Mr. Keppler has already invited me to join him on the lunch shift, and I have accepted. I have little desire to work in an environment where my presence makes others upset, you understand.

[ukan]

I'm glad.

But I hope you understand it's not your presence, it's your behavior. [Like, you know, bringing the apocalypse to the ship.]

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

My behaviour, then.

I don't begrudge others for not liking me, Mr. Tennant. It's entirely understandable, given my actions. I also understand the importance of a productive work environment, and I've no desire to disrupt that.

[ukan]

It's good to hear. I'll be helping with lunch prep for at least a little while; that won't disrupt you?

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

I will do my best not to call down the Dread Powers upon us as we chop onions.

[ said so very dryly. ]

[ukan]

Oh, thank God. [Exaggerating his relief] My real fear is a fallen soufflé.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

I have known of chefs whose deepest fears were not all that far from that.

[ is it a joke? is he making a joke? ]

[ukan]

That and a sink full of dirty dishes?

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

Anything might lurk in such a sink.
