Hm. [It wasn't the speed, or the answer that had the note of truth to his inner ear. But the reason. If he was a craftsman of this sort, no, he really wouldn't.]

That does explain why you would agree to such an oath. [A beat.] Send along a copy of what you report to Gregor. I should like to watch your work.

Uh -

[ He cringes internally, anticipating some anger or explosion, as he replies: ]

I'd have to clear that with Gregor first.

[There IS a startled pause on the line, and a bemused sound follows it. It makes sense, rationally. A business shouldn't have the ledgers available for anyone who just asks.

It's just not a road block he's USED to... There's a temptation to push, just to see if he can, but it being Gregor's territory makes it a bit more delicate.]

I'm not sure how you expected me to comment on financials I have no access to. But just as well. Let me know.

[ Is that...it? Really? He starts to relax, just a little, uncertainly. Tentatively. ]

Well, I thought that...maybe Gregor had already given you access. He, uh...He hasn't, right? [ A beat - ] Or Miles, I suppose. He is technically the head of the Dendarii.

I hadn't asked.

Right. Well. I'm sure he will if you, uh, ask. Just...Until he does...You know.

[He can just imagine the bland humor from Gregor at this situation. He gives a non committal sound followed by a light exhale.]

I'll lay my petition. [He answers wryly.]

[ And, in return, a heavy exhale. ]

Uh - oh. Yeah. Okay, good. Great. Thanks. That'd be good. That'd make things a lot easier.

Hm.

That will be all, Mr. Kane. I'll speak with you again.

Uh...Yes, sir. Call any time.

[ but please neVER COME TO THE OFFICE PLEASE if he never has to look the Butcher in the eye that will be a truly happy life ]
