He nodded politely at his intern and offered his hand for Mr. Banner to shake. A formality with an added bonus of a small smile for Gabriel's sake. "It's good to see you, Mr. Banner." He reached for his coffee, "I must say...I have been quite impressed with your publication thus far. How is the Quill going?"
Yes, he knew it by name. In fact, he had his assistant get every copy for him since the original that Gabriel had sent him. Gabe returned the handshake firmly. Something else he'd learned from the man sitting in front of him.
"Likewise, Mr. Emerson." Pause.
"Have you eaten anything today? Did you want to order something....besides coffee?" It was difficult not to slip back into intern mode...as Gabe had seen to these more menial tasks in his post. And he vividly remembered the heart attack, okay? His concern wasn't without reason.
"...and thank you. It's been going well. We're looking at different ideas to increase reader interaction." Perhaps Mr. Emerson had ideas...
