It was slightly amusing to see his friend behave in such a manner, when he was usually cool and unflappable in every and any situation he finds himself. He then nodded to friend's words and said gently. "I suppose I do not have anything bad to say about that, Adrian... she is indeed an attractive woman and there is nothing wrong for desiring her, I suppose."<br/><br/>He then heard his friend pour out his views of the world around him, which is a bit ironic since he is a government official, albeit a minor one that is supposed to love the new laws... but here he is, telling him that he himself also feels that he is soon going to be a slave owner himself for personal reasons. After he heard his friend apologize, James just shook his head and said.<br/><br/>"Not at all, Adrian... I'm no shrink but it is better to get things off your chest before it becomes a problem in the long run, you know what I am saying? And as for forgetting about me... it's no big deal. I can see you had a lot of things on your mind just now, and I too wish to apologize for being rather rude in interrupting your meeting with Mr. Assad."<br/><br/>He paused for a moment and then grinned. "As for me, well... the usual Adrian... things in the hospital is pretty good right now... though we do get the occasional slave coming in to be treated for abuse from their owners... things like this sometimes makes you think about what the world is getting to by passing this law... but the good thing is that the medical field here in Monaco isn't too affected, which I am thankful for. There are many great nurses and doctors in the hospital that are girls... something that would not be seen in other countries."<br/><br/>He then looked at his friend. "What about you, Adrian... things in the government running smoothly on your end?"
