At Aiden's house; New London, Britannia:
Aiden (to Lily): Good morning, sweetheart. Did you sleep alright? Care to head down for breakfast with me?
Lily (to Aiden): Yes, daddy. I'm starving. Nate kicked me once but, I kicked him back so it was okay.
Aiden (to Lily): Heh. I wasn't sure if you even knew his name. Come on.
Lily (to Aiden): Okay. Should we wake him up?
Aiden (to Lily): No. He needs his sleep.
A short time later:
Nathaniel: Jesus fuckin'... Oh... Heh heh. Oh shit. Just a dream. Right.
Aiden (to Nathaniel): Good morning, handsome. I have brought you breakfast in bed. Lily helped make it.
Nathaniel (to Aiden): Heh. Thanks. You didn't have to do that.
Aiden (to Nathaniel): I know, but we wanted to.
Nathaniel (to Aiden): Heh... Thanks. Ouch. Must've slept weird. I feel like I got kicked in the ribs.
Aiden (to Nathaniel): Heh. I believe that would be Lily's fault. She said you kicked her so she kicked you back. :-P
Nathaniel (to Aiden): She what? Heh. Ha ha ha! I deserved that... I didn't hurt her, did I?
Aiden (to Nathaniel): No, I don't think so.
Nathaniel (to Aiden): Oh good. Heh. You know all too well I can be one motherfu--, uh, one hell of a flailer when I'm asleep.
Aiden (to Nathaniel): Heh. You're fine. She's downstairs with Persephone & Mrs. Esterly. They're making plans for clearing out the apartment in the carriage house for Joseph's arrival. I thought it would be nice if they had their own space. It hasn't been used in quite a long time... Not since my parents lived here & we had a full staff.
Nathaniel (to Aiden): You alright?
Aiden (to Nathaniel): I'm fine. Why do you ask?
Nathaniel (to Aiden): You just looked kinda far away for a minute there.
Aiden (to Nathaniel): Heh. My apologies. I was just thinking about the little family we seem to have acquired & how I like it much better than the one that I was born to… Does that make me a beastly person?
Nathaniel (to Aiden): Hell no! Your family's fulla dick-biting bastards. If my uncle hadn't done the same thing who knows where the fuck I'd be. And without you where would we all be? Fucked as far as I can tell.
Aiden (to Nathaniel): Heh. You are a sweet asshole, you know that?
Nathaniel (to Aiden): Nah. I'm not that sweet. You're just not used to people bein' nice to you. I just seem good in comparison. :-P
Aiden (to Nathaniel): Heh. Lucky me.
Nathaniel (to Aiden): ... You don't think I'm gonna fuck up Lilian do you? I mean, it's not like I'm gonna be trying, but... Heh. Shit. Ignore me.
Aiden (to Nathaniel): … I think that she's managed to turn out pretty good all on her own, despite everything. Do you really think you're going to fuck her up that much?
Nathaniel (to Aiden): Heh. Yeah. I'm just that much of a badass motherfucker. You're right. I know you're right. I'm just feeling... I dunno.
Aiden (to Nathaniel): Like you had a life thrown at you that you weren't expecting?
Nathaniel (to Aiden): Heh. Yeah. Exactly like that.
Aiden (to Nathaniel): Welcome to the club. I may act like I'm coping well but inside I'm a sea of neuroses.
Nathaniel (to Aiden): Ha ha ha! Well, that's two of us then. Course, I dunno that I look like I'm coping all that well. I almost went over and beat the shit outta those McMasters kids for making Lilian cry.
Aiden (to Nathaniel): Well, we won't have them to worry about any longer. They're apparently moving.
Nathaniel (to Aiden): Yeah? Can't say I'll be sorry to see 'em go. Guess I fouled up the neighborhood too much for their delicate sensibilities.
Aiden (to Nathaniel): Oh? Did you have an affair with Mr. McMasters? Because, they're moving to the country to try & "revitalize" their marriage.
Nathaniel (to Aiden): ... That is a disgusting thought.
Aiden (to Nathaniel): Do you know something about it, Nate?
Nathaniel (to Aiden): Nope.
Aiden (to Nathaniel): … You are a terrible liar. What did you do?
