Oh, Creators. This is flirting. This is a thing that's happening. And more surprising, is that he's flirting back at her. At least, she thinks that's what's happening? Apparently, she hadn't managed to make a complete fool of herself, so at least she has that going for her. Now she just has to respond without fucking that up.

"I think I'll manage not to be overly distracted." Is that too neutral? "...I wouldn't complain, either way." Nailed it. "...If it's all the same to you, I'll probably be keeping mine on, though."

There's a certain awareness that she is definitely overthinking this, and normal people probably don't spend this much time worrying over verbal communication. They just...think of something to say, and say it. Lucky bastards.

"I'll save my bow for archery, then. But if you think I can do the staff-work, I'd be willing to try it. At the least, if I can't do it now, I'll be able to practice." She can...probably fit that into her schedule, somewhere. Maybe she needs to start thinking more seriously about getting a secretary.
