Please, I can handle them myself, Mr. Eames. It sounds suspiciously like you're trying to come to my rescue.
Generally, I don't make friends with people in our business. It's better if there's a line between personal and professional. And I don't know if you've noticed, but dreamshare people aren't exactly trustworthy.
You're interested in being on top? Somehow, I knew.
Hey, I work with you more frequently, you're only moderately exempt from "untrustworthy character" status. They think I work with corporate research, high end NDAs. Not too far off from the mark.
If I said, it would just sound like boasting. It's better as a demonstration.
How rude. I'll have you know I'm very in demand socially. Though my occupation depends on who you ask. If we're going by majority, they believe I'm old money and don't have to work.
[In that amount of time, Eames had thought that Arthur had grown tired of the conversation altogether and had decided to stop humoring him. So he was a bit surprised when Arthur texted him back, and for a moment, he wondered if he had to actually consult his records.]
You really had to think long and hard for the answer, didn't you? That's a sign you're overdue.

Date: 2018-07-11 09:49 pm (UTC)Yeah well, don't get too comfortable with it. Do your friends know what you do?
Wait, you do have friends, right?

...About three years ago, I think?
