groaned. "Trustworthy?"

How on earth would he incorporate that into their short meeting?

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

"Come in!" Gavin called when he heard the unmistakeable impatient knocking on his door. "Fraulein, do make yourself comfortable!"

"Pfft, I don't plan on staying fop." Came the blunt reply, but Klavier just grinned.

Ema stomped over to him (climbing carefully over the once-again messy floor) and dumped his reports on the stereo/desk, "accidentally" knocking his feet off it.

"Aww, why not?" Klavier asked, smiling playfully. "Come on, sit."

"There's nowhere to sit!"

"There's here…" The prosecutor patted his lap hopefully.

"GRR!" Ema puffed herself up to her full height. "As if I would trust you enough to sit there!"

Klavier looked up suddenly, a dangerous glint in his eye.

"You don't trust me, Detektiv? We can't have that. A lack of trust can be dangerous in a workplace, especially in our line of work."

"Shame." She growled, and smirked.

"I think we should rectify that, ja?" Klavier took a step forward.

"H-How?" Ema leant back, eyeing him warily.

"Fall back into my arms and I'll catch you. That'll make you trust me, right Fraulein?" He stepped up behind her and murmured into her ear, making her shift a little uncomfortably.

"What? No!" She protested, and tried to scramble away, but only succeeded in tripping over a pile of papers. The floor rushed up to meet her, and Ema squeezed her eyes shut, awaiting the pain that never came. Instead, she was pulled back into a arm chest, and quickly realising the situation, she slapped her boss's arms away.

"Hey!! Get off!" Ema rounded on him angrily. "I didn't ask you for help! It's you own stupid rubbish that made me trip in the first place!"

As Klavier watched her getting angrier and angrier he quickly tried to think of a way to salvage their meeting. Be honest. Honesty was one of the things mentioned on this week's step on the list.

But what could he be honest about?

What thing did women want men to be honest with them about? He could only think of one question.

So he opened his mouth and said one of the most stupid things he had ever said.

"No, your bum doesn't look big in that coat!"

Silence.

Klavier's brain caught up with his mouth. He gulped.

"WHAT THE HELL?! HOW IS THAT RELATED TO THE PREVIOUS CONVERSTION IN ANY WAY?!" Snackoos were suddenly flying at him in their millions. "Is that meant to be some smart remark?! You-You jerk!"

*SLAM*

The door crashed shut behind the raging woman before Klavier could do anything to try and make it better. He ran a hand through his fringe wearily.

Note to self : don't mention her bum.
