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. ]
Some jobs you just fall into without needing to talk about your qualifications or prove yourself. You didn't exactly have an interview for your job, did you?

[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.

I'm used to people paying attention to me.
[Too much. BRUCE.]

[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.

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?
no subject
[Jason is a leo, but they will just vibe together at being terrible at small talk. Dick, where are you? Help.]
Most of the ones I have none of you will answer. [He glances away, thinking.] You ever met the Nightman in person?
no subject
No. Kinda keeps busy with other things and leaves us to general operations. Just like any other boss.
no subject
You didn't have an interview? Nightman really runs the shadiest business.
no subject
no subject
But you already knew that.
