Adelaide looks somewhat surprised at Freia's approach. She gives Gemmi over to Nezon again and turns to her.

"And a pleasure it is to finally meet you, Freia! But my goodness, my dear, let us take the opportunity to first enjoy each other's company and pluck the fruits that dangle before us.  Pleasure before business!" She snatches up a glass of wine from a passing servant's tray, drinking half its contents in one tilt. She then lights a cigarette. "Diplomacy is fine, darling, but tempered with wine and food, it is much more agreeable. Don't you think?"

Richter chuckles at Aabi's statement. "Yes, perhaps. But I only heard in passing.  Thomas had gone to the Regent's office to fill out a tax form for your soon to be vacated home, and Adelaide told me about it.  I'm sure he doesn't go about giving away information freely.  That would make him a poor doctor indeed."

He says this as he walks up to me by the bar. We clasp arms warmly. "Glad to see you, Thomas. Your wife and children are looking beautiful."

"Thank you, Richter. Good to see you, old boy." I turn to Jorge and Rhun, and Aabi. "Sorry, I didn't say something out of turn, did I?"
