... Mr. Lehnsherr, you seem to have a less than sunny disposition in most manner of conversation.

I can't imagine it healthy.

[exothermia]

I don't see how my disposition is relevant right now.

[Not to someone he's had two conversations with, at least. Erik's not about to argue that he's perfectly cheerful elsewhere.]

[edwinjarvis]

I would think a disposition is relevant in any conversation.

... Of course, you seem to dislike conversation considerably.

[He is thoughtful, swimming along with a frown.]

Have I truly upset you that much with my presence?

[exothermia]

You overreached, in our last talk. And-- [This is the mildest of concessions] --perhaps it was because you were drunk. But I don't need someone offering to bake me things purely because of one comment.

[edwinjarvis]

[You've genuinely confounded him, Mr. Lehnsherr.]

Overreached?

... By offering food? I'm a butler and a cook in the bar you ventured into; I would be more concerned for my usual self if I didn't offer something, whether it be you or the lad who wandered in before or after you.

[exothermia]

[He has some unfathomable depths, okay.]

You turned it into some kind of contest when I said no.

[edwinjarvis]

... You declined quite rudely. [He quirks his eyebrow, not really sure where this is coming from. Do you need therapy for some hatred of grain he's unfamiliar with?] I've never seen someone so determined to evade bread in all of my days working.

Has someone smacked you upside the head with a loaf in your history?

Or perhaps pelted you with muffins?

[exothermia]

[He snorts indelicately.]

I'd be more offended by the waste of food if they had done so.

Let's not pursue the matter. I can see the village up ahead.

[edwinjarvis]

As you wish...

... though you should confront your fear of bread-rolls sooner or later.

[exothermia]

[He is not dignifying that with a response. Instead he pushes ahead, making broader strokes to bring the gurney into the village area.]
