David did not prefer the shoe being on the other foot, as the expression goes. He was comfortable in the role of curious researcher/general inquisitive person. He was not comfortable being the subject under scrutiny or inspection. He swallowed his anxiety at this unfamiliar situation and tried to find a way to turn this...conversation back around to focusing on Valerie.
"Ah." Yes, she'd heard of them at uni. Their legacies. Lovely. What great parents he had. Awesome people. Never annoyed him. Never threatened to kick him out. Not once. Not ever. A perfect family, with perfect parents and a perfect son who was set up perfectly to carry on the torch of his parents' perfect legacies. Was his annoyance showing on his face yet?
This connection with Valerie was not entirely unexpected, except again David was reminded of his opinion that Ms. Gray was not living up to her potential. A uni grad? Not that it mattered, but if it took the focus off him, he asked, "In what area , precisely, is your degree?" He was also mildly curious as to which campus she had completed her studies. Mildly curious. Still partly annoyed.
