The fact that the man didn't reply with his name wasn't lost on Guy, and he had to wonder if it was intentional or a mistake. He wasn't able to guess based on the few words that they'd exchanged so far, but he did see it as a lack of manners. He wasn't going to judge the man for it so quickly, of course; they were all distracted and it wasn't the most important thing. But it stood out to him nonetheless.

The man's first comment almost went completely over Guy's head. He could make some assumptions, which was that part of the man's salary went to a government or kingdom (he had no idea how it worked on other worlds) and he therefore felt like he'd been snubbed, but...

Chances were the man wasn't even from Earth in the first place, right? Then again, there was always the possibility that he was.

But Guy was getting ahead of himself. He smirked in response to the question. "I don't know about upbeat, but I did used to be a servant, so you could say that I'm used to it, yeah." At least the fact that he was doing a thorough job would probably cover up the fact that his companion for the shift wasn't putting as much effort into it.

"Do you mind if I ask where you're from?" Even if he hadn't gotten the man's name, maybe he would answer this instead.
