conference dinner
Who: Gil, Zach, Mac, and anyone else attending the dinner!
When: a day before the start of the conference
Where: Seattle

“Oh, that's not likely going to happen. It's still good if you want to ask them any questions, and then background knowledge always comes in handy. Although nobody will rip your head off if you're not all-knowing, trust me,” Gil said with a low smile, watching as Zach figured out where to put his name tag. The man was so neat, there was no crease or crinkle you could pin it to!
Gil tucked his jacked into place as well, giving a casual glance to his crotch nothing was getting cut off or, God forbid, hanging out. Checking whether your zipper was actually zipped was something worthwhile checking as well. Zach was free to see it, but if he caught it? Maybe it would be leveling the playing field for the man when it came to embarrassing situations.
“Good, that's all I'm asking of you, and that's what being professional is. You're entitled to your private life, but don't let it affect your work,” Gil agreed, then snorted softly, an amused smirk on his face. “You're as pretty as you're going to get,” Gil shooed Zach gently towards the door, patting his own pocket to make sure he has his cell phone and key card.
Not a minute too late or early they were both standing in front of Mac's room, with Gil gently knocking on the door to announce their arrival. They'd still have a good 15 minutes to get down there, so they could have a casual chat before heading into the lion's den.
