This time the snapping just gets a very level look. "Uh-huh." Vrenille has dealt with attitudes at least as bad as Ed's and ultimately, far worse. (He's contracted with a certain god of mischief, after all.)
Of course he doesn't know who Maslow is, but he can gather enough from context and doesn't bother to ask. As for crime, that actually gets a slight eye roll. "Y'know, you're the second guy in so many months I met who's comin' in here looking for his in with the criminal underworld." At least that's what he assumes Ed is asking about.
"I'll tell y'this: there's plenty to go 'round. The Down's got a gang for every day of the month with some to spare. As far as forensi-whatever, not really my department, but I know there's people who, y'know, do that stuff."
They've come to a cafe not far from the square and he pauses by the door with a casual offer. "Coffee?"
