[ thanks, Hiro. :| ]

Why would you think otherwise?

[dendarii]

Because you're you. Just a bit shifty, I'd say.

[brushoff]

Just a bit? I might need to work on that! But yes, I've been nothing but honest with you in our conversation.

[dendarii]

And yet you have larger things to hide, I'm sure. As I did.

[brushoff]

The difference, however, is you're not the one hiring me.

[dendarii]

Well, no. But neither do I accept all clients. Some level of trust is required.

[brushoff]

Has it annoyed you THAT MUCH that I don't trust you? Perhaps I should take my business to the Musketeers—at least they manage to put personal biases aside.

[dendarii]

If my identity were really an issue, you'd have gone to them in the first place. What's your real issue, Dorian? Or are you just looking to negotiate from a stronger position.

[brushoff]

If you think I have an ulterior motive, you're more paranoid than I thought.

[dendarii]

It's healthy to cultivate a small amount of it, you know.

I concede the point on not being particularly tall, perhaps. But height isn't everything.

[brushoff]

I don't feel any need to penalize your entire organization just because I don't trust you. Hence, why I requested someone else.

[dendarii]

Surely myself and someone else would be no different.

[brushoff]

If that's the case, I wouldn't have asked for someone else to begin with.

[dendarii]

[ Ugh. He hates this. Just when he'd been getting used to this place not caring about his physical drawbacks ... It stings his pride very fiercely to be actively excluded like that. ]

... As you prefer. You are the client.

[brushoff]

Damn right I am.

[ victoryyyyyy ]

Will you be making the selection from the staff yourself?

[dendarii]

As I said. I'll provide you with a narrowed list, and you can select from there.

[ Except he'll totally cheat and make sure Tex goes so that he can watch via video. ]

[brushoff]

In that case, I await your list.

[dendarii]

I'll send it over shortly.

[brushoff]

All the better.
