[ Apollo shakes his hand with a warm, broad one of his own. ]
Apollo. Good to meet you.
[ He nods backwards over his shoulder at the rest of the gala unfolding behind his back. ]
Sorry about the circumstances. I'd say 'try and enjoy it' but...
[ He tails off with a rueful shrug. Apollo might be able to tolerate the weird brand of imPort idolisation in this world, but that doesn't mean he likes it. Back home there had been something vicious about the way the press treated the Authority - how they would turn from fawning to scathing at the drop of a hat - but here in Nonah they were on the pleasant side of obsessive. As necessary evils go it's a nice change for Apollo, but he knows it's not for everyone. ]
Welcome, anyway. I've only been here a month but it's not all like this, I promise.
