"Mr Sagert. What a pleasant surprise. I hope I find you well?"
"Well indeed, I am glad to say," and that is perhaps a touch effusive, but-- well, it is a lovely day.
"I hope Excolo is treating you well. You came through - recent events - without too much trouble, I hope?"
"Ah," I say, and manage to keep my face out of a smile. It would not do to seem overly pleased with recent events, as I can hardly explain that I have been able to begin work again. "I am afraid my window was rather damaged, which may take some time to repair." Glass is not exactly lying around for the taking. "But no trouble to speak of. I do think the worst of it was the flooding," and I still have no idea what could have caused that. Perhaps a peculiar thaw pattern, some swell of groundwater... "And yourself?"
