"Milo Jefficks" Milo said shaking her hand with a
friendly smile. Which was all that he could really
muster considering the events that had come to pass.
It was a good thing that he could manage to be cordial
at all right now.

Milo gave a handshake and nod to each. Maintaing the
smile through out. Though he didn't feel the warmth
within that usualy fueled such facial reactions. "I am
glad to meet your friends then Marissa." He siad.

"I am sorry I was here.." He siad simply, she didn't
seem to hold that against him. He was glad, since
there was no way to help that really.

"I'm an antiquer, appraising rare artifacts and
such... I'm afraid your old man is a boring type." He
siad giving her a weak grin. He wasn't sure about
telliing her the whole truth yet. And certainly not
with all these people around. He wanted to know more
about her and Sara. He needed to get to know his
daugther, to remeber Sara... "So tell me about Sara..
Was she happy? It had been so long since I had seen
her." He siad sadly.
