Just as Mr. Pato was about to approach Lynch, he saw Mr. Wardrick go over first, so he paused and stopped in place.
It would not be polite to go over at this time. It requires an invitation from a "core" figure. For example, if Lynch or Mr. Wardrick looked at him and gave him a very clear indication, then he could go over.
Otherwise, it would be best to wait until the two of them had separated before approaching.
This is the most basic etiquette in social situations. If something on this magical land is as valuable as "freedom," it must be privacy!
Restrict others' freedom, and someone will fight you to the end.
Infringe on others' privacy, and someone will be equally willing to fight you to the end.
"That old fellow...", Mr. Wardrick glanced at Mr. Pato.
In the camp of capitalists, he and Mr. Pato did not belong to the same interest group, but in private, they got along quite well. One couldn't assume Mr. Pato was a conservative just because he always claimed to be a "noble".
