Who: OPEN
When: Day 37, Night
Where: all over

[It's a mingle]

Yes. They are.

[She feels very strongly about this, to be perfectly honest and though her voice remains calm and polite, there is an undeniable underlying firmness.]

[Looks at her curiously. That is a firmness to it.] Huh.

Is that why you don't like using names without formality?

No. I do that because I do not wish to be impolite.

[also distance is good]

Even when people say it's okay?

Even so. It is not proper to be so familiar from the outset.

And what constitutes the outset?

Being newly acquainted.

So are we at the point of just Dusk then?

I mean, you've literally had your hands in my chest now.

It is my duty to be useful, so that would not warrant a change of address. It is simply in my nature to be formal, at any rate.

[He's also pretty sure their acquaintanceship isn't even new.]

Well, I'd be fine with it. Not needing to be formal.

Duly noted, Dusk-han.

[that's a no, chief.]

I'll get you to admit we're strong acquaintances one day.

No. You will not.

[wtih deceptive firmness.]

Time changes all things.

No. Not all things.

What doesn't?

It does not matter, really. If you think they do, then that is fine.

Less think as more acknowledging the unavoidable progression of events and how things either change or stagnate into irrelevancy.

As you say.

[nah]

I believe I have taken up more than enough of your time.

I was the one who wanted to talk to you.

For what purpose?

Because I like your company.

[she waits

for a punchline]

...Is this a team bond?

No, I'm being serious.

Surely, you must be joking.
