[Well, someone's bright and cheery today! As much as someone can be at - five in the afternoon.]

Goodness, there was quite the scuffle at the coffee shop earlier. Someone debating about tea and coffee, I'll never get the stain out of my shirt, I think --

[A frown! What did his servants use to get stains out again...]They say you can tell what a

Coffee with brown sugar.

[Filtered]

Of course. What about?

[goldilocked]

That - hmm. No cream at all?

- Vincent. Vincent Nightray.

[rapturescreed]

Preferably not.

[Filtered]

Yes, what about him?

[goldilocked]

Are you a no-nonsense type of man, Mr. Creed?

[Filtered]

How long has he been working underneath you? Will you - Do you feel comfortable answering questions about him?

[rapturescreed]

Yes, I would agree to that. I see no reason to dance around a subject.

[Filtered]

A little over a month now, I believe? That would depend on the questions, of course.

Is he a good employee?

filtered // hackable

[rapturescreed]

Yes, he is. I've had no trouble with him so far, and there have been no complaints from any of the guests. Why?

[That confirms it. From an outsider's point of view -

What had happened to Vincent? Jack pauses for a moment, covering his mouth.]

[rapturescreed]

You're welcome. One question, if I may.

[Frowns slightly.] What is your relation to him? And in turn, to the rest of the Nightray family?

It's rather obvious, of course, but I've answered your questions. I hope you'll answer mine.

That -

[He sighs.]

That is for him - or for his brother - to answer. My apologies.

[rapturescreed]

And they won't say anything. Which is why I am asking you.

[goldilocked]

[He sounds pained.

I'm their father figure.]

I'm just - a shadow from their past, that's all.

filtered // hackable

[rapturescreed]

A shadow from their past that looks like he could almost be related to them. However, you have a different last name, which does not mean much, but apparently means a lot to them.

They weren't always Nightrays, but now, they are, through and through.
