it's fiiiine

[He smiles, bowing slightly once he steps inside. A small gesture of deference to the professional, despite his standing. Polite etiquette drives him to take a small piece of shortbread, even if he's rather certain that he would be more likely to be sick than hungry. Hardly the first time he's taken food he has no interest in for the sake of politeness.

He settles himself into an armchair, something that looks firm enough that he won't sink back into it, instead perching at it's edge, ankles crossed neatly, back perfectly straight.]

Thank you for agreeing to see me, sir. Marianne spoke highly of you and... I fear with her absence I am... I suppose a bit lost, myself.

( Maruki himself doesn't take anything to eat, preferring instead to make himself comfortable and grab a clipboard and pen, quickly noting down the date and time of the session. )

Oh? Well, I hope I can live up to her words.

( mAN compliments are awkward, okay? but enough of that. he swiftly breezes through the usual formalities — how the sessions work, how confidentiality is handled, and so on — to get them started. )

I'm sorry to hear that Marianne's no longer with us. I take it you two were close?

[Lorenz makes mental notes about the, clearly well practiced, disclaimers made, nodding along with the information. His expression falls when Maruki moves back to Marianne, though, gaze downcast and shoulders slumping just a touch.]

Yes... she is probably the dearest friend I have ever had and has been for many years now. I had actually just begun to stay with her after the recent tragedies and... now I find myself struggling to feel at ease in a home that is not mine but is certainly my responsibility in her absence.
