The room you gather in is a small drawing room, with a table and some couches set about a fireplace. There are tall bookshelves on the wall and large windows that open out to a balcony overlooking a beautiful garden.

[TO THE BALCONY]

You're too kind to indulge me. I've been having some trouble with my business and wanted to see if you were having any problems as well.

[brociopath]

What kind of problems, if I can inquire?

[dormancy]

Clients being stolen away and the like. Nothing of the sort for you, I hope?

[brociopath]

I can't say anything like that has happened. But I'm quite concerned to hear it. Any idea of what might be happening?

[dormancy]

Well, Barrier has started his new enterprise, but I don't think he'd stoop so low . . . Mm, but I'm glad to hear that you haven't had any trouble. It was worrying me to no end.

[brociopath]

They're disgusting individuals. If anyone were to do it, I imagine it would be them.

[dormancy]

They may be, but you shouldn't let them effect you. [brushing his cheek] You are so much more exquisite than they could hope to become.

[brociopath]

Thomas, how scandalous. [reaches up to cup Thomas's hand to his cheek] But you always know how to soothe my ruffled feathers.

[dormancy]

Really? That means more to me than you could possibly know.

[brociopath]

Does it? Then I'm glad.

[dormancy]

And your happiness is my own.

[brociopath]

Is it like that?

[dormancy]

Truly.

[brociopath]

I, I see...
