No. [He's not defensive at all, what are you talking about!! Scott huffs, trying not to look embarrassed about getting caught. In fact, he's just going to double down now.]
I just wanted you to get to the point.
[Because Altius was yapping so much! But miraculously, Scott doesn't add any extra comments from there, following the older man up to the second floor as they head towards what the mutant would call 'the head honcho's office.' The fact that they had to climb a flight of stares and there's windows looking down at the people below definitely screams that. Besides, Altius himself just said that they're heading to his office. Scott has to instinctively push back a couple of older memories where he had to walk to the principal's office after 'acting out' again or whatever bullshit.
At least this doesn't really feel like that. Maybe it's because it's just the post office and not a school, but honestly, it's because he kind of actually like Altius, unlike the adults at his old school. So, Scott's less defensive, although he can't help but look just a little more serious too, as they step inside.
Probably the only reason why he doesn't immediately steal his chair.]
...What did you want to tell me anyway?
[Okay, maybe he can't fully hide some of his awkward behavior, Scott shifting where he's standing in front of the desk as he look at Altius. It's clear the teen is trying to play it cool, but he really can't remember a time when someone 'invited' him to his office for a good thing. Did he disappoint the older man in some way?]
