It’s real easy.” It wasn’t like he’d be stealing visitors away for a quick fuck just to promote the house. It was all marketing – making him look available (which he is) and bookable, all super easy manageable things.
“Client – House relations, I think’s what the Flood called it. Easiest part’ve the job. So I do get to enjoy the fair, too, don’t worry.” He drawls through another cloud of smoke. “You said you were doin’ pony rides or somethin’?”
