[ Daisy. Like the flower. It feels too sweet, somehow, for the obviously angry girl in front of him, but there's something about it that also fits. For some reason, it makes him soften up a little, too. ]
It's a nice name. Suits you.
[ He's not lying. He doesn't really lie. ]
I'm not horrified. [ believe him, that's not what horrified looks like on him. ] I'm sorry if I sounded unprofessional, is all. I really need this job, you see.
[ Aka, don't go reporting him to his manager for harassment, please. He is just out of prison, this job is an absolute hail mary. ]
