Peh. If that's what you wanted, you shouldn't have been the one to come. Send someone else, then I'll be glad to have a look at the progress.
I did say these were terms you were going to accept.

*Stops leaning on the boulder and stands straight up, glancing up then looking at you for the first time*
You're not saying-
Yes, boy. All this time, our people have lived. Regrown, in secret. And now, we're ready. And upon looking outward, finding you, we noticed your accomplishments and decided to come to you directly. We want to show you our new world and how far we've come, to see if you'd like to return. Your skill will make a valuable asset to the cause.

Well quit that and get to the point. Save us both the trouble. There will be no conflict today. You're a lone remnant, a shadow of a former government long since gone and that I do not care for anymore. And that includes petty quarrels based on the past.
It's not a yes or no proposal, Mr. Waternaux. It's the sort where you listen to the terms, and follow accordingly. Because you're right, I am a shadow of a former government. But a "lone remnant" you say? No, far from it, old friend.
*A fleet of enormous ships fill the sky, blinking into reality from nowhere*

I don't care if we share the same dead place of origin, you and I have never been, and never will be buddy-buddy enough for me to "indulge" you.
I know. And to be honest, I wasn't hoping you would. I was hoping for more of a natural build up to my proposal, see.

*Is standing, leaning with my back against the boulder, watching the sunset as its light reflects of the earth's shining surface like glass. I don't turn to look at you in any way*
I just thought I was hearing ghosts. In fact, I still feel that way. Now I'm just seeing them too.
I assure you of the integrity of my livelihood. Now, care to indulge me, Mr. Waternaux?

*Puts my hand on a boulder and leans against it for a moment*
I don't suppose you... Have to answer that. After all, criminal doesn't really fit your profile anymore, does it? You've got a family now, and people even look up to you as a hero! Imagine that!
*Sighs*
So you don't want to acknowledge me until we're face to face, is that it? As if there's a chance I'm not absolutely confident you're there? Come on, now. No need to be shy. You know me.
*Slowly walks around the boulder*

*Steps on a rock, crushing it under my boot without acknowledging it*
But that's where you and I differ. What would a notorious criminal like you be wanting to remember about this place?

I wonder if it's for the same reasons... I'll share, I come here to remember. That much has to be true of you as well, hm?
*Nothing but the breeze can be heard*

*Slowly paces across hardened, smooth ground*
You know, I enjoy coming here as well, from time to time.
*No one speaks back*
