He rested his elbow on his knee, leaning forward. "Now tell me what you want with me, Ellis." "I don't seem to recall telling you my name. Where'd you hear it?"

Yes, I suppose it is. You have been very helpful Melody, more so than your friend was. Now, I'm sure you understand why I can't let you leave, so we might as well make the most of it."

Are you sure Ellis wasn't helpful? He's always been helpful for me, although it can... take odd directions sometimes."

It didn't help that he kept trying to avoid any small talk, that seemed a bit rude to me. Then again, I am but a business man."

"It wasn't personal, just business. It's so strange how everyone takes all fo this stuff personally constantly; we're not the Death Angels, we're the Parvis Dolor ira Populo, we don't do any of that personal stuff."

"Apparently you're not bright enough to figure out that I was using a manner of speech, Ellis." He rose his eyebrow. "Although you have a point; you are older than me, but I don't think that you have the same amount of experience as I do."
Condensation she/her Posted December 4, 2020 Author Posted December 4, 2020 I have more @Experience than both of you. Shoot, that doesn't work any more!

"Pretty sure it is some old dead language that roughly translates to 'small smart angry people' or something stupid like that. I think management figures that its a sign of inferiority if you can't understand it."

Like in this one book I read where one of the characters theorises that rich people use different names for the commode in order to see who they should oppress."

When you just came from the direction where the Parvis Dolor Ira Populo has been last seen, I think that you're in league with them. After all," Ji said, leaning forward again, his eyes bright. "Why would you come to me when you are 'new to the city'?"
