Byerly's eyes flick briefly between the desk and the blush. Has his assistant been seducing the handsome young bookkeeper when the fellow gets lost? Seems like the sort of thing Benedict would do. But Josias seems a bit too awkward to be easily seduceable.
"At times," Byerly says. And then he thinks a moment and amends, with just the lightest rime of bitterness, "I used to."
His subsequent glance towards his own desk holds a measure of loathing. No question what has gotten in the way of said gambling and dancing.
"You should try it. While you're still young. Sin a little."
