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...

[shaft]

[ pay no attention to the jail... ]

Because you don't enjoy it?

[guestservices]

Not typically.

[shaft]

What do you prefer then?

[guestservices]

[ they

seem very surprised by this question

and are quiet for a long moment? ]

... I suppose I don't mind meditation...?

[shaft]

[ oh! he perks up. ]

Me too. I practice every morning. I tried to help Dimitri with it, with little success...

[guestservices]

[ oh!!! they do too. ]

...Really? I can picture it.

[shaft]

The part about me, or the part about Dimitri struggling?

[guestservices]

[ that gets orion to laugh, ducking their head. ]

Both.

[shaft]

[ he grins ]

Yeah. Most people don't pin me as the meditative type though.

[guestservices]

Is that on purpose?

[shaft]

Do you think I'm deceptive?

[guestservices]

It was just a question...

[shaft]

I'm not bothered.

I don't try to be difficult to read, but I guess it's just second nature by now.

[guestservices]

Mm. With where you came from, perhaps it's a necessity...?

[ Fodlan your Political Problems ]

Rather, I think that you seem to be quite thoughtful, Mr. Von Riegan.

[shaft]

You're very generous. I should've spoken to you much earlier, Orion.

[guestservices]

[ orion gives a little bow of their head. ]

That's kind of you - thank you. I've found our conversation to be fairly enjoyable as well, all things considered.

[ claude's not a lady but he's alright, i guess :/ ]

[shaft]

Next time I'll dream of something more scenic, and we can enjoy the peace together.
