[ drag his name through the ground, ha, bold of Izumi to assume Abel isn't already well on his way to doing that himself, ]

Mr. Izumi~! Ah, that's right. My apologies, that must be terribly forgettable to have gone in one ear and out the other. [ is he trying to get on his nerves??

As for me? Did I really forget to introduce myself...? I suppose it can't be helped considering your rude assault at the vending machine, hm? Well, please forgive my lapse in manners.

[ offering his hand, now, ]

Father Abel Nightroad, at your service~! A pleasure to meet you.
