All the Alicia. ;-) This Richard is a little darker than the one you remember. More affected by the war. I could see an old friendship here. He probably still calls her Spins or Spinner. Maybe Uncle Rich dropped by occasionally when he was in town with things from exotic places for the twins. He's contributed to the Foundation as well if she keeps his donations secret. Is Ali an investor in the rebirth of the Bluebottle company? She may have been his source of healing supplies during the war and probably a little training where creature healing didn't cover the technique.
Melinda probably knows his as the polite guy with the sweet tooth - a regular customer. He'll pick up a bag or two of goodies on the days he goes in to the office. He's turned most of the office into regular customers when he isn't around to cater to their cravings. What did you have in mind for a business partnership?
He'd probably categorize Rose as too young, so while friendly there'd be a certain distance to him. He is good at reading people and probably sees that she is a smart cookie. I'm up for just about anything with them.
