As the kid's first words began fumbling out, a scowl slid across Kyle's face, preparing himself for a pathetic display. But as the kid took his breath, and began again, the air around him changed. Slightly raising an eyebrow, Kyle focused on Taylor til he'd finished speaking. Few things annoyed him more than babbling and hesitation; thankfully, the kid avoided one of them. He'd given a quick and, more importantly, clear answer.<br/><br/>A small smile formed on Kyle's lips, laughing to himself at what he'd just witnessed. Enough people crumbled under pressure, but even when he couldn't blame them for it, it'd still annoy him. Seeing this kid push through put him in a much better mood. Hopefully he'd follow through for the rest of their talk.<br/><br/>Not breaking eye contact for a moment, Kyle carried on with the new tempo as if it were natural. "Well said. A bit excessive, but well said. My name's Kyle, and figuring out why I'm here is the question of the night. Unfortunately, I don't like the idea of waiting for someone to hand me the answer. Given how misplaced you look, I thought you might've been asked here on short notice as well. Was that a fair thought?" At this point, Kyle's eyes softened slightly, but kept careful watch of how Taylor responded.
