[Elektra leans back slightly. She sits up so straight normally it's a barely noticeable gesture. This won't be the first or last time she hears an offer like this. Her answer is clearly rehearsed.] I have no use for a partner. If he wishes to request my assistance on a case by case basis, should I find the job acceptable, I may be willing to accept it.
[Her curiosity gets the better of her so she asks more naturally.] What is it you don't like? [Elektra thinks she knows, but it is never wise to assume what's on the mind of a drunken man.]
[Elektra notices, of course. This is what she's best at; reading others and determining how to deal with them if she needs to. It's why she's one of the deadliest women on Earth.] Your body tells a different story. I doubt whoever you are working for would send you unless you were worthy of working with me.
[She adds after a brief moment.] Unless perhaps they would not mourn the loss of you. [It's a gamble. She never hesitates to kill anyone. (Except for innocents. A fact she keeps to herself because it so rarely comes up when you pick your own jobs.)]

He grimaces] I wouldn't be your partner. I'm not...that's not what I do.
[Lies, it's probably pretty easy to see he has some fighting skill in the way he moves and looks. Still.]
What don't I like about what? these?
[He runs a hand over his wrist] Or about the wine? I've drunk too much.

And yes that. I can taste the wine myself.
