So he uses his easy going ways to coax news of places, taking DeBuke biases into account.

The man is no boggan, but he uses what skill he has to get some tid bits. Jobs for his wife waiting out there... good schools his kids can go to... a mix of space and streets.

And , Covertly, he leaves a few articles or hints for his wife. She does love DISCOVERING things... and he loves her happy.

"Wait, wait," Neesa says "Keral, what are you doing with that?"

"Just gathering dust up off the porch he says" Broom in one hand, sheet in another

"Hand that over," SHe tells him as she approaches, eyes ON the sheet, some sort of paper but with chimerical ink

He hands her broom. He also likes seeing her annoyed sometime after all. He remembers to keep his face clueless.

"GAH, you sticky fingered space case, not the Broom the paper, there's something oN it. and I don't mean dust!"

"Oh," he says, and hands that over instead.

SHe reads it, "What's this ? Caesar... the WRESTLER, is in Real Estate? And he has discounts for kithain? " SHe reads "And he works to get you houses at a discount in some areas, not just an appartment?"

"Does he?" Karel says eyes widening as if in surprise

"I'm a furking GENIUS!" His wife beams "This could really help! Look what I found!"

She waves it , the dust sprinklng off as she 'shows him'.

Karel looks closer and says "Hey ,great find hun!"

"I know right, oh Karel, We got a chance to get them a house SOON rarther than later, and in this furking economy!!" She kisses him.

Yup, he likes making her happy, even if she doesn't know he's cheating. He kisses he back "Sounds like a lead. "

"Cmere, we're going to our guest room..." She pulls him

"To plan?"

"No, not yet anyway," SHe yanks him along, "Let's put those deft hands and agility to work."

"OOOO," He says then smiles as he is lead away by his Genius wife. He likes to think he can be pretty clever himself.

.....fade to... well... you know....
