<strong> Hector Cobblepot, with Valerie and Roxanne at the bar</strong><br/><br/>Hector was regarding Valerie curiously, wondering what plans she was devising for explaining his exploits to the crowds around them. He really hoped that she would not include her own experiences when she started to tell people as he had the odd feeling that it would not end well for him. The approach of Roxanne surprised and unnerve him, especially when she spoke to him directly. He did not recall ever being introduced to her directly but he expected that her high status in the establishment allowed her access to the information that would allow her to know him by sight.<br/><br/>Before he could speak up and respond to Roxanne, he noticed that Valerie was speaking and he listened, partly curious and partly dreading what she would say. The words that slipped from her mouth made him glance at Roxanne more than once, awaiting some kind of explosion on her part that would likely bring her around and smack him. The only thing he could do was nod and focus on his drink, keeping his mouth busy so that he wouldn’t mutter anything that could be incriminating as his nerves started to get to him.<br/>
