Good afternoon. Yes, thank you.
[With that exchange done, Puck as Owen steps inside. He allows his gaze to take in the cottage for a moment as if seeing it for the first time, but his expression remains neutral. He clears his throat softly and speaks again.]
With my work finished for the day, I wanted to see how you've been. It's been a while since we last spoke, my apologies for being scarce.
[100% business professional. Apologize, even if you don't mean it, state your intent clearly. Puck could almost do the routine in his sleep.]
