I mean, it kind of depends on the situation? Like, this time I made things weird, the other day I was going on about myself without giving you a chance to tell me where you're from...

[His crippling self esteem issues definitely have nothing to do with it.]

[cluedin]

[...]

Yeah but I wasn't even mad about either of those things. [SHE DOESN'T GET IT???]

[counterclocked]

I know, but... You don’t have to be mad for me to be sorry. Maybe that isn’t a good explanation... I’ll try not to say it again.

[cluedin]

Normally people should only say they're sorry if they mean it, but it kinda sounds like you mean it a lot more than other people. [Hunter are you okay.] ...besides, guests shouldn't have to apologize to the staff.

[counterclocked]

Right... I'll try to cut it out.

[That may be missing the point, but it's fine.]

[cluedin]

...that went right over your head, huh. [hUNTER!!!!!]

[counterclocked]

...Sorry.

[Ah—]

I mean - no I'm not.

[cluedin]

Good! [She beams and they enter the billiards room, hopping right along.] Wanna have a seat while we find good cues for you?

[counterclocked]

Sounds good, thanks.

[Towards a chair they go!!]

[cluedin]

[There she go, depositing Hunter in a seat!!]

Crutches are supposed to be a little shorter so that you're hunched and applying your weight, right? We've never used them before.

[counterclocked]

I think so. These are going to be different no matter what, since they don’t have the handholds, but... We can start there.

[cluedin]

Would it be possible to make handholds, you think? [Time to size these sticks up.]

[counterclocked]

That's kind of up to you, isn't it? I mean... You're probably more familiar with what's around here than I am.

[cluedin]

Yeah but you're more familiar with medicine and stuff than I am. I don't know how these things work.

[counterclocked]

[A beat.]

I'm... not sure where you got that idea, I don't know anything about medicine.

[cluedin]

I've never seen a pair of crutches up close.

[counterclocked]

...In five thousand years, I’m really the first person who’s needed them?

[cluedin]

Yeah, I guess you could say that.

[counterclocked]

[He pauses.]

What else could you say?

[cluedin]

If others have used them in this house, I've never seen them. You'd have to ask the others.

[counterclocked]

[He looks thoughtful after she says that.]

Is this the first time you've really been able to get to know any of the guests?

[cluedin]

Sort of. We've had a lot of guests since we started working with Master Blue but not all of them wanted to be friends or ask much from us. Some of them kept to themselves the whole time they were here. And other times we were too busy helping the Master to really get to know them ourselves.

[counterclocked]

Is this time a good change, then? I mean, if you didn't get to know the others too well... I bet I'm not the only person who's been talking to you, at least.

[cluedin]

[She considers this...]

Akira's really nice. So's Phoenix. And Beau is really cool and Ken's very sweet...[Those are just people that've left a good impression on her.] Most of the people we've gotten to speak to this time have been pretty okay. But there's still a lot of the guests that haven't spoken to us at all.

[counterclocked]

Well... I'll cross my fingers that it changes soon.
