If you feel like you were coerced then doesn't it make sense to focus more on your terms than on what my job is...?

[agleam]

I can multitask.

[guestservices]

Okay, well...multitask on something else. It's okay.

[agleam]

I think I'm pretty satisfied with my choices of what to divide my attention between.

[guestservices]

[there's just a very blank stare, probably. hard to say since there's a veil. rupert?]

[agleam]

Your face is covered, so you're going to have to tell me what look you're giving me right now.

[guestservices]

Exasperation, Rupert. I am exasperated.

[they like. don't sound upset though.]

[agleam]

I don't think it's a bad thing to want to get to know you!

[guestservices]

It is. [this is said almost automatically, but then they pause.] ...there's plenty of other people you should get to know instead of the staff that's only here to serve you.

[agleam]

I mean, it's not an either / or thing. It can be an and thing.

[guestservices]

[...a hand comes up under their veil and scrubs their face as they grumble to themselves.]

You're stubborn.

[agleam]

Yeah, definitely.

[at least he's self aware (?)]

[guestservices]

Why.

[muffled by their hand.]

[agleam]

...I'm not sure how to answer you on why a basic part of my personality is the way it is?

[guestservices]

You can make an attempt.

[agleam]

Because a lot of things matter to me...?

[guestservices]

[they finally drop their hand.]

...look, can we make a deal not to get too personal? I don't mind talking to you and I don't mind answering some of your questions about stuff here, but the rest isn't that important right now.

[agleam]

[a beat.]

I... will make an attempt to do that.

[maybe.]

[guestservices]

That's about all I can ask. So thanks.
