"Of course, I do," Beth answered to Islywn. "After all, we are having a conversation, and I could understand you well. At least, you can tell me what you feel, think, and sense, can't you?" She was being direct to him, although she didn't mean to be rude to him. However, there were still some questions that pestered her regarding what he said in the latter half of his inquiry. "If what you tell me is true and clear, then my subjectivity needs not to play any part of it, should it?"<br/><br/>"Because it is possible for words to have multiple meanings, and that they are defined by the social context and atmosphere that they are being utilized in," Rattus suddenly interjected into their conversation, while still walking down the hallway and not looking at the two of them. Beth didn't expect for him to eavesdrop on them, and expected for him to just not pay attention because of his general demeanor. His entrance was so unexpected, it perhaps could even catch even the most vigilant creatures off-guard upon the moment he spoke. It didn't help that his tone was usually unemotional, his accent was heavily Teutonic, and his prosody was almost nonexistent. "Even then, since established social and cultural conventions are solely implicit, intuitive, and vague, it is expected that we can only label a specific subject, object, or concept with a word that can define them so long as it resemble the meaning we have in mind. Thus, subjectivity plays a heavy role in communication, but only if you subscribe to the Wittgensteinian approach to it."<br/><br/>"...T-thank you, Mister von Engels," Beth suttered while preserving some bewilderment, astonished by his recitation of what he thinks about the matter they are discussing without any regard for the fact that he was not a supposed part of it.<br/><br/>"I am sorry for the unsolicited insight, I thought that perhaps I might be able to help you in regards of your difficulties in understanding non-human entities," Rattus stated.<br/><br/>It wasn't soon until they, along with the hotel staff that accompanied them, arrived at the office of the hotel management. Upon entering, they saw an middle-aged woman, wearing an administrative fashionable outfit, with her brown hair showing signs of greying. She didn't have much wrinkles as someone elderly was expected to have, but the ones she had were near her cheeks as she smiled upon seeing the group finally in the room.<br/><br/>"I wish to get confirmation if you have summoned Rattus von Engels into your office," Rattus said.<br/><br/>"Indeed, I did," The woman acknowledged, with a dignified yet businesslike way of speaking.<br/><br/>"He is here. I am Rattus von Engels, pleased to meet you," Rattus replied while offering a handshake.<br/><br/>She shook his hand as she introduced herself. "I'm Emilie Aldridge, Chief Executive Officer of the Aurora Grand Hotel, pleased to meet you too. Please do take a seat."<br/><br/>Upon taking their respective seats, Rattus went to the main topic of concern about why they were called. "They say you have urgent concerns about the damage sustained by the penthouse, specifically about the furnishings you have there. In that case, I truly apologize at the incident that took place there, Miss Aldridge, and I am willing to completely pay any amount for the replacement and restoration that is necessary, without any conditions."<br/><br/>"I see, then." Miss Aldridge nodded. "However, I still have another concern about the damages there. Not about the payment for the damages, but about what happened there. Do you have any idea what one of your colleagues did there?"<br/><br/>"I did not witness it taking place, but I have two personalities here that did, and can tell you what happened." He looked at Aderyn and Islwyn. "Maybe they can recount the incident that caused the damage at the penthouse."
