I'm glad to hear that! Hopefully it means that we're at least somewhat on the right track.

[Briefly glancing up from his nails, then resuming to finish painting them.] It was an attempt at intimidation for a good cause. It doesn't seem that anyone really took it seriously, anyway - without being backed by my guards or having nasty rumors about me going around, it's difficult to be perceived as a potential threat.

Those who did bother to contact me seemed fairly tight-lipped. I'm uncertain whether that is a matter of not wanting to divulge something or simply that they had no information to offer. You may have better luck with that sort of thing since I'm positive that you know more people than I do.

[Finally screwing the brush-cap back onto his bottle of nail polish;] I'm sure that I'll be able to make good use of your gift. Now, while I'm waiting for my nails to dry, is there anything you'd like me to bring along?
