( Ah, they're to be gentlemen adversaries about it. Mr. Lattimore can manage that task, for all his patience thins. He assumes the pleasant mien of a man who negotiates the latest going rate of silks and cattle at the marketplace, or a particularly indifferent but intellectually stimulating point of abstract legislation.
He will not give this conversation the privilege of ruining his composure. Bad enough they waste tame, energy and Captain Hawk's limited availability on this course. )
There was nothing unintentional about fleeing a task he didn't complete, losing precious artefacts related to it and squandering every resource supplied to him for this undertaking. Without reimbursement.
( A smile, choice, gentle and free. ) But that's behind us now. You would like to end our little disagreement. And we would like to recoup our investment. We're all... agreeable individuals. Of course, minus the rogue Kreil. Has your captain decided how to tackle that particular loose end?
