"Ah my dear, there's no hill that's impossible to overtake, except the one you fail to try." He made "tsk" sound and set the glass down. "I heard that somewhere once, but for the life of me can't recall where." He gestured to the seat next to him. "Please join me. I'd be interested in hearing about any potential clients or rivals I might have in the fair city."
His voice was smoothe, and he had not a drop of nerves present as he spoke. In fact, when mentioning the word 'rivals' he added an almost sense of wonderment to his statement, like a child awaiting the unwrapping of a long-awaited present.
