Okay. [. . .] I would rather you guys think about stuff and plan instead of rushing ahead anyway. No point in a contingency plan if it could fall apart before it comes to fruition, you know? Take whatever time you want. Not like we're going anywhere.
[He makes a face at them not unlike the face he had been making at Orion when he was getting apologized to before. He can't STAND when people are decent to him. Come ON. Where is the IRRITATION? The DISAPPOINTMENT? He knows how those work!! He expects those!]
Then maybe I don't get it. [they think they do though.] But I think there's a difference between people paying attention to the things you do and paying attention to you in general.
actually sort of makes a face here, like he’s offended. Like he doesn’t know whether to agree or disagree with this. He opens his mouth, but what comes out instead of words are lilac petals.
Okay then. [and they just? stop talking? they seem to be glancing around the bar, picking at one of their gloves uncertainly. they also don't immediately start talking again so jason can lead now. ]
no subject
and aquarius seems to think.]
Then don't make them. You signed a contract and your addendum, but nothing's forcing you to actually do extra. So why bother thinking about it?
[they are maybe just pushing buttons to see how jason answers, curious about his thoughts. are you looking for action, or just to bitch?]
no subject
[He looks like he very much doesn't like the conditions of these deals, but he also knows SOME people are on the line.]
I'll think about it, I said.
[HE'S TRYING NOT TO CONCEDE WHILE CONCEDING.]

Why do you care so much?
no subject
[the. tone almost sounds a little petulant suddenly. but then they continue.]
A job is a job, and guests are guests. It's part of my job to know how to appease guests within the means of my employment.
no subject
[He will just SAY IT. Don't sound petulant, you little punk. He's the petulant one here.]
Don't try using your job's obligation as cover. I said I pretend to be stupid, not that I am.
no subject
Fine. It doesn't change much of what I said anyway. Is it weird in general, or because it's directed at you?
[they will also just say it? jason you fool.]
no subject
Maybe.
[he does not clarify]
no subject
no subject
I'm used to people paying attention to me.
[Too much. BRUCE.]
no subject

no subject
[He is probably defensive because they are correct actually.]
What, going to lecture me about the gun? Not making friends?
no subject
no subject
[He waves a hand.]
It wasn't one of you. Someone just said something like they were trying to read me. It was funny.
no subject
Were they even close?
no subject
[He is such a brat.]
If I say no does that make me a liar? Of course I’m going to say no.
no subject
You never know though. Some people might even say yes if you ask right.
no subject
[He actually doesn’t seem put-out, almost like he expected it. He is just fussy.]
no subject
[just. very chill and matter of fact here. ]

He coughs them up on the table. Very hygienic.]
no subject
...you can tell me I'm wrong if you want. [nonplussed. a little intrigued, slightly cautious.]
no subject
He takes it, but only to uses it to sweep the petals off the table and away. Goodbye forever. He doesn't want to cough up more stupid flowers, so:]
You're wrong.

no subject
Damn, cat got your tongue already? [JASON IS TERRIBLE AT SMALL TALK.] If you want to order something, go ahead.
no subject
Okay at guest relations, terrible at small talk. I'll think about it. [they seem to be at a loss for what to order.]
Let's start over. You want information right? What other questions do you have that maybe I can answer?
