*he walked round and sat down, looking over the water.*
Yes. Always some little detail to ovresee, one last quiestion that absolutely has to have the bosses seal of approval. You know how it is.
And it is always good to be back.

Ah, yes, busy. But no unpleasant business, I trust?
*He gives him a meaningful look at this question*

Nothing unpelasant. Just the normal cut-and thrust of the wrld of business. You know how it is.
*He smiled, chuckling inwardly at the discomfiture of Tyrone, a business rival.*

*Nods*
That is good. Businesses like your own can so easily get tied up in unpleasant affairs- competition, legal complications...
*He puts his hands back behind his head and stares out over the water*
So- any particular reason why you are back, or just business abroad done and getting homesick?

Wanted to make sure the marlet loansharks don't get too close, of course. But nothing special.

*He looks at him for a while, the grey eyes reflecting Masterson's face*
Of course. Welcome back. Care for an icecream?
*The bells of the icecream cart come closer as the cart turns up the path by which they are sitting*

*He buys two icecreams, hands one to Masterson, and licks his own contentedly*
Any questions, ask them now.

I suppose I am marginally curious about what you may now about these new arrivals. I have been briefed, naturally.

We have many, many new arrivals every day, friend. Which are you interested in?
*Some of the icecream is melting and falls on his finger. He licks it off lazily*

I am a businessman. As such I look at things from that perspective. So perhaps I am interested in learning which of our new arrivals who have managed to make themselves - pillars of our community - may be in need of my services. And whether any ah.. special arrangements, shall we say - apply to them?

*Looks at him with his reflective eyes*
Pillars of the community? These past three months? A bit fast to become a pillar, wouldn't you say?
*Shrugs*
Word on the street has it our missing council member is back in place. The school has a new principal, and the Fisher tradingcompany has seen a change of management. But they're not clients of yours anyway, I believe, so no problems there. Nothing you don't already know, in short. As for your services, I doubt it. They looked well-provided. Special arrangements? Yours or mine?

The new principal is exactly the sort of person to whom I was referring. I understand he has been in the city less than a week.
I was concerned more about infringing on your territory.

Correct.
*Finishes his icecream*
Infringing? What do you plan then, that you're afraid to infringe?

You misunderstand me. I have no concern one way or another. After all they hardly pose a threat to any of us do they?
But we do not know them and what they may bring in their wake. Oh well *he shrugged* that is what we fine upstanding citizens pay our taxes for is it not? So that the city council can have the funds to deal with any intrusions, keep law and order and so on?
*He finished his ice cream*
