[An eccentric. Not unusual, as far as clients go. He's seen worse before, so he can take in this man's appearance without any sort of visible reaction. Just another normal day at the office, yeah.]
Good morning, Mr. Collins. Come have a seat.
['Mr.' instead of '-san' because this man was very obviously foreign. Fukuzawa often made that switch to accommodate others as needed.
Fukuzawa was at his desk, which had a few loose papers on it. On his right was a folder from the previous visitor, who had left about ten minutes before Merlin showed up. He hadn't had time to stick it away yet, but he would after this meeting. It's strange, though. He didn't remember scheduling a meeting at this time? One of the secretaries must have done it. He would have to remind them to schedule more time between meetings, so he had time to clean up.
But for now, he moved a blank piece of paper in front of him, ready to take notes as needed. He wrote 'Emrys Collins' and the date at the top, and then looked back up to the odd man.]
What brings you here today?
[Fukuzawa would have thought that Merlin would have sought help from his country's ambassador's building if it was something serious. But he sought out a detective's office instead? Curious.]
