Aria Grant felt extremely awkward and knew she couldn't stay with Joshua Mamet any longer.
She didn't even know how to describe the seriousness in Joshua's face when he said she had a problem – it was a terrifying kind of seriousness.
So Aria started to back away, saying calmly, "You're not calm right now, so I'll come back later to talk."
Aria turned to leave, but Joshua stopped her: "Since you're already here, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea?"
His tone had softened significantly, lacking any callousness from before.
The sudden change was a bit shocking, as Aria hadn't fully processed Joshua's earlier statement about her having a problem and quickly heard his invitation for tea – what was going on with him?
Despite his softened demeanor, Aria still had a lot to say: "I gotta ask, Mamet, why are you acting so strange? How is my participation in the show so dramatic that you'd demand Jamesmin Mitchell to cancel it? Why are you threatening people for no reason?"
