[ Gen squints at that gesture of gratitude(?), assuming it's fake. Then adds to that expression of mild disgust with a wrinkle of the nose in response to what Liem says next. ]
Work is work. [ Sure, there were a few guys at the workplaces that he'd hung out with more than the others, but that had been more a matter of convenience than enjoyment. The work itself never got any less dreary. ] It's just something you're supposed to do.
[ Still. He's not about to go back on his word, and it's also not like he's trying to actively sabotage whatever the hell it is Liem's got going on here. So when the locals approach the window to ask for Liem's assistance, Gen only endures one or two more of the uneasy glances cast his way before pulling away with a low scoff. ]

It's only when he realizes that the class is over and he might be expected inside that he wearily heaves himself back onto his feet and drifts over. ]
