It shouldn't be so hard to step away, but, well... the way this guy was going on, it's like he was waiting for someone to talk to. She can't exactly say no to that, right?

[ Looks like this guy is new, or accident prone. Who put him in charge of recruitment, anyway?
Still, despite the fact that she now feels worse for the guy, Iris takes this opportunity while it's still there, throwing her hands behind her back, and leaning slightly toward Cor. ]
That's okay, we were just leaving actually. Isn't that right?
