While the stranger was gettin a beer from the fridge, Arthur said, "You can pull up a chair from the dining room. Then we can get to the bottom of your, ahhemm, visit." Once the stranger got seated near Arthur, he expressed his appreciation for the beer. "Thank you, Arthur. I am grateful to you for sharing a beer with me. You know, the act of sharing has many different meanings in many different cultures! But I like to think of it as a means of building trust between individuals. Would you agree? "I'm not sure that will apply to this situation, but yes, I can understand how it would lead to people letting their guard down once they begin to fall under the influence. I have had a few unfortunate experiences in that respect that I remember from my youth and some I would just as soon forget!" "Lets just focus on the here and now, shall we, Arthur." "Yes. Lets do that. And by the way, how do you know my name and also, what is your name if I might be so bold as to ask?" "Your name has been known to me longer than you would care to know. It has been the main reason I am here with you tonight. But as to my name, you may call me Michael." M4 characters. Rendered in Poser pro 11.1. Post work in Photoshop 7. Thank you for taking a peek!
