You know, we have a lot of really talented people here. Not that we didn't before -- us imports have always been pretty on top of things, but I think it goes without saying that without the talent and skill of everyone, there'd probably be a few of us that would be dead right about now. Or at least we'd have died. So, I don't think anyone's said it yet, but thanks, to everyone who helped get us out of there.
[ And there's a pause there, he's trying to be nice, and his ego is suffering. ]
I'd like to say we could have done it ourselves, but... well, you can't always predict for unpredictability, and getting us quickly could have been what saved our lives.
But, that's not the only reason I'm here. It's been a busy couple of weeks, not just from our unfortunate attempt to go to space, but for me personally. [ He indicates behind him, it's obviously an office, more strewn with metal and wires and parts than anything else. It's, frankly, an absolute mess. ] I got the loan a few weeks ago, but other than a few people I've gotten in on the ground floor, we haven't had much opportunity for hiring. Startups are always complicated.
But I'm happy to say, that if you want to work in tech and R&D, you should probably come talk to me. I can't promise high wages -- yet -- but I take care of my people, and with a few choice inventions, we'll be able to hit the ground running, and I'd like to see anyone with talent come talk to me. I promise, you won't regret it.
At least, you won't if you don't mind working for me.

[ he gives a faint shrug of his shoulders. ]
But I've another question, actually. You weren't the one calling me an alien, were you? You know, series of movies, chestbursters, all that.

No, we're nothing like that.

Guess our worlds are more different than we thought.

Most likely. I'll tell David. [ read: I'm going to shove that in David's face until he likes me. ]
Er ...
[ brief pause, like he's a bit unsure what to say for just a hot minute. ]
... You were there, weren't you?

Getting off lightly doesn't mean really put in perspective how you've fared.
[ you can distract yourself all you want Skye, he is the master of wordplay and he's not letting you get away with this one. ]
PRIVATE.
[That's it. That's the whole reply. Probably the most abrupt she's ever been.]
PRIVATE.
[ for his own sanity.
he turns his head a bit, and comes somewhat close to looking exasperated but he doesn't. ]
Let me know if you're in need of a distraction.
[ he knows how this goes, and he knows that it delves into some terrible coping mechanisms, but he was never one to discourage the lies told to save yourself. ]
PRIVATE.
[She's already made enough bad decision boyfriends. She doesn't need to encourage this flirtation with Loki, too. Better to distance herself.]
PRIVATE.
[ he's not going to protest someone coping. ]
Though I am still curious as to what you find. It affects everyone in more ways than one.
