I disagree with the public's decisions and it was a very poor showing, however congratulations to the new Ambassadors of Maurtia Falls.

You will have your hands full dealing with the corruption there. Even if your campaigns were not so focused on dealing with it, that does not make it disappear. Bribery and gifts can only take you so far.

As for myself, I will leave this area and seek a less unpleasant place in which to take up residence. It remains a shame that we cannot generally travel off-world to seek better planets, apart from these rare missions. Your galaxy is very limited.

[ Riza quieted a little, her tail swishing again. Human had a funny, not-human smell, and she couldn't tell if he was actually safe or not. Fortunately, Adachi stuck his head out into the hallway at that moment, blinking over at him. ]

Oh, hey. Riza, it's okay.

[ Riza let out a little huff at that, but took her human dad's word for it, pawing away and rubbing up against Adachi's legs as she went. ]

[generalgrievous]

That was quite the greeting.

[He notes wryly.]

Am I welcome here?

[sleight_of_hand]

Yeah, of course, c'mon in.

[ Adachi waved him over to the "office" portion of the house, showing him into a sitting room, obviously used for talking to clients, or reclining on the couch while working. Riza's curled up on it, staring Grievous down, her tail flicking back and forth, but otherwise not getting up. There's a desk in view, loaded down with a laptop and folders of paperwork, and just beyond that, a small kitchenette for making coffee and small snacks. ]

There's this one down here, or the one upstairs. Upstairs I got a kotatsu, which is nice on the rare days it's cold.

[generalgrievous]

Who else lives here?

[He appears a little on edge, not yet sitting down.]

[sleight_of_hand]

It's just me.

[ Riza let out a faint yip at that. ]

And Riza.

[ Adachi plopped down at his desk, filing away some of his more sensitive paperwork. ]

Iris comes by every now and then. Oh, and since Akira's back, he'll probably stop in a few times too.

[ He should probably mention that Akira's idea of "stopping in" was more breaking in. But does he? Naaaaah. ]

Only rule I have is no going into my files. Client privilege and all that.

[There is a large bag slung over his shoulder. It clanks a bit as he moves.]

I have no interest in your files.

I am only glad to put some distance between myself and Count Dooku.

[sleight_of_hand]

Can't blame you there.

[ Adachi glanced up at the clanking, raising an eyebrow. He has no idea how many weapons he just invited in his house along with Grievous, but whatever. It's not like he didn't have a couple guns in the house. ]

This is a small city, but there's a lot of places to go. Not to mention there's plenty of open spaces on the outskirts or at the beach; plenty of places to go for training.

[generalgrievous]

I know. This is the city they first gave me housing.

[Until he moved to be closer to Dooku.]

The beach...

[He sounds contemplative.]

How far is it from here?

[sleight_of_hand]

Uh... I'd say about a half hour walking? But it's also a straight shot down the road; not that hard to get to.

[generalgrievous]

[He nods agreeably.]

I shall go there later.

Where am I to set myself up here, in your house? Your hospitality is appreciated.

[sleight_of_hand]

[ Adachi paused, thinking it over, before he shrugged. ]

Where ever you want, really. Probably the upstairs living room is best.

If you decide to stay around longer, we can rearrange some rooms up there.

[generalgrievous]

Very well.

I do not need very much space.

[For the most part he doesn't bother to eat or even sleep if he stays in his cyborg form - it only needs minimal rest. He's not thinking about if he remains human for too long.]
