"Thank. YOU. Man, those nutjobs were INSANE. YOU sent them away? You rock. Just saying: thank you for coming to your senses." He'd been having nightmares about his interactions with them ever since. And now they were gone. Whewwwwwwwwwwhat a relief.
Anyway, back to eating. He raised an eyebrow at how eccentric the Undersecretary was...hadn't known that...but now found it all the more interesting that Emily thought HE was nuts. GAVIN was the nuts one. Emotionally unstable, anti-social, and twitchy were a few words that came to mind when describing the guy across from him. Still, all things said and done, he still liked the guy. He had horrible taste in women, but he was alright.
"Yeah, no, mate, sorry. I think most people are okay with a small amount of touching and jostling." It just... happened. Had Gavin had a strange childhood in which he was never hugged or something? Willy didn't care enough to ask. "The soup is delicious." He was almost finished with his bowl already.
It all happened so quickly. One minute the man was eating then the spoon was dropping and the next thing he knew there was a hand being extended toward him and his eyes were widening sooner than he could remind himself this was a normal part of interaction. How offended would William be if he...just....sat there...staring at his hand....? Gavin weighed the options carefully before reaching out for the briefest of shakes. There. Interaction had. The day was saved.
"I did." Gavin confirmed, sending them packing that is. "They tried insisting there was more work to do and one of them....insisted I work out a wedding date for a heart throb on level 4.....?" Or was it Level 5? Truly, Gavin hadn't been listening. "They weren't too hard to get rid of after they'd gotten their walking papers."
The Senior Undersecretary gave a small nod in defeat. It figured the wider population would enjoy that sort of thing, for reasons he'd never understand. What was the appeal in touching? Could they all NOT? "Touching and jostling sounds right up the alley of those Touchers and Tacklers by Level 2." Especially the jostling. Violent lot of them.
"Might consider some the next time I chance leaving my office." Might not be for another week or three considering the size of this crowd right here.
