<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Smirks amusedly*
The not-best liar in a room full of people all good at it by trade, huh?


We have some good liars. But thinking on your feet in a totally unfamiliar place can be hard.
<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Chuckles*
Not so much the social ineptitude, though?


*Grins*
You know, I'm not our best liar. So I think I understand even that a little bit.
<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I like to think so. I don’t take it that a lot of that is super relatable, huh?


No, actually I think I understand completely. Maybe not the sheer awe of it, but learning something completely foreign and new.
<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Not really. Not in a long time.


That’s nice. So you’re pretty much done on that front.
<Snipped quote by Artifact>

It wasn’t as important to me at the time, is what it really came down to.


Do you still run into situations like that?
<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Yep. Exactly.


I'm glad you waited until after you learned what you needed to know before you began those upgrades.
<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I wasn’t as strong back then. Thankfully. That’s something that came with improvements I made over time.


Those self-upgrades you mentioned?
<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Almost exclusively “I have to make a good impression with this handshake!” I was told people respect a good, firm shake, so I interpreted it as a bit of a sliding scale, where a firmer handshake meant a better first impression.


With an approach like that, I'd just be glad I still had a hand if I was that guy.
<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Didn’t stay that way forever. I helped a bit, and it was when we met, so he got to learn afterward exactly what I was and what my deal was.


I need to know what was going through your mind in that moment.
<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I admittedly was smart enough to know. But with priorities as jumbled as they were, it got totally dismissed from my mind.


*Laughs*
So you just take out this guy's hand. I hope he's not still mad at you.
