And after the debate, I'm even more thankful. I mean, I can't imagine how Reynold's manager will dig him out, being dunked and all." What he was trying to say it that he was pleased to be working with Erik Vinteren. Even if he wasn't that chatty. At least he'll talk in public. Most people have the opposite problem.

Bjorn sighed. "Yes, it seems to have blown up in my face after all, eh? That is to say, OUR faces, of course." He gave a small chuckle of indulgence. "And yes, honesty is usually the best policy with such things. She is to be commended for that, of course."

As Erik leaned in, Bjorn mirrored his movements. Good, he had some sense, at least. "Oh? Are you on friendly terms with Schirmer?" Getting to know the opposition. Forward thinker, this one.

Once more clasping his wand within his jacket, he made a quick motion and thought Muffliato!, which would prevent them being overheard by anyone in the near vicinity. "My friend, they say a magician never reveals his own secrets. It's best if you don't know." With a wink, he finished. "Two words: Plausible deniability." Yes, it was best if Erik didn't know that he had added Babbling Beverage to certain drinks backstage.

Berg had been nervous to meet Erik? That was what he liked to hear. The blonde man's smile grew a little, into a smirk you could say. He wanted to ask more about their shared....acquaintance, but had a feeling the Three Broomsticks was not the place to bring him up.

"Reynold's manager looks just as incompetent as he is," Erik waved off that anxiety. He wasn't concerned about the blind book store manager. He'd already dug the dirt on him and spread some of it too, and it had been successful, since the man had addressed it at the debate.

Erik tried not to look confused as Berg mis?used the word 'our' ... what did he mean by 'it' blew up? What was it? He had his suspicions, but when the man leaned in too...they were all confirmed.

"Not Schirmer," he shook his head but didn't elaborate. Plausible deniability? He was lucky Erik was a master of many languages, because that was as good as an American 'pleading the fifth.' "I see," he said quietly. Erik allowed a moment of silence to fall between them as he finished his firewhiskey before speaking again. "Mr. Berg, I vink we will get along very nicely this campaign season..."

He smiled again.
