As long as that stubbornness keeps you alive, I won't complain about it.

[outsidebones]

[she's quiet, stirring her lemon water a little.]

Whether you can say so or not, I do hope I have not disappointed you. The thought is nice, that I could at least talk to a friend about these things.

[guestservices]

[immediately:]

You haven't disappointed me. And, you can talk to me whenever you want about whatever you want. [...] I just - remember, I have a job to do, so I can't really be your friend.

[outsidebones]

[hmm.]

Well. I appreciate the reminder. Is that a condition of your employment, or is it intended as advice?

[guestservices]

It's - I'm hotel staff. You're a guest. The boss expects a certain amount of... separation between us.

[outsidebones]

Ah. [a bit of a rueful smile.] I don't intend to interfere with your duties. I understand that there are likely conditions of your employment that I may not like, and that you cannot show me favoritism in any way.

[guestservices]

[they nod]

I know you wouldn't interfere with anything. The problem is me, really. The reminder is as much for me as it is for you.

[outsidebones]

Understood. I only mean...it's alright. You will still be a friend to me even if you are not permitted to return the sentiment just now.
