[salaryman]

You're right... and what a terrible thing that would be.

[hallowedly]

This is a marathon, not a race. You want your wits about you.

[salaryman]

But if I became terrified and useless... you'd help me, right?

Or at least help me so I don't bother my other coworker, yes?

[hallowedly]

...are you trying to extract my good will?

[salaryman]

[ ....... ]

No.

[hallowedly]

Good. I prefer honest interactions.

[salaryman]

Then I hope I always come off as honest with you.

[hallowedly]

I hope you never make me wonder.

[salaryman]

I'm sure you never will wonder.

[hallowedly]

Don't give her what she wants. If you still take advice.

[salaryman]

I don't intend to... but I do intend to give some worship.

There are some very odd people giving some very judgemental stares.

[hallowedly]

I'm afraid your new belle isn't particularly popular. Are you sure you can weather the storm of her public scrutiny?

[salaryman]

She may not be popular, but I'm worried about her irritation.

What is that about a woman scorned?

[hallowedly]

They'll hunt you down to avenge their cute brothers?

[salaryman]

Who's to say?

[hallowedly]

I said it.

[salaryman]

Fair, fair...

I suppose they might? I am not too worried about that but I think I should give up something just to uphold my flirting of before.

[hallowedly]

In other words, you haven't burned your hand yet, so why not play with more fire?

[salaryman]

I suppose that's right.

If I get into enough good graces, I hope to be able to bring back some information. I've never played a double agent before so I'm afraid I only know how to do this based on movies.

[hallowedly]

What compels you?

[salaryman]

Curiosity.

Is it all right to ask what compels you to do anything?

[hallowedly]

What are you hoping for? 'Duty'? 'Boredom'?

[salaryman]

Hmmm, just an answer would be fine.

I feel no matter the reason... I feel I'll still be surprised.

[hallowedly]

Habit. The simple habit of being alive.

[salaryman]

Habit of being alive?
