Okay. Butt-shuffling wasn't working.
Standing riiiiight up (and giving another sneeze) Jake stepped into the office.
Heh. The floor seemed to be getting lower, and the ceiling ever closer.
What's up with thaaaat?
"I'm beginning," Jake said calmly, brushing the dust from his robes and ruffling his hair so it lay straight.
"To guhh-get the im-impression that yuhh-you dislike me, suhh-sir," he went on, raising an eyebrow of his own. Oh yes. He was starting to recognise non-verbal actions for what they were.
"You and Luhh-lawson should ssstart a club," Jake added, his voice becoming noticeably more bitter. Eh. So what? He knew he was disliked, now he was becoming immune to it.
"Puhh-people won't wuhh-walk over me anymore," he muttered, in reference to the doormat comment. Then, he gave a niiiiice big, totally not sarcastic smile.
"I've buhh-been wanting to talk tuhh-ter you."
Dun, dun, DUNNNNN.
