A Strange Old World, Day 91

At Aiden's house; New London, Britannia:

Fiona (to Mrs. Esterly): Here you are, Artemis. Everything you could want to read and more. That Russian chappy should be stopping by any day. Seems he's going to buy the great bloody git's debt. Roland continues to be luckier than he knows.

Mrs. Esterly (to Fiona): Indeed he does. Thank you, dear… Are you alright? Did you get hurt again? Honestly, Fiona!

Fiona (to Mrs. Esterly): It's nothing, Artemis. Kobayashi got me with one of her bloody blades during a bit of turbulence. Wound's a bit angry is all. It's barely a scratch.

Mrs. Esterly (to Fiona): Bullshit. Come inside. ... Here. Put this ointment on it at least three times a day. It should kill the infection.

Fiona (to Mrs. Esterly): Ha ha ha! If my mum had been half as attentive as you, missus, I might have had a chance at being a proper lady.

Mrs. Esterly (to Fiona): I doubt that very much, dear.

Fiona (to Mrs. Esterly): HA HA! You're right about that. Fear there's no hope for me. Thanks for the goop. Cheers.
