Rereading the missive, Armande smirked at the second pass through. Latin was woefully unnecessary, and while Armande's official titles were Latin honorarium, the salutations had been in Greek for a purpose.

This was not the best way to initiate a working relationship. However, Armande did not take it personally. He understood the inflated whims of younger egos. Someday, John would age to the point he no longer had time for such games; Armande did not. He formulated a suggested date and meeting place, and arranged for the message's delivery.