Nathaniel (to Aiden): I didn't do shit. Hand to God.
Aiden (to Nathaniel): Alright. If you say so… Well, whoever did it, please tell them thank you from me.
Nathaniel (to Aiden): Heh. Will do. C'mere for a sec...
Aiden (to Nathaniel): Heh… I always have time for you.
Nathaniel (to Aiden): That's only cuz I make it worth your while.
Aiden (to Nathaniel): Can you blame me?
Nathaniel (to Aiden): Nope. I like makin' it worth your while...
Meanwhile, in the carriage house:
Lily (to Persephone): This place is huge… And, you're going to live here by yourself?
Persephone (to Lily): Heehee. Sweetie, it's not that big & I'll be living here with my boyfriend, Joseph.
Lily (to Persephone): … Joseph? What's he like? Do I get to meet him? What does he do?
Persephone (to Lily): Look at you, you little chatterbox. He's a bit quiet and very sweet. He hasn't decided what he wants to do but he writes beautiful poetry & funny stories. You'll like him.
Lily (to Persephone): Heehee. I can't wait to meet him.
Persephone (to Lily): Come on, little one. Let's get to work.
Back in Aiden's house:
Zoe (to Nathaniel & Aiden): Hands off the asses, you two pervs!
Nathaniel (to Zoe & Aiden): You're the one sitting there and watching, Short Stack! You want us to give you a real show?
Zoe (to Nathaniel & Aiden): Dear god, no! I just came to see the new addition & check on you two.
Nathaniel (to Zoe & Aiden): We're... Heh. We're kinda freaking the fuck out, but quietly. On the inside. You meet Lilian yet?
Zoe (to Nathaniel & Aiden): No. No one was downstairs when I arrived.
Nathaniel (to Zoe & Aiden): She's probably helping Seph with the carriage house. Heh. She freakin' LOVES her. I need to get up and get moving anyway. C'mon. Let's see if we can find her.
Zoe (to Nathaniel): God. A mini Seph. That's probably a sign of the Apocalypse.
Aiden (to Nathaniel & Zoe): Heh. Go on, you two. I have some writing to do in the library.
Nathaniel (to Aiden): Heh. Alright. I'll see you in a bit. Gimme a kiss. (to Zoe) How're you doing? Your sexy pirate man doin' better?
Zoe (to Nathaniel): … Yeah. He's able to move about now. He's still a little sore. But well, the Sister is almost ready to fly again. So, he'll be back onboard with Victor & Yuki.
Nathaniel (to Zoe): Heh. And you're pouting about it.
Zoe (to Nathaniel): Well, yeah.
Nathaniel (to Zoe): Ha ha ha! Hey, I'm not blaming you.
A few minutes later:
Nathaniel (to Zoe): There they are. (to Persephone & Lily) What's all this crap?
Persephone (to Nathaniel): All the things stored in the carriage house. (to Zoe) Hi Zoe! Give me a hug, not so little cousin.
Zoe (to Persephone, Lily & Nathaniel): Hi Seph! And, you must be Lilian. Nice to meet you. I'm Zoe, Nate's cousin.
Nathaniel (to Lily): Heh. She's one of Uncle Vincent's kids.
Lily (to Zoe): Hello! Where's all your hair?
Zoe (to Lily): Heehee. I don't like to have long hair.
Persephone (to Lily, Zoe & Nathaniel): She's what we like to call a rebel, Lilian.
Nathaniel (to Persephone, Lily & Zoe): Pfffft! Ha ha ha!
Zoe (to Nathaniel & Lily): You are both very lucky that Lilian is standing right here… You jerks.
Nathaniel (to Zoe): We're just teasing you. S'not like you had any trouble catching Felix's attention, after all.
Lily (to Zoe): I think you look very fetching, Miss Zoe.
Zoe (to Lily): Thank you, Lilian. (to Nathaniel) You've been over here too long. Getting a boyfriend isn't a top priority of mine. I just lucked out with Felix. He's broken & likes a girl with too much eyeliner.
Nathaniel (to Zoe): No shit getting a boyfriend wasn't a priority. Um, I mean...
Persephone (to Lily): Heehee. Lilian, are you hungry? I think it's about time for lunch.
