I suppose the kind of politics, then, are just important to the company than anything else. Although I usually like to choose my conversational partners by those who have something interesting to say.

So do I. I usually talked to the other attaches. We'd trade horror stories about things our bosses made us do.

[il_mostro]

... dare I ask what they ask attaches to do in these situations?

Most of the time it was the usual bad-boss stuff. Get this, fetch that, what do you mean you can't get insert-impossible-thing-here done immediately. But you know, most of us...we were picked for our looks as much as our connections and the age of adulthood was fourteen, so. I'm sure you get the general idea.

...I am hoping it does not having anything to do with child molestation?

Re: backdated to Christmas Day 2019 (cw: underage implied)

[unphase]

No, no. Not by our worlds' standards, anyway.

I see ... I am fascinated to hear of these things, as they arise.

Well...personally, I never went any further than what the Terrans call "second base." [she shrugs lightly] I'm picky.

Besides, I always found it easier to keep fetching drinks and apply a little charm and flattery. If the drink didn't get to them, the appeals to their egos would.

[Hannibal's dark eyes flicked with amusement, and then a touch of sorrow that he added.] This place must have been a terrible shock to you, with all of the restrictions.

[His mouth twisted.]

Inflating egos is often the way to get what you want out of older people.

[she sighs and looks down for a moment] It was. One minute, I was an adult, free to do as I pleased. The next? Back to being a kid again and not being taken seriously. I had to--had to go to locals the first few months. That was often. Unpleasant.

[hers, too, into a wry smile]

Mmm-hmm. Talk about how strong and powerful they are, follow it up with another glass of fifteen-year-old scotch, and they're eating out of the palm of your hand.
