Distraction and Observation (Manifesto)

Omar Tarek
Omar sat down as the gentleman gestured, and listened as he spoke of the wine on the table.  Omar didn't really drink much and usually when he did, wine wasn't his go to.  Still, it paid to be polite, even though Omar had no desire to be here.  It certainly wasn't something to take out on the man Giovanni hired to figure out what this artifact was, so when the Archivist offered, he lifted his hand and shook his head in dismissal.  "No thank you."

The Archivist, sensing his mood or just out of professionalism, didn't engage in small talk, which was perfectly fine with Omar. He generally didn't enjoy small talk anyways. Still, Omar wished that Bode's representative would get here quickly.  Awkward silence would force conversation, and Omar really would rather not.  Soon enough, however, a young woman in a bright red dress arrived.  She was pretty, and Omar also noticed that she had some Middle Eastern blood within.  At least, she certainly appeared so.

The Archivist began immediately, introducing himself as Lucien, but declined to offer his own name. Mostly he just wanted to get this business done with. When Lucien explained that this was neutral ground, Omar nodded. "Agreed," he stated, his accent clearly placing him from the Middle East.  He had no reason to get angry with this woman, and assumed the same of her.

Everything seemed straightforward enough, and even though Omar was ready to move on, he appreciated Lucien's professionalism and candor.  "No questions, here.  I'm ready to begin."
