<strong>Victor Orestes, in the lobby deal with new arrivals</strong><br/><br/>Victor regarded Penny for a moment but did not fall apart at the sudden verbal lashing. He had suspected that these first few times with customers would be difficult as he was not familiar with them and they were not familiar with him. And he also felt that Tom might be testing him with these first few, giving him the hard ones or the tempting ones, as with Lilith, so see if he was really up to the task.<br/><br/>Victor kept an even tone and bowed slightly. “Apologies Miss Macnamara but it was Miss Cassidy that referred to you as property and so it was my general understanding and assumption that such was your public title. Thank you for removing your weapons. All are handled with great care, tagged and sorted. I hope you enjoy your stay.”<br/><br/>Not wanting to continue the discussion with these two as they seemed to be trying to lure him into their verbal traps, at least he got the feeling considering the looks they exchanged when Penny had verbally lashed out at him. Glancing at Tom who seemed to be in his own little world, something that didn’t surprise Victor at all since it seemed that Marie knew exactly what she was doing, before he grabbed the weapons and headed for the back lockers to meet with George and hand over the items to be tagged and sorted.<br/>
