[ktiseos]

I should hope it is not a professional requirement.

[guestservices]

It might be.


[ the energy of waggling eyebrows ]

[ktiseos]

For what purpose-!

[AQUILA.]

[guestservices]

[ there's a beat. ]

Building professional relationships.


[ the way they say this like completely seriously. yet, somehow, it becomes immediately obvious that they are just screwing around. ]

[ktiseos]

I believe that is generally considered highly unprofessional, in fact.

[he says, dry, matching their seriousness.]

[guestservices]

Oh, you have no idea how unprofessional I can be.


[ bad, actually ]

[ktiseos]

Mayhap not. I am, however, thoroughly unsurprised.

[guestservices]

's rude.

[ they laugh, though, clearly not actually offended. ] I'm a fucking professional. [ as they down the rest of their wine. ]

[ktiseos]

Yes, yes, so you have insisted before.

[a slight wave of his hand, careful of his glass.]

I suppose I will believe you can be professional on duty-- though I wonder if you are ever off duty.

[guestservices]

Oh, never.

[ they wave their free hand, the movement graceful. ] Always something to be done around here.

[ktiseos]

Always? One should think you have at least some moments to yourself.

[guestservices]

Wow, and here I thought you'd be impressed with my workaholic tendencies.

[ they put a hand on their heart!

but then shake their head. ] You'd think so though, right. But nope.

[ktiseos]

Even I know one cannot work every hour of every day, not indefinitely.

Or so they should not, at the least. Your employer certainly expects much.

[guestservices]

Yeah. What's it called? Someone said we should unionize.

[ they laugh, waving it off. ] 's alright. Maybe if I get breaks, I'll come spend em with you.

[ktiseos]

[what's a union. anyway.]

-well. Should you get them, I suppose you may do as you wish with your time.

[guestservices]

[ they don't know either

they laugh, though, turning to face emet properly where they're settled. on the corner of the bed. ]

You can definitely count on that. [ and raise their glass. ]

[ktiseos]

[after another pause-- he raises his glass to them, in turn.]

I shall, then. I'll expect you to remember it.

[guestservices]

[ they reach out and clink their glass with emet's. ]

Deal.

You're not my only favorite, though, yeah? [ teasing ] I'm a pretty busy bird.

[ktiseos]

Oh? Then who else has earned your favor?

[he arches a brow, taking another sip. it's great that he's so big he's not feeling this At All.]

[guestservices]

Jealous?

[ they also do not seem to be feeling the booze very much, at least, as they're topping the two of them off. ]

[ktiseos]

Simply curious.

[he shrugs one shoulder, there.]

[guestservices]

Most of the people here suit me fine. I like people.

[ absently, as they run a finger around the rim of their glass. ] Lup's fun. Mollymauk is, too. Tieflings're always fun. Estelle's a sweetheart.

[ktiseos]

Of course you would get along with him.

[he mutters, as he takes a drink.]

...I suppose I do not object to any of them.

[guestservices]

[ oh amused. ]

Glad we've got the same taste. [ like, very amused. ] Sounds like you like a certain kind of person, though, so it's not surprising.

[ktiseos]

A certain kind of person tends to insist upon bothering me.

[huffs.]

I enjoy Harrowhark's company, as well.
