[ Nick nods almost imperceptibly in greeting as Bobbi settles into place on the nearby bench. For his part, he doesn't shy away from the base of the statue, lurking idly and watching the birds casually as they hop from one tree to another. To the untrained observer, he looks like just another retiree out for a stroll in the nice spring weather.
He spots Gilbert a ways off and finds himself hoping Julian and Daria will be a little less to the point when they do decide to show up. The roughness of the young man's stride is just another reason to keep him out of the field, Nick figures. And he wasn't out and out obvious, not anything that couldn't be carefully trained away.
Never liking to make the first move, Nick keeps to his birdwatching for the moment. This meeting is just as much about assessing their instincts as it is getting them on board with his operation. ]
