We are allowed to meet with you privately, like so. [ gesture to... what they're doing now. ] What we speak about with you in these meetings - you do not tell the other "guests." Is that true?
That's correct, sir. We value the privacy of our guests, and all matters disclosed in these meetings are between us. [Especially now that he says it like that, yikes.] Staff-guest confidentiality is important to us.
[Well she doesn't seem perturbed by the question, just curious.]
Unfortunately the only freezer we have is located in the kitchen. Though if there's something specific you need, I suppose we can think of an alternative? [Hm.]
I'm afraid I can't use that one. The people, you see - they won't understand, and I'd rather not end up with a trident in my chest.
[ watching it happen? cool. having it happen to him? not cool. ]
My work is ephemeral in nature. Without control of STEM, I cannot use my powers to preserve it... but I would like to preserve a part of it, rather than leaving it all to rot. I am a sentimental man. If you have another way to keep flesh from deteriorating, then I'll hear your alternative.
[There's a very long pause because, like, first of all nobody should want a trident in their chest. That makes sense. Secondly though she's going to mull over her options before asking a question she's likely to regret.]
...how large of a portion are you trying to preserve?
...Mr. Valentini, just to be clear...are you asking me for a freezer in which to store someone's head? [SIR???] I suppose you could put it on a block of ice, though that doesn't exactly help with the scent of decay.
Understood. [She's going to think again.] I'll see what we can provide, sir. It may take some time...I hope you understand? Those materials aren't exactly easily available for us at the moment.
[ how the hell was this so much easier than his camera??? this is what he's thinking, and the small surprise on his face probably indicates as much. But he grins, clasping his hands together. ]
Oh, wonderful. You are much more reliable than the other two - I see I made the right choice.
I appreciate you saying so, sir, but you may wish to hold off on that judgment. There's no guarantee I can provide what you're asking for, but a suitable alternative will be delivered if we can find one. [i.e. Ty has to ask the other mods what the hell we'll allow.]

W1, TUESDAY
Good morning Mr. Valentini. How may I help you today? [She's already expecting this to maybe be Interesting but she can be nice.]

I have a question... I have two, actually. But the first one is easy. It's about you and your "sisters."
no subject
Well...alright. [Hm.] What sort of question is that?

This is the key portion of any portrait...
