You're thanking me, retroactively, for my hospitality.

You're welcome?

I suggest you find Alicent if you have any more thanks to give.

[kobes]

who?

nevermind, doesn't matter - i did have business to discuss, per my guardian.

[interpersonally]

Business of what nature, Koby?

[kobes]

you're gonna make me type it all out? ughhhhhhhghggghgdskksaklal

fine. she wants a share in the vineyard and/or exclusive rights to established vintages to serve in her european holdings. she's willing to negotiate.

[interpersonally]

You're the one who sent me a message. You didn't call. You didn't knock, or god forbid approach me in public like a person.

And you're acting as her proxy. You.

[kobes]

i'm preoccupied. everyone texts first these days, stef, its the new millennium.

yup. do you see her anywhere around?

[interpersonally]

Cut to the chase, I have a meeting.

Jesus, Koby.

Why does she think I would give her a cut into the vineyard over my own flesh and blood? Not to mention, it's not her style. I've been to Alvida's.

( this is more for curiosity's sake, katherine is fighting him for it as we speak. on damon's behalf? not really. on hers. he's not opposed to this plan, a lot less for it coming from a twenty year-old. but, he also needs to shore up more than just blind offers from children.

he does need to make moves but he needs to evaluate properly. )

[kobes]

a meeting? on vacation? you gotta learn to relax.

cause things are a mess and she knows it. she's opportunistic. like a vulture.
and if you've been there, you know how popular it is. people love trash, they eat it up.
she's trying to rebrand, though, get a little classier, high-end clientele.

why do you think i'm HERE?

the meeting is 100% fucking the former family doctor

[interpersonally]

And the minute I ask for your advice, you're free to dole it out. In the meantime, enjoy yours. Vacation, that is. Not advice. Though you're free to take your own and leave me out of it.

Tell me, why do you think you know what you're talking about?

And please, do tell me you aren't here to negotiate a contract for shares of a vineyard I now own 100% of. Tell me you're JUST following at my son's feet, and not going behind his back trying to jockey for relevance on behalf of your tasteless adoptive mother. Tell me that's not true, Koby.

And if you hope to gain anything from this except for a life lesson, they're better be a prospectus on hand.

live ur bliss stef

[kobes]

i'm not on vacation. [too quick, snippy; because this isn't a pleasure trip for him.]

and i've been coordinating negotiations since before i could drive. i know what i'm doing.

...but this time i was just trying to get into your pants, so.
sorry for not having a powerpoint ready.

he's trying
