thank you for teaching me what it’s like to be human. maybe i almost was.

⠀ deal — but only after you get your first paycheck . ⠀

⠀ hardly a kindness , more like satisfying my own curiosity . but what did you have in mind . . . ? ⠀

⠀ then i'll be there — you'll have to show me all the moves you have so that we can pick the best ones . ⠀

⠀ that would be very mean , yes . i'm glad you're inclined to be kind instead . i'd hate to miss seeing your best moves . ⠀

⠀ i can be mean if i try hard enough ! but fine , i won't distract you . though you should show me your audition later , in private . ⠀

⠀ should i make my face less friendly ? would that be easier ? ⠀

it’s not a bother at all, i assure you.

we can… or i can come have my driver pick you up after picking me up…

⠀ i suppose it's different when the people watching are there to judge you . which is why i wanted to be there — you'll have at least one friendly face to support you . ⠀

you didn’t… i’m right here…

heh, hello.

⠀ nervous ? but you performed in front of thousands surely . . . ⠀

⠀ why not ? ⠀

⠀ might just sneak in to watch your audition . i'm curious . ⠀

i’ll be here.

⠀ i think so too . and we'll get a chance to work together . i'll recommend you to the board . but be prepared to give them your best moves . ⠀

⠀ they've been looking for one for a while now . as long as you can come up with unique and interesting concepts , it'd be a perfect fit ! ⠀

⠀ might not have to resort to plan f . they have a position going for a choreographer . interested ? ⠀
