Oh, Christ...what did this dude even want?! No landlord he ever met acted like this. Sure, he wasn't applying like a normal tenant, but he didn't really have a choice! And he had to impress THESE trumped-up fucks? These self-impressed tools of the bourgeois that somehow thought anyone would be interested in anything they owned or had to say?!
He considered just pulling rank on the guy and telling him to follow standard regulation, or he'd lose his subletting privileges. But...well, that wasn't true. And from the looks of it, he owned this little building. Not to mention that, even if he could press charges on the guy, that meant he'd be down the only opportunity he knew to hide away...Steve McArthur was absolutely, infuriatingly, at their mercy.
God fucking...McArthur took a deep breath and let his face lose its expression gradually. "You have a deal." He offered his hand to shake to Mr. Alderman, and then he offered it to the other two men in turn. Whether or not they accepted didn't matter: he knew the gesture itself was the message here.
