[Oh good God. Will takes a second, because he honestly has a few words to say about Power Girl, as much as he has to say about how it seems like Chilton enjoys sending her on goose chases. But he decides it's better to go defensive than offensive, shut down instead of expose. At least until Wednesday at six.]
Work-related. Confidential. You know how law can be. Nothing worth Power Girl's time, either.
[Yes, that is his hiding spot. Implying that he'd be breaking some legal barrier and then sticking that shield in the ground and sitting behind it. A desperate last refuge.]
I'm not going to risk further straining a relationship with a coworker who could report me for some sort of violation. I will put a lot of things on the line for you, but having a work environment that's relatively frictionless is new to me. I like it. I like my job! I want to keep liking my job. Don't ask me to throw it away.
[so you can have some boring gossip doesn't make it in. He thinks it, almost types it, but no. That could be taken as rude.]
I'm not asking you to throw anything away, Will. I just find it curious that you believe Crane would be inclined to report you for, as you said, "some sort of violation".
Is that the tenor of your professional, working relationship?
He's not going to say anything. Chilton can see how his handiwork paid off in person, once he's cornered in a room. One he can, presumably, walk out of if it gets too frustrating.]

[No never.]
We will pick this up Wednesday, then.

I'm going to get very very drunk after I get back to the house. If you have anything else to add, now is the time to get it out there.
[Anything else that isn't "do you drink in response to all horrible situations?" of course.]
no subject
[He only says it because he knows it will frustrate Will, this little showcase of power.]
