Reggie watched the few remaining people enter the room and take their places, The younger of the girls catching his eye, something about her taking a death grip on his attention, that is until Ra made his comment and he watched her expression change in the worst possible way. Reggie was yanked forcefully out of his daze by the sudden realization that Ra had drawn attention to him and he was staring at her "She is NOT cute!"<br/><br/>Reggie realized how that sounded and turned beat red and continued to stammer nervously "I mean she's really beautiful! I mean she's not... but... I..."<br/><br/>his eyes sank to the floor and he sat there silently, face a bright crimson. Reggie was once again launched back into reality by the sudden stench of sewer that flooded into the room with the man he could only guess was Joseph. There was a lot of back and forth, adults being adults and raising the same kind of dramatization that Reggie despised about the aristocratic upper crust of the world. After a few minutes of listening to them prattle on about how they have much more important things they could be doing Reggie spoke up with a confidence contradicting his previous stumbling "I'll do it, assuming you can uphold your end of an agreement better then you can uphold your own dignity."<br/><br/>Reggie wasn't stupid, he could tell Joseph had recently had the snot kicked out of him, likely in a one sided situation, either that or he was simply a coward. Judging from the rather fresh stench of sewage that overpowered the pungent odor of the filth outside that already permeated the air, he had either been thrown into a sewer or fled there of his own free will. Next Reggie turned his attention to Naureen "If you're done prattling on like a psychopath, I assure you we're not simply a grouping of ruffians, no average assortment of henchmen and muscle would even qualify to clean our boots, we've been hand picked."<br/><br/>Reggie followed his statement by standing and straightening his clothes "Reginald Vincent Alexander the 15th, pleased to meet you."<br/><br/>He added an inflection to the end of his statement to leave room for her to introduce herself and bowed slightly. He hoped tossing the Alexander name out would ease some of the tension and possibly break the ice a little, he wasn't typically one to go title tossing like that but the Alexander family was one of great power throughout the entire world and you generally got a little closer to a conclusion by tossing it out sparingly. Upon straightening up he looked her dead in the eye and spoke rather seriously "Either accept the offer or don't, simple."
