[group on the other side of the room laugh]
What could possibly be that funny? [sits next to Joe]
[internally] Rhys Montrose. What's he doing here?
Good book.
[internally] Oh, no. I sound drunk.
So you're the new one. Mal unfailingly adopts you lads, back since the dormitory at...
[internally] Oxford, right. They were all there together.

Quite a thing, that. Tell no one your sordid life story for 30 years, then write it down, suddenly millions know your every shame.
For what it's worth, I didn't find your book sordid.
Fellow man with a shit childhood, then?
[Joe looks away]
I see. A true shit childhood. Pleasure to meet you, brother in arms. The thing about getting money when you had none, you never really feel you have it. And all the people who always did...
Another species.
Exactly.
[internally] I actually don't hate him, yet.
They're dancing while the world burns. Barely notice it's even burning. Why would they? Their weather's just right.
