He didn’t talk much, did he? His responses didn’t give her much to work with, which was disappointing because she’d have liked to offer him some tips and advice if he had disclosed any issues to her.

“Nice. It’s great that you’ve accomplished so much.’’ Megan smiled brilliantly then moved to the cupboards. What was there to eat? She wanted something light to munch on. “I’m being Captain Obvious here but you’re not much of a talker. Sorry if I’m chattering your ears off. Just let me know and I’ll be quiet.’’

Or try to.

Talking was her thing.

Dalton was so used to awkward silences that he seldom noticed them. He did notice how much Megan was trying to make this conversation work, though, and he felt a little guilty that he wasn't giving much back. But he just... couldn't. He didn't like to talk about himself, felt uncomfortable doing so and therefore he didn't do it often.

And Megan was complimenting him, which was even more odd. In his opinion, it was much of an empty compliment - he hadn't actually done much, especially not much more than anyone else. "Uh," he cleared his throat awkwardly, nodding and sipping his coffee. "What about you?" As in, what did she do? How long had she been here? Etcetera. If Dalton could force the conversation back to her, it might make things easier. He was excellent at nodding and 'mmhmming' in all the right places.

As for her being such a talker, it wasn't like he could just ask her to be quite. He wasn't purposefully impolite. "It's fine."
