“Yes they are indeed.”  Maggie smiled at him, as she tried to read him, figure him out.  “Nice to meet you too.  I’m Maggie, hello.”
“A pleasure to meet you Ms. Maggie,” he greeted. “It’s rare to find someone so agreeable -- what brings you here?”
“What happens when it finally does come for you? Patience can only get you so far until sooner or later it breaks.”
“It’s been a very long time since it has -- I’ve lived long enough to have developed infinite patience.”
“Romania? Jesus.. I remember visitin’ this place during school break as a kid. Now I’m a fuckin’ slave within the same boundaries. Ironic.”Â
“That seems like a very big school trip,” Asher said, a spark of surprise in his eyes. “But I suppose it’s ironic.”
“I suppose I’m not used to the whole polite thing myself.Â
What’s your name?”
“It’s such a rarity nowadays,” Asher said, scrunching up his nose and frowning. His smile returned though as he answered the other man’s question; “Asher.”
“Asher, what a pleasure. Alexandria, though I’d prefer if you call me Lex.”
“As you wish, Ms. Lex,” he responded, smiling warmly at the other woman.
“Um, thanks?”
He gave her an empathetic smile; “I realize this probably isn’t a pleasant change for you but you should still be treated politely.”
“I supposed time will tell, won’t it? But until then, I’m impressed with your endearing persona.”
“I’m flattered. My name is Asher; who might you be?”
“Can’t quite tell if that’s sarcasm or enthusiasm.”Â
“Enthusiasm I suppose. I would just say I’m being polite though.”
“I’m sorry, can ya say that again? Where are we?”
“Gaemana. Romania if you need a more general pointer.”
“I went to Grecian when I was a kid but I don’t remember it well,” Rodney replied in a light tone, knowing the other could probably care less but it was nonetheless an ice breaker to talk about something you have in common.  "I loved the island but I think it’s going to be better here because of the illusion and the fact that the water is much nicer than at the island,“ he added further with a light chuckle.
“It’s lovely place, isn’t it? Such a shame it’s fallen on such hard times. Once a symbol of sophistication and wealth, now just downtrodden and bankrupt nation. I blame the Romans.” Asher sighed. The blonde was more than a happy to talk of Greece when the subject came up. “Mountain run off is always nice than salt water. I find the salt a bit irritating at times in fact.”
“Seems a little desperate, having to stir up some drama for ones self and all. I much prefer to watch someone else’s. After awhile the relaxing part turns into the boring part and you are left with multiple choices.”
“I wouldn’t disagree with you there but it’s an option if the boredom becomes to weighing,” said Asher, shrugging his shoulders. “I’m a patient man I suppose -- boredom does not come easily to me.”
“It’s no trouble,” Rodney assured the other with a smile.  "How do you like it here so far?  I find that it’s more secluded than the island due to the illusion of this being a toxic waste dump that the mortals see instead of what’s actually here,“ he added.
Asher smiled; he had no intention of taking Rodney up on his offer of help -- he could handle himself quite well, thank you very much. If he couldn’t, then he wouldn’t have been alive so long. “I’m not from the island myself -- I’ve always preferred to stay in Europe myself; the warmest weather I like to deal with is Grecian but I’m not sure if that’s because it’s not that bad or if it’s because of sentimentality.”
“Yes, it’s always an adventure of some sort.  It seems like it’s a nice place.  Oh I always appreciate a good adventure.  And who might you be?”
“Adventures are wonderful things,” he said, tilting his head in agreement. “I’m Asher, nice to meet you. And you?”
“Now, I want to be impressed but I’m sure it’s just part of your charm.”
“I am a charming fellow -- naturally though, not supernaturally.”
“Is that so? Suppose not all men are pigs after all, what a lovely surprise.”
Asher chuckled, his face splitting in a large grin. “Men have been, as a whole, pigs since the dawn of time. I’m fortunately an exception.”
“I also happen to be the head siren so if you have any issues, questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to come to me,” Rodney offered with a friendly nod.  "It’s a pleasure to meet you Asher.  Please, just call me Rodney.  If you say mister, it reminds me of my father,“ he said with a laugh.
“I’ll make sure to keep that in mind if it ever arises,” he said, he said smiling, though there was something strangely cold about his expression. Distant, perhaps. “My apologies -- a habit I’ve yet to drop but I’ll try to remember in the future.”
“Are you the official welcoming committee?”
“No, I’m just a man with manners.”
