You think? Do you turn into something big and ravenous come lunch time?

[arbitrated]

The-- shark. I meant the shark. [ A beat. ] Sorry, it was a bad joke, admittedly.

Hey, if you don't want to, you can just say no.

[ He falls quiet for a second, sighing at himself. ]

No, I'd like to, I just-- [ His gaze flicks briefly to Alyssa again before settling back on Charlie. ] I find I have little time, these days, for, ah, personal matters.

I know. Lot of stuff going on.

But it's just lunch. I assume you eat lunch during the day anyway.

[arbitrated]

[ Another quiet laugh. ]

You aren't wrong. Anything else would be breakfast or dinner.

So how is it any different if you have company?

[arbitrated]

[ He falls quiet, then manages a small smile. ]

You missed your calling, Charlie. You should've gone into law.

I do look amazing in a suit, but beyond that, I think I'll leave the lawyering to you professionals.

So, what do you say? Shall we do lunch?

[arbitrated]

I... think I could manage that, sure.

Sounds good. I'll give you a call.
