He shot her a smile, taking the cigar and took a long puff.

He let the smoke slowly coil around himself. His eyes watching the boy
before him. Was he in league with the dark Aeons, who, instead of
freeing the world and the people, wanted to forever subjugate them in
misery and eternal servitute? Well, at least they were frank about it, a
point for them, unlike those entities masquerading as beneficient
powers. What was better, the stick or the carrot?
"Ass you might now, ssere 'ass been a lot going on in Darktown. Sse
battle sseemss over for now and tonight sse 'ood iss quiet."
He took another puff from the cigar.

"But you might alsso know, ssat while mes filles sstruggled on sse
sstreetss, I wass away." He paused. "I 'ad to go and meet ssomeone." The
way he said 'someone' made it clear that that 'someone' was not an
ordinary person. "Now ssat I am back, I ssee ssat a lot 'ass 'appened in
sse sstreetss of Gossam. Much ssat mes filles didn't notisse. Sso I need
information. Why 'ave sse tongss invaded Darktown, what 'appened in
Chinatown, what iss sse Family up to?" He leaned forward. "And mosst
importantly, 'ave you any idea, where sse Rattlessnake Bitchess 'ave
slissered to?"
