[walkingtheweb]

So. A new city just appears overnight?

[A pause, and then small 'meh' sort of noise]

More oddities. The question is, do they have brandy?

[He saw you flirting with his wife, btw. >[]

Have you looked?

[walkingtheweb]

[You were meant to!]

Not yet. I figure I'll get over there tomorrow or so.

[population_ctrl]

Apparently, that might pose a bit of a problem.

[Annoyed. What is it with this place and its failure to leave people properly dead?!]

[walkingtheweb]

How so?

[population_ctrl]

Apparently, people are getting attacked.

[walkingtheweb]

Ah, well then I will have to be careful, no?

[population_ctrl]

[Scowl.]

Be useful first.

[walkingtheweb]

[Sigh]

In what way Monsieur?

[population_ctrl]

[Glare.]

Yes, that's a good question, actually.

[population_ctrl]

[Totally related. Sort of.]

I see you've spoken to my wife.

[walkingtheweb]

She is a charming woman.

[Have a perfectly innocent smile]

[population_ctrl]

[Is he returning that smile? I don't think so.]

You should take care around her.

[walkingtheweb]

[Of course not. That's sort of the point]

I know how to be polite.

[population_ctrl]

[Well. If people want to think he's the jealous type, that's alright with him.]

Of course.

[population_ctrl]

[As always, though, it's not really about Mireile.]

I expect you to be discrete, Monsieur. About the work you've done for me.

[walkingtheweb]

[He never expected it to be]

I am always discrete about such things. I am a professional after all.
