"Yes?"
"Hey Mr. Hanson, I was wondering if I could have a word to you for a moment?"
"Certainly Ashley. Is something wrong?"
"Well..." Ash hesitated for a moment, "I haven't really had a chance to talk to the guys recently, and I was wondering what your take on the situation was? Do you think anything will come of what they're doing right now?"
"I see. You're looking for work."
"Well... in laymans terms, yes. I haven't had an excuse to see them in absolutely ages and considering I used to see them everyday... you know. It feels like I'm being shut out."
"Well you see Ash... the situation that they've found themselves in at the moment really does depend on them spending as much time as they can together, without interruption so to speak. And as for anything coming of it, I'm not sure that what they're working on - they'd want eventually displayed to the public, so to speak."
"Not even for their own records? You think?"
"Not even."
"Well... ok."
"And I'm sorry that it feels you're being shut out, so to speak. I'm sure they don't mean to make it that way."
"Of course they don't, I'd be worried if they did... But, thanks anyway. How are you these days? Now that you're not on the council anymore, that is."
"Much better than before, thankyou for asking."
"You're welcome. Guess I'll talk to you later."
"You will. Bye Ash."
"Bye."
