You're right. And I was a bit hard on him. Think I forgot how human he really *isn't* and said some things regarding human connection that I shouldn't have, not to him, anyway.
[A hint of a smile.] Take it you saw the night he and I met, when I inadvertently set off a gas mask zombie epidemic during World War II. Think I fell in love with him that night.
We're just gonna say I let my fists do the talking. Not that it got me very far. [Wincing.] Maybe I should've elaborated on that part, though he'd have chewed me out for that. Either way, he ended up leaving the shop in a hurry and abandoning me to deal with the one customer we had at the time.
