[ It's early in the month, not so long after the markings, that Stephen needs something from Silco. Nothing much. Nothing big. Just information.

And perhaps more hands to help him tie a knot and tighten it. ]

Saber. He's also on your staff, yes?

Do you like him?

[powerhungry]

Why do you ask?

[ Notably not a yes. ]

[rehandle]

Because I need to know if it's worth asking the rest of my questions, or if you're going to obfuscate the way you seem to like to.

Then let me put it like this: rudeness and arrogance aren't traits I find endearing, and the fact that you can use a dictionary and he can't doesn't exempt you from the rule.

[ Wow. Any other day he'd have to acknowledge the slam dunk. Today, loathe to accept the comparison but wearing a shoe that fits, his questions die on the vine. Nothing back for a long time, Stephen distracted first by another conversation, then by a photo, then another. After that he's busy issuing a summons that can't be ignored.

He atones in the morning.

[ And with that, his support ticket's closed. ]
