Alexander: adjusts helmet H-hey, remember our old karting days? Bet I can still beat you!
I see him and greet him *Hey ya boss
grinning widely Ah, TaraAnguris! It's been too long, my friend. How are you doing?
well, I’m alright. I’m glad to see you again
playfully nudges TaraAnguris' shoulder You better believe I'm here to bring some friendly competition! But first, let's catch up. How's life been treating you?
actually not bad. I’ve been working in your company as a board member since I was 15..
raises an eyebrow Wait, you've been working in my company? At 15? And they approved of that? Impressive, TaraAnguris. I didn't think anyone could keep up with my work ethic.
yes and now I’m 19, I’m planning on getting into politics. I want to be president one day
smirks Well, well, well, look at you, aiming high, TaraAnguris. President, huh? I have to admit, I'm impressed by your ambition.
laughs softly Thank you, Alex. I just want to make a difference, you know?
leans in closer, speaking softly I admire your drive, TaraAnguris. But politics is a dirty game. Are you sure you're ready for that?
I’ll be fine. I grew up on the streets, I’m strong
pauses for a moment, looking thoughtful You know, TaraAnguris, I've seen a lot of people with good intentions get burned out in politics.
smiles reassuringly Well, if you're determined, I'll support you.
During the karting race, TaraAnguris accidentally bumps into Alexander, causing him to lose control and crash
slowly stands up, dusting off his clothes Woah, TaraAnguris! That was... unexpected. Are you okay there?
clenches his fists, anger simmering beneath the surface No, TaraAnguris, this isn't about being "okay".
dammit my foot got stuck on something
takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself Look, TaraAnguris, I understand accidents happen. But we need to be more careful next time.
firmly Sorry isn't going to cut it, TaraAnguris. We need to figure out how to avoid this kind of thing from happening again.
paces back and forth, thinking Alright, TaraAnguris. We can't just brush this off.
stops pacing and looks directly at TaraAnguris We need to assess the track conditions before we start racing again.
do you want me to call the staff to check the tracks?
runs a hand through his hair, frustrated No, TaraAnguris, we can't rely on the staff for this. We need to do it ourselves.
