[after a moment, he nods.]

Okay. Point taken... I'll be careful.

[guestservices]

I suppose that is all we can ask of you at this time.

[agleam]

Well, if that changes and you need anything else... Are you able to let me know?

[guestservices]

I'm going to once again remind you that this is not about us...

[agleam]

Right, you keep reminding me it's about me, but I care about what you think and how you feel anyways.

[guestservices]

...for our benefit, or yours? [it's not even a rude question, they're just curious.]

[agleam]

Friendship usually benefits both people.

[guestservices]

Rupert. We cannot be friends. You understand, don't you?

[agleam]

Mhm. Yeah. Most of you keep saying that.

[guestservices]

And yet you continue to say things that make it seem as though you don't actually understand.

[agleam]

Understanding is different than agreeing.

[guestservices]

You don't have to agree to understand, I will give you that. But you could at least respect what someone is trying to tell you.

[agleam]

[...]

If it's something that could get you in trouble, I won't talk about it anymore.

[guestservices]

That would be most appreciated...

[agleam]

[after another moment, he nods.]

Okay. Understood.

[guestservices]

Thank you. [they do seem to relax a little, at least.]
