Who would I be to refuse the assistance of so noble a gift as assistance in procuring embroidered finery?
[Stop flirting David, that's not the point. Geez. He keeps smiling and mostly, he's trying to focus. He nods to Balthier as the man moves away, and returns to sipping his own tea. When Balthier returns David has already moved his seat closer because, yes, conspiring here.
Though if he knew about the rose water concern, he'd point out frilly stores that offered such things, or just make it himself for the man.]
First, going to say if your wardrobe is filled with things like these, maybe don't consider Little Love. You'll stand out a lot in the country. Now, business. Excelsior seems to be the tech capital of this country, and one of the places that have been offered to us. Given my powers and what I'd want to do in my free time, this is my primary place of contention other than Central City. I'll be here or there. I've already had a chance to scope what things are like there. Here...
[He shrugs.]
Increased tech means increased monitoring in a place like this. Bart and I worked on trying to figure out how much there is on cameras in a public space. Given his powers, he could easily watch my back. But I need to check some internal stuff. What the average is with businesses and the like. Unfortunately as these will be spaces that are more controlled I won't be able to just stand around interfacing with stuff, I have to be quick in and out, delving to put in backdoors for me to hack somewhere secure later.
And that means I need people not looking at me for brief bursts of time. I need them to be looking at something else. Someone else.
[So he gestures at Balthier.]
Someone likely used to finding, and getting away from, attention.
