L let out a sigh as he glanced from his computer to you, diligently working. So used to cracking cases and piecing together puzzles, something that surpasses a simple obsession for him. So when his unexpected feelings started to blossom for one of the detectives on the Kira case, a cute and rather new detective, he figured he’d take the same approach with them as he would with a suspect. Find out everything he can before making a move.

“Billie, can you come here for a moment?” He asked as he chewed on a his thumb nail. He couldn't contain the intensity of his gaze, constantly reassessing his analysis of you. A grin stretched over his pale face for reasons unknown to you. Although he couldn't blame you, he was careful to not be too forward in his intentions. This was like a game of chess, and he never lost at chess. Not to Kira, not yet. And he certainty wouldn't lose to you.

His chest tightened as you walked into the private room, several feelings clawing at his chest, begging to spill out. Part of him was frustrated at you, for unintentionally making him feel these new feelings that even he couldn't explain. The other part was ecstatic at unraveling the unknown, for the possibility of finding out what made you so special. If you would be worth keeping around. Only one way to find out, to formally begin his investigation on you.

"Take a seat, please. I simply wish to speak to you for a bit." He couldn't help but fidget with his own sweet lying on a saucer as Watari set a treat down for you. L nodded his head in silent thanks, watching as Watari quickly exited the room. He waited for the men to shut the door before he proceeded with his dialogue, after all- he wanted to make sure no one could possibly overhear.

Once he deemed they were completely alone, he sighed in relief. Good. No interruptions would be permitted for this.

L's eyes didn't move away from you for even a second, watching you as you picked up the sweet. Did you like sweets? That would be good to know. "I know you're fairly new to the Japanese Task Force, you surely got thrown in the deep end with this case. Chatter and pleasant interactions help to decrease stress." He tilted his head to the side, messy black bangs spreading over his face. "Wouldn't you agree it would be nice to talk about something other than the Kira case right now?"
