#btw while Emery was here they did arson

He smiles broadly.

He also chucks you under the chin, which is a little over-familiar, but, well. His buttons are so very shiny. It's difficult to quarrel with a man of such shiny buttons. "Thank you," he says. "I do hope you'll continue to enjoy your stay."

Me: I am not that easy! Clearly shady character: *holds my PC's chin* Me: ... Damnit.

So yeah because Light Fingers plot stuff, Emery had to enter the state of some confusion and was crazy for a good while. She probably would have been able to go home sooner if I hadn't decided to be polite and thank the manager instead of complaining like the game was telegraphing me to do. Next thing I know he's tilting Emery's head up and I swoon. Then I knew I had to stop working on my writing and immortalize this moment while it was still fresh in my mind.

Now of course I'm aware The Manager is kinda spoken for, so nothing's going to come of this. Emery just had a little moment that did something for him. Also since Emery's doing Light Fingers, these characters likely won't have any meaningful interactions going forward. I do have another account with another character who's going to do Heart's Desire though, so I'll probably be able to learn more about him through her.

Thank you to werefeathers and igordumbra for answering some questions I had about The Manager so I could depict him better. I also used stock photos and figurosity as reference for the poses.
