Understandable, if unfortunate, that they allow their zeal to colour events and their perceptions of the Regent. [This is why Crane stayed away from religion. Well, one of them. There are a multitude.] However, reading between the lines is a skill I have cultivated.
[He did legitimately earn that psychology degree, even if it was later revoked once his experiments on the Arkham population got out and his real career began in earnest.]
Xishen...yes, I do believe I have heard the name. Our most senior Aion. Where can she usually be found? In case I have any clarifications that I feel she could help me make.
Hm. The cost of books had already occurred to me, but I see I was right to be concerned. No matter. If I have need of a specific tome, I'm sure it's procurement could be arranged. [Which ties in nicely to the next phase of the conversation...]
It isn't my favourite line of work, but the money is reasonable, and makes my larger, more interesting projects possible. Gotham City had no shortage of junkies and the market for providers was always in flux. [Thanks to a certain caped crusader...] In this, I believe Achamoth will be very good for business, so long as I keep the Regent's few directives in mind.
[And of course, Crane's payment need not be monetary in that case, especially if the client has other skills that might be useful...and Crane has his eyes on a particular volume. As long as no one is hurt, especially a child, the Regent's not likely to bat an eye.]
