I'm really sorry folks but I gotta bow out of this. Life has decided to sucker punch in the "schedule jaw" and so my ability to check and update games is limited. With this being a newer system for me and one of my newest games I want to bow out while you folks havea good head of steam and a group to work with. Apologies.
Robert tils his head in greeting at the doctor and follows suit as Udko signs in. As the mention of a tour the Englishman offers a tight nod to indicate his approval.
Robert shares what information he has discovered about the Henslowe family and its geographical location. Otherwise the businessman is pleasant all be it relatively quiet at dinner.
Robert goes through the motions of the suit fitting sure that the staff understands his English ancestry demands something that minimizes the heat as best as possible and is subtle in regard to when he will still surely suffer in the heat, he mentions this all in good humor. Moving on to the hall Robert pauses to contemplate his exact next steps.
Robert pauses as he considers the proposal of the front desk, Yes I think a car would be appropriate. Can you also let the tailor know I am on my way? I would appreciate a fast fitting as I want to see to my other business. Ring me when the car is here? Robert puts down the phone will the cool assurance that comes from money. As he considers what to take with him he contents himself with a simple leather briefcase with basic writing implements, his cigarettes and lighter and his key for the room. His items prepared he sits by the window and attempts to take in as much of the breeze as he can as he waits to be rung.
Robert suddenly finds himself lamenting the lack of a proper English summer but does his best to make due. As his various compatriots move about their tasks the ex-soldier thinks on his next steps and comes up short. The doctor was checking in at the hospital, the detective had made some mumblings about checking in with his ilk locally and Robert found himslf uninterested in whatever the great "Amadeus Ra" was up to. That left the historian but Robert was unsure what exactly they could accomplish together in the face of this situation. Thinking on the situation some more Robert makes a call down to the front desk looking for information about seeing someone about clothes for the weather and where the office of vital records might be and how to get there...
On the flight Creswell makes notes about the conversation and drafts a small list of items he think might be helpful to have. Underlining a few key items Robert is happy to engage in small talk but says little of substance. Despite his instinct to indulge Robert thinks it might be better not to separate himself from the others, I will join you fellows if its not a bother. I am familiar with the States but its probably best I'm not left to my own devices.
Robert will inquire about the state of affairs in Savannah as far as a car and potentially a guide, if she does not already have arrangements made he will ask to use a telephone to make such arrangements.
Robert casts a dark look at Amadeus but says nothing instead turning his attention to their host as he once again withdraws his cigarette case, pulls one of its contents and lightly taps the cigarette on the case before returning the case to his pocket. Lighting the cigarette Robert nods to Janet, Well my father always thought highly of your father though they were not especially close. Nonetheless the Creswell family means to see your troubles eased and your mind at peace. If talking to this Henslowe fellow puts a foot on the right path, so be it.
At the indication that the lady actually was hoping for Robert the man merely offers a light smile and a nod, moving to the table as indicated. Robert sits leaning back, cigarette in hand with one leg crossed over another. As the conversation turns to "business" Robert mostly watches and listens offering a very plain skepticism in the nature of Amadeus' line of commentary. As Dr Udko's offers his question Robert sits up a bit straight and nods, Indeed. Tell us more.
Robert exits from the car and reaches into the breast pocket of his bespoke suit, pulling out a silver cigarette case and lazily drawing one of its contents and tapping it against the case as he approaches the woman. Stashing the case and producing a lighter the former soldier, himself graying at the temples and showing a similar age to the woman, lights his cigarette, stashes his lighter and ambles up to the woman and takes her hand. Offering a light peck he nods, Ms. Winston-Rogers. I am Robert Creswell the second. My father regrets that he could not attend but trusts that I can be an adequate replacement in his stead. The man's smile is warm and just almost hides the light acidic tone around the word "father". Robert is fully dressed in Saville Row finery; a modern suit, a long coat, hat and high end dress style shoes. Modern style with elite sensibilities.
Still need to transfer some items from the sheet for ease of access I think I am ready... |