Lily (to Persephone, Nathaniel & Zoe): I am starving.
Persephone (to Lily): We're going to have to buy a farm to keep you well-fed. :-P
Nathaniel (to Lily): Heh. You're always starving. I'll come help in a bit, OK?
Lily (to Nathaniel): Okay, Daddy. (to Zoe) Will you stay for lunch, Zoe?
Zoe (to Lily, Persephone & Nathaniel): Heehee… I wouldn't miss it.
Persephone (to Lily): Come on, little one.
Nathaniel (to Zoe): So that's Lily, Lilian. I need a cigarette.
Zoe (to Nathaniel): So... daddy, huh? I should have brought you a cigar. :-p
Nathaniel (to Zoe): Stop your fucking smirking! You don't gotta tell me how weird it is. I thought my heart was gonna stop first time she did it.
Zoe (to Nathaniel): I'm just teasing. Remember, how my Dad acted when I called him that for the first time? He practically fainted. If you don't want to be a part of it, you know you can always just go to West Piedmont & just visit when you want. No one would blame you…Except, maybe yourself.
Nathaniel (to Zoe): Yeah... Heh. No shit I would. I know I don't gotta be here. That's not why I'm staying. I wanna be here for Aiden. Heh. And for the Lil' Bit. I like that kid. Jut never thought anybody, in ANY fuckin' reality would ever be callin' me fucking "Daddy." I mean... Shit.
Zoe (to Nathaniel): Heehee... You'll be fine.
Nathaniel (to Zoe): I hope so... Not just me I'm fucking over now, is it?
Zoe (to Nathaniel): You are such a fucking drama queen! Do you get a crown & a sash, at least?
Nathaniel (to Zoe): In THIS fucking family? Please. I'm barely even drama royalty. I'm like a Drama Viscount or some shit.
Zoe (to Nathaniel): Heehee.
Nathaniel (to Zoe): So? What's your assessment? Can we be trusted on our own?
Zoe (to Nathaniel): Yeah, I think I can let you guys be on your own. :-P
Nathaniel (to Zoe): Good. Heh. I know your mom and dad'll be on the horn with you the second you leave asking how we're doin'.
Zoe (to Nathaniel): Are you kidding me? Why do you think I'm here? Mom & Dad told me to come say hello.
Nathaniel (to Zoe): Heh. Yeah, I thought so. They figure I'll freak out to you... C'mon. We should grab some lunch. Seph wasn't kiddin' about Lilian eating it all. Don't think her foster folks fed her much.
Zoe (to Nathaniel): Sounds good. If you need to, I'm willing to listen.
Nathaniel (to Zoe): I know you are. I'm alright for right now. Don't worry. I'm sure I got a grand maul freakout in the pipeline... But I'm alright for now.
Zoe (to Nathaniel): Heh. Well, you know where I am if you need to hyperventilate… Wow, you weren't kidding about her eating everything.
Lily (to Zoe & Nathaniel): I left you some. Honest. Miss Persephone went to help Mrs. Esterly with the bedding.
Nathaniel (to Zoe): Heh. It's alright. (to Lily) … Are you still hungry?
Lily (to Nathaniel): … Can I just have an apple?
Nathaniel (to Lily): Yeah. Of course. If you're still hungry I can make you another sandwich, you know.
Lily (to Nathaniel): I know but, I don't want to be too greedy.
Nathaniel (to Lily): It's not greedy to ask for seconds if you're still fu--freakin' hungry. We've got the food, alright? (to Zoe) I'll come over there and wipe that smirk off your face!
Zoe (to Nathaniel): I'm just eating my sandwich.
Lily (to Nathaniel): … I'm just not used to that. Mama always said to make sure there was enough for everyone.
Nathaniel (to Lily): I'm sorry. I'm not mad, I'm just... I don't want you feeling like you can't ask, alright? 'Sides, Mrs. Esterly LOVES feeding people. She'll have no complaints about making sure you aren't hungry.
Zoe (to Nathaniel & Lily): Heh. I'm going to get out of the way of this family discussion. Thank you for the sandwich. Gimme a hug! And yes, I'm talking to you both.
Lily (to Zoe): Oh. I like hugs!
