[ Vero is thirsty but not at all smooth. Sometimes things just slip out his mouth before he can stop it.
That being said, there's no way out of this now that he's said it. He's clearly been flirting with Fred so he doesn't want to take it back and make the man think he's just been doing all this for kicks or, worse, to make fun of him. (Although he doesn't know what he'd do if Fred took his advances seriously either.) So he has to own up to it. Go with it. Somehow.
Vero sits up straighter in his chair.] Yeah. You're really attractive, Sir Frederickson. I don't flirt with just anyone.
[ .......okay, but now that he's said it, he can feel heat prickling up his neck in embarrassment.]
I have to go now. Thanks for, uh, seeing me.
[And he bolts.
Vero's the same in class after that. Still snappy and argumentative. He still slips flirts and innuendo into his debates now that he thinks Fred will be much more aware of it. The only thing he hasn't done is approach Fred directly except for legitimate questions about class. Maybe he's letting Fred make the next move or maybe he just spooked himself. Either way, the ball is in Fred's court now.]
