I think Bond's default is flirting. I felt like he was basically anger!flirting when he met Silva for the first time and that really wasn't the time for flirting either.

True. Though, to be fair, Silva started it, I think.

Nope, avoided that like the plague. Stuck to dialogue via communicators only. Not even doing expressions!

Hee! I'm picturing Bond standing in a dark room speaking with a blank face but animated voice.

I could switch over to Q, I suppose, but...it doesn't have the same oomph. I guess I'll just hack away at it. I have same problem as I do when I narrate with Sherlock--he sees everything in such crisp, clinical detail that I feel like I'm writing a lab report more than a story.
