There are always quite a few tourist this time of the year, all sorts of odd people from the four corners of the world gathering to admire the displays. But one visitor has come a bit farther than most, or indeed any of the patrons that afternoon. And he is enjoying himself IMMENSELY more ( Read more... )

[It's a good thing for an up and coming politician to have the appearance of being Cultured, even if the real reason the Master - Harold Saxon, here and now - is there is to people-watch, and not idly; to see if he can spot any influences of the Archangel Network. Of course, it hasn't reached full penetration yet, but there are always early adopters, and this is one place that might have a slightly higher percentage of them.

[Ohhhh, now there's a loaded question, but it's best weighed philosophically. Or at least, approached cautiously. But he accepts the unneeded help standing.]

Well.... [he shrugs, grinning conspiratorially] Sometimes there are more important things than sitting in a classroom for hours on end. You know they never take us anywhere!

You lot, you do field trips and exchange programs. We almost never leave the cit- ...grounds. [coughs] It's not encouraged anyway.

[he smiles and dusts off the Master's front before sidestepping him and heading towards the painting] Sorry again!
