For a moment he's almost tempted to apologize. But why should he do that? He's tempted to say, Maybe I'll feel a little different in a few months.
Is that how normal people act? Is this how they function? Is this something else that's changed? Is he going to be able to fly under the radar? Is he going to be able to do his job? All of his job? Even the parts that the rest of the department won't know about until he's got something concrete, something unassailable?
"I don't talk about it," he says, finally. "People already know. And that helps. But that's got its own problems because then they think they know what side they fall on. So I don't talk about it. Or I guess I won't. If it comes up. It's still kinda new. You want to get a drink? Maybe something in a pineapple? If pineapples are still around?"