Nathaniel (to Zoe & Lily): Heh. She ain't kiddin'. I'll see you later, short stack.
Zoe (to Lily): Good. Get over here. (to Nathaniel) Bye, Grumpy man.
Nathaniel (to Zoe): Later!
Lily (to Nathaniel): She's funny.
Nathaniel (to Lily): Heh. Yeah, she is. Here. I made you a sandwich and cut up an apple. That should tide you over 'til dinner.
Lily (to Nathaniel): Thank you… Can I ask a question? I'm not sure I'm supposed to know.
Nathaniel (to Lily): ... Uh... Yeah. You can ask me anything you want, Lilian. I might not be able to give you an answer, though.
Lily (to Nathaniel): … Daddy isn't really my father, is he? It's okay. I love you both very much even though I've only been here for a few days. And, I'm willing to pretend if I can still stay.
Nathaniel (to Lily): ...What makes you ask that?
Lily (to Nathaniel): Miss Persephone & I saw some family photo albums in the carriage house. They had dates on them. I did the math.
Nathaniel (to Lily): Heh heh. You are biologically a Wilkes, Lil' Bit. As if there were any freakin' doubt... Even if you weren't, me and Aiden are your dads. Does that answer your question?
Lily (to Nathaniel): Ye-- yes, it does. So, I don't have to go back?
Nathaniel (to Lily): What?! Fuck no! I mean... Screw it. No you don't have to go back. No one in this house is sending you away for any reason.
Lily (to Nathaniel): Thank you, thank you.
Nathaniel (to Lily): We love you very much too, even though it's only been a few days. ...Heh heh. I am in TROUBLE with you, aren't I? You're too damn smart for your own good, you know that?
Aiden (to Nathaniel & Lily): Am I interrupting something? Should I come back some other time?
Lily (to Aiden): Heehee. No. I'll give you a hug, too.
Nathaniel (to Aiden): When she and Zoe hugged earlier, I was afraid someone was gonna break something.
Aiden (to Nathaniel & Lily): Heh. I bet that was a sight to behold.
Nathaniel (to Aiden): Heh. That it was. Are you hungry? I can fix you something to eat. (to Lily) You want to go root through the stuff from the carriage house some more, don't you?
Lily (to Nathaniel): Yes, please. (to Aiden) Have a good lunch, Daddy.
Aiden (to Lily): Make sure you wash your hands when you're done. I'm sure that stuff is dusty. (to Nathaniel) That sounds delicious.
Lily (to Aiden): Yes, sir. :-P
Nathaniel (to Lily): Heh. Later. (to Aiden) Here you go... That kid is way too fucking smart. She did the math.
Aiden (to Nathaniel): Well, fuck. How'd she take it? What did you say?
Nathaniel (to Aiden): I told her she was a Wilkes by blood and we were her dads. I didn't know what else to say. She was mostly afraid we were gonna ship her off cuz she worked it out, I think.
Aiden (to Nathaniel): … Well, of course we're not going to ship her back there. That place is a hellhole. I am kind of thankful that we don't have to lie to her about it, though… We're all going to be okay.
Nathaniel (to Aiden): Heh. Yeah. I think keeping secrets from that one is gonna be a challenge... Are you alright?
Aiden (to Nathaniel): Yes, I'm fine. Heh. She knew you were the one to ask. She is going to be trouble when she gets older.
Nathaniel (to Aiden): When she's older? She's gonna be trouble NOW. Heh. Wait 'til she relaxes and finally realizes we're keeping her. Man, she's gonna play me like a fiddle from fucking Hell...
Aiden (to Nathaniel): Especially, following around Seph like she is.
Nathaniel (to Aiden): Yep. We're pretty much fucked. :-P
A couple hours later, in a hotel room; New Orleans, French Territories:
Ariadne (to Ji Yong): Oh shit… Is that really the time? Why didn't you wake me?
Ji Yong (to Ariadne): My apologies. I didn't realize you were keeping to a schedule. I've checked in with Mr. Rodchenko. He is well. The kitchens are keeping to your menu. I've also prepared a file for you with what information I could find on "Madame" Baldwin. It seems a developer is trying to force her out of her current location via intimidation. I assume that's why she thought we were working for them last night.
