"Just ask me if I want to go. I know you're used to telling people what to do and they do it, but if you want to make nice with me then you're going to have to realize I won't just do whatever you say because you say it. Ask me if I want to go to the party."

"And if I had asked you to leave with me this morning?" he asked knowing that showering and appearing like a composed executive wasn't high on Lyra's priority list.
"Look Lyra, I get that you won't do what I say. Neither of us would be here if you did what I said. You're stubborn and annoying and for some reason the fates have decided that we are to be in each other's lives. I make no apologies or pretenses for the way I am. But I won't change who I am to make nice with you, nor will I grovel. This entire day has been for your benefit. I don't care to go to the bloody party, your desire is implied in the going."

Lyra looked down at her hands as he asked about this morning. She was a different person this morning than she was now. Julian had inadvertently made her into a pathetic, whimpering mess. The girl standing in Milan now was embarrassed of her behavior, embarrassed that she had spent several days sitting in the same shirt and crying over a man.
She looked up through her eyelashes at him. They were both stubborn, and Lyra found Nicolas to be just as annoying as he found her. It would make for an interesting friendship.

Nik laughed. "Come to the party with me Lyra, I already spent hours on getting you presentable." he teased her.
Interesting friendship indeed.

It was as close as Lyra would get with him. At least it had been a request this time in place of the command he had used earlier. Lyra smiled. She really did want to go.
"Alright," she said as if she was doing him a favor instead of the other way around. "But I'm going to continue to be stubborn and annoying, just so you don't get any weird ideas that I might like you."

"Likewise sweetheart." he said acknowledging their mutual dislike love/hate relationship. He wore a trademark smirk that said they were going to be fine.

Lyra rolled her eyes, a smirk of her own playing on her mouth. She found Nicolas to be frustrating but she was surprised by how much she enjoyed their back and forth.
Lyra followed him as they made their way to the after party, excited to get to see yet another side of the industry in which she was feeling so at home in.
