[ So far seems to have allowed for only cursory glances at everything - the surroundings, manuals, the papers they've signed - and now there's the infinite possibility of time, Sunday thinks as he stands with his keys in one hand after they leave Yom Crook behind with vehicles and a destination in mind. One they're advised to head to, but surely they can't be faulted if they take the time to get to know these new cars first. Or each other, since at the question Sunday brightens ever so slightly. ]
My position back at my home was one of a mediator, of sorts. I began by listening to the confessions and complaints of guests to help solve them before I became an administrator. The Family - the organization I was part of - had several branches often at odds with each other, so those skills were quite helpful to ensure work could eventually be completed.
[ That's before accounting for being the one responsible for setting the rules others were expected to follow and what consequences there were for not. It doesn't occur to him to explain that or much of the rest of what he's said when it's not yet occurred to him that The Family would be unknown somewhere given their far reach. Even when Sunday recalls what the other man said about being overwhelmed with the cars here it doesn't entirely register there's a disconnect between what he knows and what someone else might due to differences in what's already a myriad of star systems outside of Asdana. ]
Years of practice might've been a more succinct answer, though I'm glad I was able to help.
[ Or 'help' as it'll turn out, but that's a future problem! In the meantime, curiosity from earlier is back again. ]
You'd mentioned carriages earlier, Mr. Adrian. Were they something you traveled in often?
