Bob rested his his head in the palm of his sock puppet, effecitvely making it look like it was trying to eat his face or something, but otherwise remained respectfully quiet as Professor Samson entered the conference room.
Once introductions were out of the way he quietly removed his head from the puppet and said: "Would someone please lock tha door already? Dunnae we have security or somethin' so we don't keep gettin' interrupted eh?!"
With that said he gave the professor a warm welcoming smile and offered her a dog biscuit as a welcome gift before turning to Christian and added: "A Bismark will nae be a problem to make adjustments to, it's significantly smaller than a Neph and downscalin' is a lot easier than the other way around aye?
Tha' said, best wait till we're done with ya liner. M'boys are already workin' hard at it though, should'nae take long."
With that Bob turned to address and the rest of the Zoners: "Frankly I'm of a mind to agree with Jilleh!" He glanced briefly at her and added: "I can call ya Jilleh right? Agh I'm sure tis fine." with that he turned back to the rest and continued: "We are Zoners because we are independent, we dunnae care bout the conflicts o' the houses, or others. But tha' dunnae mean we roll over the moment someone forces it on us either. Neutrality is not the same as pacifism, no offense" He nodded briefly in recognition at Sun while chomping down on one of his dog treats before adding: "If anyone, be it a house, the Core, Order or even some outlaw factions threatens us we should be able ta defend ourselves."
