A seat is occupied
You want the place available, not a long social exchange. Beiyou asks a student to get up and receives an agreement that the seat is his.
- Practical goal
- Make a specific seat request so the reply concerns the action you need.
- Ask about getting up from the seat through your available interaction. Keep this practical request separate from an unrelated exchange.
- Observe the seat after an agreement. If your reply differs, I would choose another seat or activity rather than turn the request into conflict.
