"Hello there, I don't quite believe we've met."
Darius reached out and shook the hand of Bistro, introducing himself immediately. "My name is Darius Stone and this is my servant, Gunner. We are pleased to make your acquaintance, Sir Bistro."
Bistro smiled and shook Darius' hand vigorously. "I'm also pleased to make yours. Any friend of Shanks', is a friend of mine. So tell me, Friend Darius, how can I help you today?"
Before Darius could answer the question, Bistro was pulled in close by Shanks. After whispering something into the Land Commissioner's ears, Bistro's eyes bulged and his gaze towards Darius changed as if he was looking at a monster.
