Ghassan looks for people who might be able to help him. He can't rely on the Dubai kids; they're a new enclave, no matter how rich they are, and Jackson's only edge over the rest of them is that his parents spent all of their money on him. He needs allies of every stripe. The problem is, he needs to convince them he's worth it. That will be easiest to do with those independents who have huge amounts of potential and no knowledge. He looks for those who give off an aura of competence.
There's one of them who definitely stands out. Although Ghassan lost sight of him earlier, he didn't forget the way he kept his eyes up, looking for danger. Now that he's alone, staring at some blueprints, it's the perfect time to strike. He approaches; slowly, because he's never seen anyone this vigilant in his life and he doesn't want to spook the poor thing. He waits a few seconds more, just so he can register the presence next to him (and silently analyzes his reaction, because knowing his reaction time will help tell Ghassan how important this ally could be).
"Hello. Are you settling in alright?"
