I think the line is 'what we have here is a failure to communicate'.

[He likely can smell that the teenager is a werewolf himself, and considering the fact that Isaac is currently living in an abandoned subway, though he's been keeping himself cleaned and impeccably well groomed, the scents on the teen would, were they from the same universe, indicate 'bone gnawer', though in Isaac's own world there weren't such distinctions between werewolves.]

Maybe if I was quoting a movie.

And why are we communicating again?

[Aside from Isaac being pretty sure he should run tell Derek about the new wolf in town. Or at least, new to Isaac's knowledge. He is, of course, ignoring the fact that this conversation started when he invaded this guy's personal space, curious about the scent.]

Happens a lot t'some of us.

We aren't. [He isn't new to town. He's an old wolf coming from old money. Famous in some circles even. As the chairman of his Garou brethren he is the top dog in the world of Glass Walking werewolves in this city.] Was there something you needed?

Happens a lot. Strange isn't it? In the ever changing world of communication and ways to communicate we communicate less.

Hard t'say much in a hundred an' fifty characters or thereabouts. Easy t'avoid eye contact. Seems people are content t'live with as little as possible now, far as communication goes.

Twitter. [He shakes his head and laughs.] I'll admit, I tweet. I guess it's easy but I'd never trust a man who can't make eye contact with me. Then again people tend to be afraid to let anyone really see them. Everyone has a skeleton they are trying to hide.

Aye. We've all got a skeleton or two. May I ask what brought on the question in communication?

Musing over a predicament I find myself in. What it boils down to is a lack of communication.

And that, my friend, may cost someone millions.

Millions... is quite a bit o' money. Here's t'people learnin' to communicate, 'specially in business.

Guess that it is. As an investment opportunity it would have been a good deal. I just don't lend my money or my input to the corrupt. Their loss.

Seems a sound business decision t'me. I've never been that good with the business end o' things though. That what ya do though? Y'invest money in things?

Should probably introduce m'self. Name's Noah MacGreggor.

Nah, not entirely. Have a company of my own that I pretend to run. My passion is innovation though so I like to get in on the ground floor of a good new idea or concept.

Ashley Cromwell. Friends call me Ash.

Good t'meet you Ashley.

Technology is always changin' so I suppose your passion keeps ya busy, aye?

When I want it to, sure. Surfing is what really keeps me busy. Take a lot of meetings on the beach.

Sounds very pleasant. I've not been to the beach all that much. Always looks nice in theory though.

It can be. Can't count how many phones I've lost to the waves. Gotta make time for the fun things in life, man.

Or, find somethin' ya love t'do and get pair for it.

What is it you do, Noah?

M'an artist... mostly known for sketch an' charcoal work but I sell a few pastels an' the like on occasion. Not quite as excitin' as business meetin's on the beach.

Have a gallery?

Aye. Over on Long Beach. Been awhile since I've done an open show though... almost a year.

Which Long Beach? Cali? You don't look like a California boy to me.

Nay, New York. But I'm more an Irishman at heart than a New Yorker. D'ya enjoy art, Mr. Cromwell?
