This is Isley.

Please leave a message, but only if you have something important to say.

Action, goose

[silverking]

[Isley's eyes follow the movement of that hand into the shadows where he presumes another of those unforgiven await. So quick to take orders, those creatures...and it's gone once they've been given, slinking off into the shadows, its one eye disappearing from sight.]

[It's not unlike Rigaldo in its readiness to perform certain tasks, although presently the other man is not behaving himself very well.]

I've gotten what I wanted. [More or less.] In a roundabout way.

It looks as though it's worked out for everyone involved.

...You too, Rigaldo. You're not dead, after all.

Action, h...awk...??

[silvereyedlion]

[...what. What is that. What is he sending to get its disgusting mutant appendages all over his clothes. Really.]

[Rigaldo stares after it until Isley addresses him, at which point he snaps his attention over to the man speaking.]

As ever, Isley, I appreciate your lowering of standards to make the best of the situation.

[He gives another glance at Griffith, too, just in case he thinks he's off the hook here.]

I assume this means my contract is over.

Action, swan

[thewhitehawk]

That kind of dry humor... I'm not sure I appreciate it.

[Griffith stretches his arms in front of him for a moment, and then nods.]

But yes, it seems your contract has reached its conclusion.

It's a shame. I think I'll miss the company.

Action, phoenix!

[silverking]

[There is a moment where Isley is tempted to tell Griffith that he is welcome to borrow Rigaldo, and while he is at it, to talk some sense into him, but that moment passes.]

[Instead Isley watches his lieutenant, and then speaks calmly.]

You really don't appreciate anything. Perhaps next time I'll leave you to some stranger's attic after all.

[And to Griffith.]

There is something else I want to ask you.
