I wouldn't have gotten where I am today without being myself.
[ His self who is apparently dead and now here. ]
Okay well, I guess if I changed something it would be to not be so gracious, because then I wouldn't be here. I'd be back home, finalizing a sponsorship deal.
[ Rhys doesn't really get Williams point here. It sounds stupid, sticking around to see if the system is what? Fair? It wasn't, from what Rhys had seen. Child murderers walked free while men like him, who's biggest crime had been being a capitalist, were stuck drifting through the deepest parts of space. It was a waste of time. ]
Things were dicey for a second or two, but yeah I thought I'd survive.
[ Needed to, couldn't let Jack win. ]
A windfall? What's that some kind of... air pressure system?
[ His patience runs out. So much of this annoys him—not knowing what a fucking windfall is is the icing on the cake. Had he not known about deals either? He types out half of a decidedly ungracious reply, deletes it.
Comes back later. Okay. Reset. ] Who are you? When you're not posturing and talking yourself up? What'd you do during that second or two?
[ Rhys does not, in fact, know about the windfalls much less the deals. No one tells him anything around here and he's sick of it.
His reply is terse, like William is scratching the paint job on his new car with blunt fingernails, but in his other hand he has a set of keys ready to do some real damage. ]
That's cause you only met me a month and a half ago, this is me. In those couple seconds I thought "I hope I don't die!" and then I didn't.

[ Doubtful that William will get much more outta him today. ]
