[ He isn't sure how he should feel, so that doesn't stop him from feeling bad anyway when he looks down when the man speaks. Maybe he's being a coward, or doing the wrong thing, or maybe he's right to not feel right about it. The book on his lap meets his gaze as a haze of words his eyes don't adjust to, until he closes it shut. Looks back at them with an uncomfortable, pinched smile of their own.

Sorry. You're new? I guess you sound new, [ Gorgug reflects, if mumbling it as an afterthought. He was looking for and wanting a lot for a new guy, or it's the first that Gorgug's met such a character. ] Did you give me a name? I can write it down, or, if you have a username on the network already. Except, I dunno if you like that--
[ He's pulling books out of his bag, Think Like An Artificer, Artificer Fundamentals, Engineering & Mathematics, which are all--not good for actually writing anything down. So he grabs a purple rectangle of crystal sitting next to him instead, picks it up and makes the surface glow with the touch of a thumb to make a screen appear not unlike an android phone.
Because if the old guy is talking about teamwork, or some form of it, Gorgug should try and see about finding out about that other network, and pass the word along by some means. Or see what any of his friends think about the secure network deal--and maybe if they would trust a guy who sounds like he participates in fancy ass business meetings? He's such a fancy talker... ]
I don't know a lot of people... are you just-- do you just want computers? And gun ammo? Your friend wanted gun ammo...
[ So Gorgug clarifies, at least to show that he remembers that, but the guy had still asked about it. So he leaves the question open about anything else that might be of interest. ]
