She's quiet for a few moments, trying to process it all. In a way, she's somehow comforted by the fact he's this open and cares enough to speak up about a situation that... blatantly doesn't involve him directly. He had made that much clear before she had even gone into the theatre, but at the same time, she's mildly irritated she'd been knocked off her happy cloud so quickly. That, of course, isn't entirely his fault as he's just looking out for her, but...she is a little proud.

Then there's the fact that she's confused and startled at her own apparent desire for his approval. When was the last time she had been able to pinpoint someone exactly?

She nods and shifts her bag on her shoulder. "I'll keep an open mind. He's one of the best at the agency, but..." She takes a deep breath. "He also won't be involved much with this. He actually wasn't keen on my auditioning for it anyway, because it pulls me out of slates. I won't be able to model as frequently with rehearsals as intense as they are."
