"I'm surprised," said Aldrich. "I wouldn't have expected you to be the type to care about appearances."
Fler'Gan bowed his head. "I care not for what the specimen here think. But I am not willing to tarnish reception of you, O Elder."
"At least you're a lot more polite than the other tentacle guy," sighed V.
"What is Balar doing, by the way?" said Aldrich. He had told V to keep Balar in Haven because he was not needed for this meeting.
"He's a decently fast learner. I told him if something fishy ever happened to Haven's networks to push a button that'll send me a signal," said V. "But I'm not sure he'll listen. I figured out that he loves watching TV shows and movies. So, I hooked him up to Vision+, and now he's watching like seven different things at once with all those eyes.
With how many series and IP Vision+ has bulldozed and devoured, I figure he'll be sitting there for a while."
"Well, at least he's adjusting," said Aldrich.
