"Thank you." Augustin sat down in one of the comfortable chairs in front of Leon's desk. He smiled as he took one of the offered cigarettes. "Things are going very well I think. I'm settling quite nicely."

He looked up to the Ambassador and nodded, the smile not fading. "Thank you. That means a lot coming from you. I am very grateful you've given me this opportunity to help you, and help the People." So perfect, so rehearsed, the words came to Augustin like a pro. "I would not wish to repay your kindness by doing a job that reflect ill upon you."
