[Is it possibly for a mental voice to sound giddy? Because there's a distinct giddy tinge to By's thoughts, for all that his words come out with his normal, lazy, lightly Russian-accented drawl.]
Byerly Vorrutyer here. We're on Earth, pre-spaceflight, although someone who isn't me will need to get a better read on the actual date and location. Linguistically, it's a hodgepodge. I can hear archaic Russian, a whole host of Asiatic and Romance languages, and something else I can't quite place.
If you can "hear" this, check in. We need to know who we've got to work with.

[Oh, but he likes you. You're thinking.]
I think I've seen this fellow with a moustache who's flirting with me around Liminal Space.
As far as blending in, you might want to talk to Daneel about it, given his odd case of dual citizenship, as it were. Until you can locate him, try to be polite and keep your head down.
[He's so tempted to add 'Of course it's good thinking. I am a professional' but no, he remembers what happened the last time he told someone he was part of ImpSec just because he thought they'd never see Barrayar.]
no subject
[That last part was grumbled, but he's not going to dwell.]
Got a name and a description for me? Even if we haven't met them personally before, we'll know who to watch then. [Pause.] I wish I had a computer. Or at least a pen and pad of paper for this.
Got pointed in his direction already, but you're right. In person might be easier. Damn, do I look all spaced out when I'm talking to people like this?
[It's a concern, okay! People are already suspicious of him]

The man with the moustache claims his name is Neville Tollman, but that's likely an alias, although whether or not it's your standard Infiltration alias where you truly believe that's your name or one his Infiltrator-self adopted for dealing with me is quite up in the air. He's well-built, brown hair, prominent moustache, very British.
And yes, it's a bit inconvenient to be running through these things when one doesn't have anything to write things down with. I've a fairly well-trained memory, but I don't expect most people to have the same and I'm certainly no Illyrican memory chip.
I doubt I can answer if you look spaced out, since I don't think you're within my sights, but I'm sure we can teach you to cover up your distraction more easily.

My memory isn't bad, but I'm old fashioned. I'd rather have the case files in my hands when I'm working, you know?
Meeting up doesn't seem like a bad idea. At least I'll know one what one more of us looks like, in case things happen. Maybe I can find a way to get a notepad. They have to sell those kinds of things somewhere.

I'm in the middle of negotiating a liaison with Tollman, but afterwards we might meet at this cafe I've spotted. It's called Les Trois Magots.
no subject
[There is a silence on his end long enough that it's obviously at least semi-intentional. There are things he really doesn't need to know.]
So! Directions to this cafe? I'm still near the lifts I showed up on, as a point of reference. And when will be a good time for you?
no subject
Two or three hours from now ought to be sufficient.
no subject
I'll give you three and a half.
