Lezard - Sorry for missing work. Again.

I just had a little snake trouble.

I see.

Take all the time that you need. I will reassign your shifts.

[yourealrightnow]

Oh, don't go through the trouble after today. I don't want to miss anymore time than I already have.

I do not think "little" is a good word to use.

It is good that you are back.

[yourealrightnow]

Probably not.

Thanks. It's good to be back, Handmaiden. Luckily I wasn't gone for long.

[grinninggrifter]

Ross, that was you? [Pause.]

Christ, that was fast. Must've been one hell of a snake to take down a big guy like you.

[yourealrightnow]

It's me, Grift.

People keep saying that. The luck isn't lost on me. It wasn't a big deal, though, really. I'm back already, so I'm putting it behind me. Thanks for being concerned, though. It means a lot in the Sphere.

[grinninggrifter]

Big deal? I'd like to see what's a big deal for you. No, don't tell me. I can imagine.

You're an interesting guy. I'm a man who pays attention to where the wind is blowing, and right now it's blowing your way, but I haven't figured out if it's a good wind or a bad one. I'll be keeping an eye on you anyway, so keep your nose clean, yeah?

[yourealrightnow]

My definition's been changing.

You're an interesting guy yourself, Grift. And no, really, I've learned my lesson. No wind is blowing my way. But, yeah, I'll keep my nose squeaky clean. It's nice to have another person looking out for me, though.
