[ they tilt their head. ]

We've spoken quite a few times; he has earned my respect. Moreso than that, though, I believe I understand the way that he thinks, one way or another.

[shaft]

[ he smiles a little ]

I can see that. Obviously, I don't know you, but it seems to me like you two might get along.

[guestservices]

[ oh, they seem a little touched actually...? ]

...is that so? May I ask why?

[shaft]

[ orion cute... ]

You both seem. Hm. Like the honest, noble... straightforward type.

[guestservices]

[ they seem

a lot touched actually ]

... That's kind of you to say. [ orion gives a little bow of their head. ] Thank you, Mr. Von Riegan.

[shaft]

[ immediately assigns orion baby

he just smiles ]

You handle compliments with a lot more grace though.

[guestservices]

[ stop ]

I like to think that I am someone who deserves compliments, though, I do think Mr. Blaiddyd is the same.

[shaft]

Perhaps you should compliment him so he can grow accustomed to it.

[ is this... a ship...??? ]

[guestservices]

[ is it, spoon

they laugh, a little - something about that is a little amusing. ]

I feel as though it wouldn't do very much. This conversation was about the two of you, wasn't it?

[shaft]

[ no i just remembered both orion and dimitri prefer women ]

Ah, well. I didn't actually come here to talk about Dimitri.

I wanted to ask about Flayn... she doesn't seem to be with the rest of us who died.

[guestservices]

[ oh. they're quiet, then; their demeanor softens a little further, folding their hands gently in their lap. ]

... She's not, no. [ but that's all they have to say about that. ]

[shaft]

I suppose... You don't know or can't say anymore about where she is?

[guestservices]

[ a little shake of their head. ]

I'm sorry.

[shaft]

So she just... vanished?

[ his brows furrow ]

[guestservices]

As far as we know. Though - it would be best to ask Virgo, perhaps. The rest of us are unable to make true physical contact with the place that you are. They might be able to give more details.

[shaft]

That's pretty interesting, by the way. What's so different about Virgo...?

[guestservices]

It is just their duty - this place is their domain.

[shaft]

The rest of you don't have anything like that?

[guestservices]

The rest of us are allocated to the hotel.

[shaft]

So us poor dead schmucks are left without your impeccable service...

[guestservices]

[ a little wryly; ]

Unless you dream of it, I suppose.

[shaft]

This is just a chat! Are you feeling trapped here?

[guestservices]

I am here to comply with your requests, Mr. Von Riegan.

[ so they are here to chat ]

[shaft]

That really does make it sound like you're trapped...

[guestservices]

[ they glance at the jail bars

and kindly do not say anything. ]

... It is rare that others choose me to converse with of the staff, is all...
