Vanessa, yeah. Vanessa Kaye. [ Not Keene - hasn't been Keene for years now. And excuse her for not offering a handshake, Andy, she's just gonna go ahead and have a sip of her beer instead and eye you over the rim of the glass. ] You met my partner, Kasper. He gave you the tour the other day.
Pleasure to meet you, [he nods once, lips pressed together, fingers toying with his own glass. His brows raise and he gains a new spirit when she mentions the name, pointing vaguely,] Oh, yeah - Kasper. He's a really nice guy. Very helpful.
[If a bit challenged in the attention span section.]
[ For such a stoic hard-ass it's amazing how much Vanessa's expression changes when someone compliments Kasper. The frown lines soften, she almost smiles - and there's certainly more than a few notes of fondness in her voice as she murmurs: ] Yeah, that's Kasper. You guys'll all get to know each other pretty well over the next couple of months. [ The smile grows more certain, more assured. ] You can count on him.
