[She’s quiet for a moment, letting the silence linger. The one between them anyway, the other people making their wishes are probably quiet, but there’s still a lot of chatter going on in the lines. And then the neutral expression on her face changes, lips curling into a smile, a giggle breaking into that awkward quietness. It doesn’t make things better, she knows, but she can’t help it. And it builds a little before she starts talking.]
I’m sorry, this is such a change, it’ll take me some time to get used to it.
[Give her a moment to regain her composure.]
It’s not a change I particularly care for it, but it is funny.
[That’s a little more pointed, there’s some bite to those words. There’s no one here she hasn’t been willing to humor, to put on a polite face with, but this gets some open scorn. Not too much, but enough to be visible.]
That said, there is some sense in limiting collateral damage. Still, this deal seems pretty one-sided, you’re getting what you want and I’m not getting anything out of it. That doesn’t seem fair…so let’s change that, I’ve got one condition and in this case, I think a deal would be stronger than a promise anyways.
