Not nearly as much as I would have hoped; they haven't been particularly thrilled with me, either, you know. I've been a little more vocal with them since my return; perhaps it was a mistake, perhaps it wasn't, but I can't say I was pleased with the state of things upon my return and I saw no reason to not make that perfectly clear.

Things seem to have blown over in that regard, but the results were far from truly favorable.

[...hm.]

I may have a proposal for you to consider, however; it needs to be discussed with an associate of mine first, of course, but it's something Kato was on board with before he left - and I see no reason why we couldn't use someone of your talent, should what we want to do be carried through.

I'll likely be in contact with you about it soon enough, should you not mind.
