Exactly! Either they'll be inching away within moments or if they like that stuff they'll be too busy talking about proper motor oil and how something vehicles are faster than others, or whatever you type of people talk about.

"I was thinking more getting into advocacy work and not falling back on the life of crime, but we both know I'm shit at public speaking, and it's weird, advocating for yourself... I'm sure people would write all sorts of articles about how Mr. Lamaire is exactly like his father, self-absorbed and in it for the money." He rolls his eyes as he thinks about it, sure that no matter how he spun it, someone would have something nasty to say.
"Oh, yeah, I guess that's also something someone could do." He raises an eyebrow. "Don't let you catch me suggesting you go into that sort of work, but I'm pretty sure there are always roles that need feeling by people who don't do public speaking and I know for sure that it's normal to advocate for yourself. Getting other people to advocate for you too is the hard bit!"
He shrugs. "I mean, even if you were in it just for the money - though good luck on that - why shouldn't you be? If you believe people should be compensated for risking their lives and getting too close and personal with weird alien shit - well, it sounds reasonable to me."
