"You're welcome for helping you train." He doesn't answer Aaron's question! His hand falls back in the backrest of the seat.

"It was useful. Maybe next time I do this I'll invite you, so I know it'll happen."

Aaron smiles. It's not quite a "thank you" but this guy seemed smart, he could probably pick up that Aaron appreciates the thought at least.

"Not sure I've seen you around. What's your name?"

"You don't know who I am?" Silas flew under the radar for a while, but now he almost feels insulted.

"There's a lot of people here. I don't know every one of them by face. Sorry man."

Aaron's player can't remember if Aaron and Silas have encountered each other before, even in passing.

Not that this player recalls either.

"Silas." He states, having no reason to conceal his identity at this time. He also has nothing to add. This guy was painfully polite.

"Aaron. Nice meeting you."

He's trying to be nice! All things considered Aaron would have the right to be a bit of a jerk about the "tried to pelt you with baseballs" thing but there's not much point stressing over it. Though now that he can put a name to the face...

"I actually have heard of you, just haven't seen you before."

"No it's not." Don't lie Aaron.

"Oh? What have you heard." He does enjoy the gossip. He rationalizes it as Intel.

Well it's not not nice!

There is a part of him that wants to befriend Silas just out of spite, now.

"You're the son of one of the old Directors, good with tech, bit cold. Not too many people here know you very well yet, say you prefer gadgets to people. Your parents aren't exactly thrilled you're here, wouldn't be even if there weren't a war that could go hot again any minute."

It's cheating, because some of what he knows isn't gossip from the corridors, it's his own knowledge of Paradigm history - like what the name "Calloway" means - and what he's heard from active-duty Paradigmers like his own parents.

"Hm." He actually surprised at how much he knows.

"Are your parents thrilled?"

"They'd probably prefer I do something safer, but I knew what I was getting into and I wanted to do it, so they support my choice."

"They're not bad. I'm sure yours means well, too."

Well, from the stories he's heard about Seth Calloway, maybe they didn't. But he's being deliberately optimistic. What kind of parents don't want the best for their children?

He snickers!

"Don't talk about my family. You don't know anything about them."

"You're right, I'm not the one who grew up with them. I'm sorry for assuming."

He means it! Well, he doesn't know "nothing" about Silas' parents, but he definitely doesn't have firsthand knowledge of 'em.

Aaron gets a glare. Silas can't stand his manners and sincerity!

Aaron doesn't glare, but he does look Silas right in the eye! He's trying to be nice, but he's also not sure what else to say.

He snickers again as he gets up, looking to just leave!

"What's funny?"

Aaron doesn't move to stop Silas, per se, but he does step a little closer. Not aggressively, though.

"Nothing." He snaps over his shoulder, suddenly seeming very cranky!

"Uh, okay."

The snap was a tiny bit unexpected, though maybe it shouldn't've been.

"You all right?"

Aaron shrugs. "Obviously I said something that upset you. I didn't mean to hurt you, and I felt guilty, especially when you were being helpful earlier."

Pretty simple. Pretty apparent the dude's not really up for a conversation though. "If you want space though, I'll give it to you. Come find me if you'd like to train together sometime, I guess."

Silas grunts, muttering something under his breath as he continues to walk away, shaking his head!

"Pod 5, if you ever feel like asking for me."

Aaron will let Silas go if he wants to leave! Even though he's heard Silas isn't exactly a class act, he really does feel bad about hurting the dude. Sometimes a guy just needs space though.

Any chance he caught what any of that muttering was?

"I won't." He grunts again before walking off.

Aaron could hear "something something people here something something hard to offend, something something."
