[GM: Yeah, that's fine. I didn't think you'd been SARed. I'm just trying
to balance your needs with Alex's since you're in the same scene. I'll try
to keep this simple for Terry. Just jump in when you can. Thanks.]

Chico looked at Terry, expecting a comment, but Terry remained quiet. "The

"Well then," Mr. Detzer responded. "Let's take care of business, shall
we?" He gestured toward the couches, beckoning everyone to sit.
"I can get drinks for everyone," Nadia spoke up. "What would people like?
We have a full bar."
Chico ordered first. "I'll take any brew that you have from Innsbruck."
"I'll take a water, no ice," Clara stated.

Nadia looked to Sebastian. "What about you, Chance?"
