Instantly, Reynard clicked his tongue and shook his head in disagreement. "Of course not. Why would I think that? I'm not so delusional, am I?" He looked at Eames, the very face of sincerity, going with what he felt was true, so that he'd be more believable. he was a good enough liar to appreciate the power truth could hold. "An impulse is making me want to act as if I possess you. It's a play at something, as simple as that. I like to play at a lot of things. Why, the other day, I played at being injured, in order to avoid being injured far worse. I almost got away with it entirely unscathed too."
He shrugged, an almost bashful smile on his face. "Sometimes I pretend to be weaker than I am. Sometimes stronger. Often I pretend to be more innocent... And so, sometimes, an impulse might lead me to pretend to have you. Don't you know what it does to me, your scent mixed with mine? I wish you'd let me show you, it might get to your head to."
"Pretending isn't trying to mark me because you saw me speak to somebody else." Eames isn't one to raise his voice when he's angry, if anything his voice is quieter, pointed and sharp. That doesn't stop people taking notice, but he's decided he doesn't care, shoulders square and focus entirely on Reynard.
It's not that he doesn't get it-- he's a fox, he's a predator, blah blah blah. But he's also a person, and being a person means sometimes you have to curb your instincts, control yourself once in a while. Maybe don't be an obnoxious hypocrite to someone who adores you.
