The Best for the Best

[Aristaan]

James took a moment to consider things, and with careful tailoring, gave a surprising response with a small grin. "It would be free for any friend of mine. All costs can easily be covered, there's no price on life, though we try to give it such. Unfortunately, bounties are our ways of doing so. For one, each life is just another person in the universe. To another, that person could mean the world." Gritting his teeth slightly, the agony of his memories returned, putting a distinct fire behind his words. As he regained his composure, he struggled to get his words out. "That person, for me, was my mother. She meant everything, but fate took her from me." As his youth continued to haunt him, he did his best to maintain his bearing, leaving only traces of rage in his speech. "It's easier to keep people hidden when they don't have a paper trail, and thus their essentials will be provided. So if this is where you choose, I'll make arrangements to ensure everything they need is provided; through proxy of course. We wouldn't want them to be too spoiled." As they continued down the pedestrian sector of the street into the city, the Doctor looked all around, the efficiency of the system in place clearly showing. "Reasonably, an entry-level, working salary is enough to support a family here. The economy is quite vast, and employers can afford to take care of their employees quite well. So even if you decline my previous offer, sustenance is both plausible and sustainable." Feeling a little nervous, James took a drink from his flask, putting it back into his coat pocket. "I'm aware this is entirely your decision, but I do wish for the best scenario possible." As they continued walking, they passed many shops and restaurants as they passed into the city square. The entirety of the city wasn't overly populated, but there were certainly enough people for a variety of opportunity. Business was good, and the well kept streets and landscaping was testament to it. "Well, have you seen enough?" The Doctor leaned on his cane with great exhaustion, hoping the day would end for the sake of his rest. Taking another drink from his flask, he hoped Anna's response would be ideal.
