I suppose a welome is in order for all the newest arrivals, though I must say, you did arrive at a rather tumultuous time for the city. However, it certainly seems rather as if there isn't a time here that isn't tumultuous in some way or another

It happens. Were you disappointed, then?

[bydefection]

Disappointed? By what?

[insineration]

Them not being what you expected. Hypothetically, of course.

Hypothetically speaking, I didn't expect it in the first place, so it would be rather difficult to be disappointed.

That makes things easier. Of course, you seem like a practical man, so it's not entirely a surprise.

I've discovered practicality to be nearly a necessity here.

[insineration]

Only nearly?

I suppose a sense of humor would help as well.
