(silence)

hueningkai: "Um... I said, how much longer am I away from there?"

hueningkai: "My friends and I are staying there for the weekend. Just to take a break from our jobs. Life is hectic, right?" 

(silence)

front desk clerk: "An Airbnb?"

hueningkai: "Yes."

front desk clerk: "The house at that address that you showed me?"

hueningkai: "Yes. Look, it's alright if you don't know where the house is. I can try my Maps again--"
