[This city is too similar to his own, Miss. He has no illusions that its core could be any less rotten.
His eyes flicker back to Emily as she speaks, widening slightly in surprise- he didn't expect the offer to come from her. He’s usually the one making it. Is she better at politics than he thought? Is this- can someone have this kind of delicate tongue without the moral corruption that comes so often with it? He doesn’t know, he’s too deep into it himself. Zetian isn’t here to set him straight.]
Oh- you’re right. It slipped right through my mind too! [Yizhi brings his arms in front of him and folds one hand over the other; a proper greeting salute.] Gao Yizhi. It’s a pleasure to meet you as well. And I think…
[After almost hurting Zetian with his actions, he’s unsure about starting this kind of talk with someone else. But there’s no escaping transactionality, Yizhi guesses, not since humans built their first settlements and made manpower into a resource. He will just have to hope neither of them botches it. Miss Dryer seems nice; he doesn’t want to use her.]
… that you are completely right. We have more in common than the factions want us to believe, and we might get out sooner if we all work together. Is there anything I could help you with right now?
…other than your share of parade prep. Finishing mine’s going to wipe me out, I’m afraid.
