After a brief conversation with someone else, Drusilla had decided to stay in the Forum for a little bit and look around the busy commercial district. Most of the time, her interest strays to any market booths that offer books.
The young woman might stand out a little, as she is dressed in Victoria-era clothing. But she moves with comfort and ease through the Forum, as if she has been here before.
Eventually, she finds a place to sit down with a few of the books she had purchased. Carefully, even while wearing gloves, Drusilla flips through the pages of the book with interest.
"It would be so interesting to travel to the places one finds in books. I wonder, where the line between fictional and reality truly blend?"

"Food for thought. I've been known to make occasional arrangements for real estate here, from time to time." He feigns embarrassment, adding, "ah, but where are my manners? Schön W. Freund, at your service."

Schön bows over her hand, not quite bringing it to his lips. "Ms. Kent, a pleasure." When he lets go, she'll find a business card with his name on it tucked into her hand.
"I help people find spaces suited to their needs, secure those spaces from unwanted intrusion, and help keep them from being shuffled around in the fluid geography." He preens just a little in the course of sweeping off his hat.

"It sounds like a challenging job. I would have never thought to worry about changes in the geography."

The card is white, untextured, with the name "Schön W. Freund" in embossed black letters. Under his name, in smaller letters, the word "Entrepeneur." Along the bottom edge of the card, in glossy white (and thus, only visible when they catch the light) are a series of numbers--a phone number or PINpoint ID, most likely.
"It's one of the peculiarities of doing business in the Nexus. There aren't many places like it, and one must learn by doing."

"I would imagine it would take a lot of courage and dedication to set up a shop here."

"Only if one views the Nexus as a strange and frightening place. To some, it seems an ideal opportunity."

"Oh?" he asks. "That sounds like the prelude to a story, and I am ever so fond of stories."

"My parents met in the Nexus, when they were young teenagers. They both come from different worlds, and never would have had the opportunity to meet each other without that connection."
"They faced a lot of struggles and challenges through their relationship. And met a lot of good friends along the way."
"I am so grateful that they took me and my brother into their family."

"How gratifying, that your story can be a part of theirs."

"Why, it's practically part of the family."
