Are you ready to get back to work?" "You know better than anyone else, I enjoy my life as a Kazak and wouldn't trade it for anything. I've learned that time with Clare and my few friends is necessary. If I hadn't discovered that, I don't believe that I would have the same healthy attitude or blend in as well as I do now." "I know. That has been the one concern I've had about you. Besides aggravating your clients with your rules, you're too much of a loner. Although that hasn't been a problem in the past, I believe it would've been sooner or later. Most Kazaks have their own rules but are willing to compromise a little with each client. You don't. Although it shouldn't work, it does and has proven beneficial. Most Kazak clients come away pleased with the Kazak's performance but don't feel they owe them anything. You get offers to use their private planes. The Committee and I find that an interesting dichotomy." He sat back and took a sip of coffee, looking like he was considering his next words, or maybe thinking about what he had just said.
