I know I have a lot to learn, Sir. I've never worked in an environment like this one, and there's so much I can study about Cafés on my own— but I want to.
[Such wise answers to give! And at such a young age, too. Whether it was to yield to insecurities or to portray unearned confidence, Ozymandias would expect more impulsiveness from someone her age. But there's no trace of even the hint of temptation for such a thing. Instead, she seems to consistently put thought into each of her words.]
[Resting an arm on the table in front of him, Ozymandias leans a little closer to her. Although there is nothing overtly harsh about his gaze, it's obvious that Ozymandias is scrutinizing the look in her eyes now more than anything.

Of course, Mister Ozymandias. Thank you— Thank you for your time! I'll do my absolute best!
[ her bright red cheeks betray her mirth, as does the word "pharaoh" hide from her true understanding of the title. she has to go look for sylvia now, she's— she's got a job! ]
