Werner, I've had numerous conversations with him, both in German and English.

I've always found him to be quite chatty.

Last time, we spoke about his childhood growing up after the war. And he also told me he would be retiring within 2 years, if I recall.

He looks sour, but he's actually ok. Perhaps you met him on an off night.

The pending closure of Soi Twilight would be the last thing on his mind, I imagine.
