Fun fact: there is no usual protocol. The Admiral has a relatively laissez-faire approach to these sort of things.
I do have your file, though. So perhaps our first official meeting could be the two of us meeting up for drinks? That way when I give your file a little look over, I don't have to bother you incessantly for questions.

We're meeting in the kitchen and living room area, [ he explains, gesturing for John to follow him. ] Though before we talk, I have to ask. Do you drink...wine?
[ it's a joke that Dorian knows only he will get but dammit, he's making the Dracula joke anyway ]

Ah, heh ... well, usually only in an ecclesiastical context.
[ Yep, that went right over his head, Dorian. ]

yeah that tracks. Dorian gives John a nod before he moves to the kitchen. ]
More for me then. Your file is on the table, by the way. Is there anything you want me to know before I crack it open?
