[ they tilt their head. ] Well. You guys are pretty creative. We can sometimes cut deals for you doing certain things, but, the deals sort of have to be in the spirit of the hotel. Y'know? Everything has to have a justification.
I mean, if someone goes on one of those adventures and dies because they got stabbed somewhere life threatening and we don't have enough to stabilize them before you guys can get here to heal them... They're not going to be able to entertain your boss anymore, right?
If it was something that replenished only once a week, or only enough to help one or two people at a time... It'd be funny for him to watch us try to pick out who to help, right?
Well, the reasoning you just gave wouldn't really work if you did it for a lot of them. Why upgrade them, then? Wouldn't having smaller ones be better? More, y'know, suffering.
Right... I just offered that because you mentioned upgrading the ones in the gift shop as a whole. Would that not be possible?
[thinking, thinking.]
Maybe we could upgrade half of them, and that way nobody who buys them knows whether they're going to get one that replenishes on its own, or just one of the normal ones. I bet if they hear the kits got better and then they got a normal one, they'd be pretty angry.
So. Upgrade the medkits that are currently in our stock, but only upgrade half. Same price. For the reasoning that it might piss people off if they didn't know what they got, and... then what happens?
Then they start thinking that the people who got the better kits did something extra to earn them, and they're just not saying anything about it, even though it would help people if they explained...?

I figured you wouldn't be able to say anything. I guess I just... want to make sure you're okay.

[ warmer, again. ] 'm alright. Promise. I appreciate you asking, but really.

[even if it feels a little too raw for him to get into tonight.]

Promise. On my honor. [ a pause. ] Well, maybe that's not the best thing to put it on. Iunno. On my... uhhhh. On my coworkers. The ones I like.
[ wow. they're joking, though. maybe? ] I'll hold you to that, Rupert.

Sorry, bud. No can do. But, if you come up with something, we can talk about what might work or not.

How would you justify it relating to the contract?

Mmmm. That's not gonna work - you gotta think about it from his perspective, not yours. Something like that's way too flimsy.

Are you asking for one for yourself? Or upgrades for the ones we sell in the gift shop as a whole?
