Alfonse nodded at the pair as they left. He cast a barrier on the front entrance, preferring solitude for the moment and relishing the quiet. He settle onto a couch and picked up a bagel, pulling out a little jar of honey he kept for himself, and drizzled it onto a bagel. He hummed to himself as he bit into it, put on his half rimmed spectacles, picked up a newspaper, glancing at the headline, and flipping open to the finances. 

 [color=f7976a]”Hm, guess I should drop them, maybe invest in their competitor.”[/color] He muttered, making notes directly on the paper. [color=f7976a]“And now who can I exploit next?”[/color] He flipped through other sections, circling names and making notes about prospective payments. This side of the territory could use a few nicer touches frankly. 

He cast a critical eye around the room. Definitely hardwood floors, a bigger desk and a better chair, repaint the inside, update the appliances…

[color=f7976a]”Perhaps I should suggest I find better accommodations altogether.”[/color] He said as he made a list on his phone. The list would grow far too quickly otherwise. He looked back at the notes he’d made over the paper, double marking individuals with the resources to either upgrade their current area or give them something new completely.
