( It's Timothy who ends up ahead of him, his words anyway, as Klaus finishes a half day at the gallery. Yes, he had three "vacation" days, but his employer was feeling generous which is code for, wants to continue his affair behind his wife's back. It leaves Klaus alone in the gallery. If he wasn't going to do any real work before, now that this conversation has started all but ensures the opposite of productivity.
It is a welcome message, in truth, but Klaus finds that he needs to tread lightly with Tim. The man is both interested but detached at times. If Klaus scares him away, then, why would Klaus befriend someone whose stomach can't take real conversation.
He's still going to play it close to the vest. He and Tim aren't 'my pseudo ex is missing and my daughter was tortured' friends just yet. Or, they are. Who is he to say what Tim can or can't take.
He sits back in the chair, his boss having closed the front door behind him. He's alone now. He can have a conversation. )
You know, when I'm from, there is something of a cheeky answer to be given to that question, but I don't exactly fall under the demographic.
( He's never had complaints is the joke line. But. )
Are you checking on behalf of the other Displaced how our surgeries fared?
