John nodded politely and glanced at Abby, his
expression indicating he didn't believe a word of it. 
"Of course, Price.  It's so obvious to me now."  He
considered the creature before him, wondering how he
could try and have more fun with him.

"So you've recently arrived to Gotham, is that
correct?"  He glanced at Abby.  "Did I mention I'd
only been hear a few months myself.  I'm only now
settling in.  I have to say that the city has grown on
my.  It seems to be a wonderful place.  And half the
fun of going someplace different is making new
friends."

He raised his glass in a toast and took a drink.
