[...] What is an unexpected skill or special interest in your repertoire.

And why did someone add a ferret stampede to Temporal Puzzle 5146.b.

BRIONY, CONSTANCE, MALLORY, THEUN, TEDDY

Is anyone a proficient driver of [...] station wagons. I have to go into Stamford this weekend and the agency burdened me with a freighter.

Your special interest is interpersonal skills?

BCMTTS
Why not?

Oh... oh no, poor Ivan.

Yes. Isn't it fascinating.

BCMTTS
She believes the living room will be more than adequate when she needs to study. I disagree.

While I now believe he needs a stronger support group around him, I am not them.

I've forwarded along your resume to HR.

BCMTTS
Oh, then we absolutely should surprise her with a chair! She needs a dedicated study space!

But your interpersonal skills!

They'll feed it to their hellhounds before they even begin round one, and I will be grateful.

Would it be a [...] burden?

But Ivan's haircut.

I suppose we'll have to see.

BCMTTS
To gift a chair? Do you think she'll feel beholden to keep it if she hates it?

I'll work on the haircut.

I wouldn't want her to have to throw it out either.

No, it's the sort of thing we should leave alone lest we wake some horrible, ancient power.

Then if she hates it you can haul it back off.

It's hair, Sébastien. It'll be fine.

That's not a gift.

It's a crime.

Yes, it is. It's two gifts: the physical and the emotional of her knowing you support her choices.

I said I was working on it.

It's two burdens: the physical that, as you say, she can haul back off, and the emotional that I don't know what ~~her life is like any~~ she [...] would enjoy.

You already have one full-time job, you don't need the equivalent of six.
