"But of course. My schedule is open for that date. I will have the necessary paperwork drawn up by my people before that time."
Xanatos filled in the space on his calendar to show that the day was taking up for "personal matters." He gave it a final click before the screen returned to black.
"Expect me in the lobby of Stratoform at, oh, ten o'clock. Oh, and I'll bring along a bottle of Caberat from my private stock, shall I? For the celebration of our deal."
Xanatos' pleased tone remained the same. He might be acting a little arrogant, but he knew enough about Stratoform and Stark to know they would sign the deal. It was just too good to pass up.
"I shall see you then, Mr. Stark. I truly look forward to it."
With that, Xanatos cut the connection with a grin on his bearded face. Yes, things were working out quite well.

"Looking forward to meeting you, Mr. Xanatos," Tony said in a cheerful tone, just before the connection was cut.
After the call was ended, GLaDOS chimed in from the ceiling speakers, "I hope you didn't actually fall for that act."
"Figured you'd be eves-dropping," Tony said with a grimace, "your thoughts?"
"Shrewd, manipulative, deceptive," GLaDOS said in her usual frank monotone, "I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out he was hiding something."
"My thoughts exactly," Tony said, rising from his chair, "He's practically handing us the entire cirque on a silver platter. And you know how I feel about silver platters."
"Indeed," GLaDOS answered, "Shall I run a background check?"
"Don't bother, a guy like that isn't likely to leave a paper trail we could follow."
"That sounds...problematic."
"I'm not too worried, we'll know everything we need to know about him after I introduce him to you."
"I see," GLaDOS said thoughtfully, "hence your invitation to tour our facility."
"Exactly," Tony said, emptying his glass, "just be sure to be discrete."
"I always am," GLaDOS answered calmly.
