OOC: Yep, as far as I know, the only characters other than mine who have seen Slade are Fisher and Grace.

IC:

Fisher sat down in the chair Slade had indicated. "I'm here on business, Mr. Slade. It seems that one of your minions - Daniel, I believe - is searching for a boy named David. A boy I myself would be very interested to meet and ... employ, I suppose is the proper word."
He paused, hoping Slade would take the hint: that Dave was off limits to him... unless, perhaps, Slade intended to take the boy for similar purposes...

Slade was silent for a few minutes. Then he spoke, "Yes, that is correct. Olivia overheard an argument between this David and a certain Arthur and their words seemed to suggest that he was, in fact, from another reality, one of those responsible for this reality. You may remember you told me about an 'RPG,' I have reason to believe this David is one of those who was controlling it. Though I suspect you can confirm that?
"In any case, I had Olivia go to the group who have been accompanying him, with the intent of first confirming our suspicions, then negotiating with him." He paused for a moment, "You realise, don't you, that had I known you wanted him I would have come to you first? In that case we could have made a joint effort. However, as I didn't know this, I intended to negotiate a deal with this David where I might offer my assistance to any goals he might seek, in return for the same. I don't know what he is capable of, but the main service I would seek from him is knowledge - because, as you know, knowledge is power! And in the right hands, it can be even more...
"I don't know what you want from him, but allow me to continue first.
Unfortunately Olivia arrived too late and David had already left, but Daniel and I were able to locate him and I sent Daniel - he prefers to be called by his title 'The Flaming Arrow' or simply 'Arrow,' mind you - to meet with him and told Olivia to stay with the group. I'm guessing this must be when you and he met, but this is as far as my knowledge goes at this time."
He stopped and waited for Fisher's response
