Gyres shrugged a little. “People are idiots, what can I say?” Really, what could he say? He was actually trying to think of something better to say but the words just couldn’t ever reach him.

Gyres was certainly intrigued by Kon mentioned that they were pardon for some illegal activities before coming to the island, and from what they were saying they actually might enjoy going such activities again. “Villainy has its own thrills certainly but it is quite frustrating. More often than not the goodie two shoes bests you and your back at square one. That has its benefits though, as you learn what to improve next attempt.”

"I don't believe that. If everyone was an idiot, I'd have a lot fewer friends and trusted colleagues. It sounds like you just spoke to the wrong people." As an eternal optimist, it was Kon's job to always believe in the best in people. Most of the time. He knew not everyone did their best, so he was working on telling when someone wasn't worth bothering with.

"I never had issues with heroes besting me. My dad, on the other hand, did. If you know about the nek0s, you get the idea. I worked as a secretary for my dad. He was an information broker who would provide information for gangs in Japan. Acted as a neutral, anonymous figure. The only thrills I got was from helping him with his work. Also, I'm happy to hear you take failing as a learning opportunity. Though..." Kon let out a giggle, "in that case it wasn't good."

"Ah optimism if truly a blessing to have isn't it?" Gyres had still had his smile from before plastered over his face. It's as if his smile was something that just could not be removed. Gyres often aspired to have the same optimism Kon had, but even for him it was a struggle.

"Actually I am not familiar with these Nek0s. Are you one of them?" Gyres had suprisingly not heard of the the nek0s before. It was good learn up on what happened on the island and on it's inhabitants.

"It keeps an otherwise dark world bright form me," he replied as a way of agreeing.

"And yes, I am. Was. I don't think I truly count as one anymore. I made too many body modifications, but that's a whole other thing. Anyways, we're bioengineered humans who were given cat features and made to be slaves in the Narrow Reality underground market. The first group of us who were saved came here at the start of this year."

Gyres listened carefully to Kon explain what Nek0s actually were. Quite frankly he couldn’t have cared less about the sob story of being a freed slave but it was still good information. “Ah I think I understand now. Thank you for sharing that information, I’m sure it will be useful. Anyways if you desire business advice I still may be able to help, though I don’t know to what degree.” Offering help was a crucial step to building trust with others. Gyres was going to try his best to build trust with the people of Manta Carlos, so he could yank the rug out under them later.

"Useful?" Kon only explained because he asked. Did he mean it was just nice to know?

"...To get back to the point, the business advice I'm after is more about how to run a business. This is my first time running anything so big. Recently I've been working on gaining respect. I had to make a new form for it, even. Lately, I've been doing well with all of that. On another note, I think you would do better as a volunteer. I don't know how helpful you would be outside of that."

Gyres didn’t say anything once what he actually meant by the information being useful, instead going on to Kon’s desire for advice. “Ahhh yes I get it. Running a big organization is a scary thing certainly. Respect is a primary factor in those that succeed and those who fail. Making your suboridantes respect you is good. If they don’t respect you why would they do as you ask? I’ll think about your volunteer offer although I will be honest I doubt I could help. I’m usually very busy and what not. Oh! One more thing. Keep in mind all business are run differently what works for one organization may not work for another one.”

Kon nodded along to Gyres words, though there was a hint of frustration on his face as he responded. "It is. Aside from some bumps in the road," like with his age, "I've been doing great with respect. And yes, I'm aware that not all businesses are run the same." That advice was so simply Kon was certain that Gyres was talking down to him.

"If you didn't think you had the time, why did you say you were looking for business partners? We would need to work closer as business partners and regularly communicate, whereas a volunteer would be able to help out whenever they please"

Was Kon's pride getting to him? Yes. Was he suspicious as all hell with Gyres? Yes. And so, the next thing he said was not entirely planned: "It's almost like you're more interested in me than my organization." He looked down at Gyres with a playful smirk on his face. "So the question is, in what way are you interested in me? And if I can add another one, is it something that should be spoken about away from open ears?"

Gyres was only half listening to what Kon was saying, more focused on how he would cook his meat when he got back to the nest. That was until Kon started saying very worrying things about Gyres being more interested in Kon rather than Kon’s buisness. Oh shit. Well it was time to try some of the Gyres charm, hopefully he still had it. “Well what can I say Kon? Your an interesting fellow, and I greatly enjoy interesting people. However if you wish to discuss things more privately that can be arranged.” Gyres gave a wide smile to Kon, it’s friendliness was somehow gone, now blatant mask.

Kon noted how Gyres' smile was significantly faker now. That didn't bother him. In fact, it made him feel better for keeping his smile looking genuine.

"While I'm happy you consider me interesting, I prefer people to be more upfront with their intentions. So, how about we arrange this private meeting? Shall we go home, put away our food, then reconvene?"
