You're absolutely right! [He winks, cheeky, his mouth wide like a grinning moon.] I'm getting to know ya, bit by bit. And maybe along the way, you get to know me bit by bit! And they say I'm not a fair businessman.

[Who's "they"? He doesn't explain. It doesn't matter. He says a lot of things that seem to not matter.]

[Bit by bit to find out everything he is, he says.]

[Good luck on that one, he's undoubtedly thinking, behind it all.]

[The notion that Elysium provides only make him close his eyes, fox-like and heavily amused. One does not simply hold out a hand and ask a bird to alight onto it. You have to give it something it wants. Even birds have their hungers, their needs.]

Hahahhaa. Wow. What can I say? I can't help but like sales. The negotiation is alright, but the end deal where everything falls into place and everyone gets what they want is a moment like no other.

[He drums his fingertips against his cheek.]

I haven't demanded anything of you, dear Elysium. Maybe your time alone? But you have chosen to share a few little thoughts to me with barely any prompting. Haha....no, we have to agree on something, here. You and I? We're on a similar level. I place one card, you put another. I think you want what is at the end of the game, too, regardless of what you say. Curiosity killed the cat!
