A roguish looking gentleman, the sort of fellow who spends a great deal of time perfecting his care-free, happy-go-lucky appearance, approaches Grundersnutt. He takes the publication, and looks at it briefly. It is unlikely that he learned any information in such a short time.
"Professor Grundersnutt, fascinating stuff, I'm sure! Allow me to introduce myself - Franklin Powers, gentleman adventurer."
He takes the gnome's hand in a firm grip, and shakes it vigorously.
"If you ever find the trials of field research too much of a hardship, just look me up. Death defying escapades in the pursuit of ancient lore are my specialty."
He adds an additional comment, more quietly and in Thassilonian.
"I find 'em, you bind 'em. I get the peril, you get the publications. You impress the academics, and I impress the fairer sex.
He smiles and shakes Grundersnutt's hand a second time.
