"We'll have to see how it works, but it sounds like a convenient arrangement. I'll try to make sure my demands on you aren't excessive, but I know you'll be wanting a lot of information from me, and through Vincent. So will my alternate."

All this on top of recovering from a collapsed lung is a substantial workload. Fortunately he's had little to demand his attention outside his own city for the past few days. Everything else has been waiting quietly in the background, for now.
