( distantly, she imagines silco's geriatric squint surveying the emoji options on his mobile set-up like it's all Very Serious, phone screen jammed into his face. like their little yellow expressions will make more sense up-close, a choice as insignificant but integral to conducting business as debating how to sign off an email. which one screams polite yet slightly inconvenienced professional? god, he's such a fucking dad. makes a sort of sense for why he'd been her perfect pick for the job — the hiring pool of guys who wouldn't pop a boner over inventorying her panties is slim pickings. silco, for all he'd probably mistake tiktok as slang for hurry your sweet ass up and leave her on read over the mistranslation, is uniquely qualified.
