Bond thought it a bit funny that Q would say he felt greedy when he kept
him at arm's length. Boundaries. Stolen kisses...clear desire but no trust.
Q may be flattered that he was wanted, but Bond wanted more.
Oddly enough, this was just the right carrot to dangle in front of him.
"You're serious," he realized. "That we three should come to some sort of
arrangement." He looked at Q, then at Harry, then back again. He found
himself in quite the spot. He was a selfish man and when forced to realize
this wasn't all about him...well, that hit him harder than any of Q's talk
about boundaries.
"All right then," he finally said, though it didn't quite sound like he was
agreeing. Just accepting.
