Hazel eyes flicker from Max's cautious words of warning and towards the other familiar smoothness of the voice now joining them. It's a tone that forces Klement to sit up a bit straighter out of habit – not all clients can be treated so casually unless a long bond has formed, after all – poised and professional as if they were to continue their business here at the lonely booth in a lonely Denny's.
"Mr. Osborne," the Antiquary greets, also getting to his feet with practiced grace to properly welcome the master back after their previous meeting. He does notice the difference in Erik's wardrobe, but he feels it's for the better since having obvious blood stains in the early hours of morning will still bring about many questions from strangers.
Although he pauses when Erik introduces Max as his 'pet,' he still smiles, nodding in confirmation. "It is also good to see you are doing well," comes his reply without hesitation, gesturing for all of them to sit again so that they wouldn't be standing around awkwardly. "Please, there is no need to apologize, sir. Business tends to come with some surprises, after all.
"And Mr. Maximum has been wonderful company tonight – to be honest, I did not think anyone would be here, considering the time."
