H-Hiring manager?!

[ ...This isn't a bad thing whatsoever, but Ozy, you've successfully made her freeze up again. Her mouth's hanging open, and her eyes are wide. Her ears are pointed straight up again and it looks like she's almost forgotten how to breathe.

Goodness. They need a Freeze counter, don't they? ]

[fulgency]

[Ozymandias pauses a moment before realizing... It happened again. And it looks like a bad one this time relative to the last one. Sound and motion are probably not going to be enough to snap her out of it this time. Unfolding his arms, Ozymandias steps closer to her to give her a very gentle shake by the shoulders. Just enough to try and encourage a little less rigidity in her current posture.]

Sylvia?

[...They should probably work on this.]

[stardustish]

[ They probably should. This is fine, though, because that shake to her shoulders gets her to blink. Once, twice, and then there's a flustered expression on her face. This is so embarrassing. She can't believe she's frozen up twice today. ]

It keeps happening...

[ She murmurs it to herself and scrubs her face a little. ]

Sorry about that, I was really caught off-guard by my, uh, new title! I've never managed anything in my life!

[fulgency]

[Once she snaps out of it, Ozymandias lets Sylvia go.]

I do not know if you can make such a claim. You did see to it that this cafe ran well in my absence. It may have been only for a brief period of time, but you proved yourself capable then.

[stardustish]

Y-You think so? Haha, well, I'm honored!

[ So much praise from Boss today. Not like she's complaining, though. She takes a moment to collect her thoughts, then she looks at him with a more confident, reassuring smile on her face. ]

Alright. I guess I'm the new Hiring Manager now, and I'm not gonna back out of it, so I'll do my best to find some top-notch employees for us!

[fulgency]

[Ozymandias reflects her confident smile, though to a much higher degree because it may actually be physically impossible for him to smile in a way that doesn't exude confidence.]

Then I shall leave it to you, [he says as he steps back around the counter.] But if you run into any troubles, do not hesitate to ask for my guidance.
