I find that for those of us who conduct our business with and around people with a flare for the dramatic, it does serve one well to stand out.
In any case, I'm in the market for a particular skill set at short notice and regrettably was called on to multi-task, hence the state of my correspondence.
See, I knew I had the correct recipient! And you were not easy to track down, let me tell you.
Now, if you ask me, I would say the wealth of the priest depends entirely on the congregation, but I have a suspicion you're not the sort who moves in such an echelon, padre.
So the real question here is whether you would *like* to be a wealthy priest.
I don't mean to offend, but I had a bloodied note sent to your address and you responded. I think we're well past the point of acting like either of us run in good circles.
And for those of us in these particular circles, there are only a few true currencies, I find: money, power, fame, leverage, and thrills.
But if you want to tell me you work under a different economy, well, I am all ears!
( sent first and punctuated by a slight delay. truthfully speaking, marc can't argue. there's a reason he keeps a list of PEOPLE with UNSAVOURY REPUTATIONS that have THINGS he might like to steal now that he no longer has the income to pay for them.
power and fame have never meant anything. redemption's the thing that he claims to want the most, something to alleviate his conscience, the guilt, the everything, but ultimately it comes down to the thrill of it. it always has, even if the shape and form have differed slightly over the years.
there's a satisfaction to what he does.
in spite of that, though, marc's very good at avoidance.
And I suspect, charming or otherwise, I fall very comfortably into your specific type of clientele. After all, I am really quite thorough when preparing to make proportions, Mr. Spectre.
No. While I tend to conduct my business at all hours, I prefer people travel to me whenever possible, especially at night. There are dangerous people out there, you understand.

My particular skill set hasn't been for hire for a few years now.
How many wealthy priests have you met?

I've never known good to run in those circles.
So the question, pal, is if that's all you can offer.

I've received less elegant valentines.

Just keep that in mind.

I'll keep that in mind.
But surely there's what falls under your protection and what falls under other possible services.
Unless this is some kind of riddle in which case... I'd really rather it not be.
