omg yes that would certainly be hard, but yeah, YES AND is the best rule of thumb. Hmm, maybe with different context or stakes, it would be easier to find the beats of the conversation, to find his voice for this kind of thing?? lol my first (tired!brain, but still kinda funny) thought is a modern au, like Nikolai: How long have you been sleeping with Boris? Valery: That’s disgusting. And wrong. I don’t even get– why would– I’ve never had sex with anyone, anywhere. It’s none of your- you have- the nerve, the audacity, Ben is my boss, technically. And he is terrible, face-wise. And how- how- do I know, frankly, that you’re not sleeping with him? Maybe you are. Maybe you’re trying to throw me off? Hmm check and mate.
I'm so glad other people think there's something to this! I'll def keep working on it :D!