Ariadne (to Ji Yong): … You're amazing. And, I am not on any type of schedule. I just thought you'd want to get back to the casino.
Ji Yong (to Ariadne): I am very good at what I do, and I would like to get back to the casino as soon as possible. My duties are lighter with our employer on bed rest. I should still make my rounds for appearance's sake.
Ariadne (to Ji Yong): Well, let me get dressed & then we can go… I've enjoyed our little vacation together.
Ji Yong (to Ariadne): Yes. It was most enjoyable.
A few minutes later:
Ariadne (to Ji Yong): … Alright, I'm ready. Let's go check out.
Ji Yong (to Ariadne): Yes.
Ariadne (to Ji Yong): Are you sure you want to go back to the casino? We could go anywhere, start a new life, be new people. Sorry. I'm just having a bit of ennui. I'm sad the vacation is over. Ignore me.
Ji Yong (to Ariadne): ... As you say. I am satisfied with my life as it is. I don't feel particularly inclined to start a new life over once again.
Ariadne (to Ji Yong): No. You're right. I'm just being silly. Take my hand.
Ji Yong (to Ariadne): ...Thank you.
Inger (to Ariadne & Ji Yong): Stop right there! Men grab them! Now!
Ariadne (to Inger & Ji Yong): Shit!
Inger (to Ji Yong): Look, sir, we want the girl. Get out of our way.
Ji Yong (to Ariadne): Run! I will hold them off. There's a rendezvous point in your file. I will meet you there. (to Inger) ...Your men are poorly trained. If they are particularly lucky, I won't kill them.
Ariadne (to Ji Yong): Okay.
Inger (to soldiers): Kill him, you idiots! And you, I want the skipper girl brought to the airship. Go find her right now!
Ji Yong (to Inger): ...You should stop right, sir. I can kill you from here. Captain, if you seek medical attention for these gentlemen they should survive. I would not advise pursuing my companion any further.
Inger (to Ji Yong): … Fine.
A few minutes later, in an alleyway:
Ariadne: This is what I would call a shit-uation… I should not have left him there. If he gets killed, dyadya is going to be so mad at me.
Ji Yong (to Ariadne): Ms. Fenris. Are you injured?
Ariadne (to Ji Yong): … No… Thank god, you're alright. How did you get away?
Ji Yong (to Ariadne): I took out her men quickly so they couldn't fire on me. I warned her and the man that was trying to pursue you to desist. I walked away. Don't worry. I took measures to assure I wasn't being followed.
Ariadne (to Ji Yong): They were after me? Shit… We need to get out of here. Take my hand… 1.. 2… 3...
A moment later, at Casino de la Renard; Nice, French Republic:
Ariadne (to Ji Yong): Oof… Well, that was way more exciting than I was expecting. I'm sorry for the trouble.
Ji Yong (to Ariadne): Yes. The captain seemed to think your name was Skipper. It was no trouble. I'm glad I was able to assist you.
Ariadne (to Ji Yong): Heh… My name is certainly not Skipper. My heart is beating a mile a minute. You should probably go make your rounds, because if you don't I may have my way with you right here & now.
Ji Yong (to Ariadne): Typically, almost being abducted isn't an aphrodisiac.
Ariadne (to Ji Yong): I know, I know... I'm a weird girl. But, the thought of you taking out those guys dressed like you are... Well, it's very hot.
Ji Yong (to Ariadne): Ah. I must make my rounds, but if you are free later...
Ariadne (to Ji Yong): I think I could be... I should go check on Mister Rodchenko.
Ji Yong (to Ariadne): Of course. Excuse me.
A little while later, in Grigori's flat:
Ariadne (to Grigori): Hello dyadya... How are you feeling?
Grigori (to Ariadne): Much better now that I have seen your pretty face. How was your errand?
Ariadne (to Grigori): It was fine. We meant to be back sooner but I distracted Ji Yo-- Mister Yong. My apologies.
Grigori (to Ariadne): Heh. Addressing him informally, are you? Why am I not surprised that you are one of the few who he allows to do this?
Ariadne (to Grigori): I'm sorry, dyadya, if you'd rather I didn't spend time with him say the word & it'll stop.
Grigori (to Ariadne): Heh heh heh. I don't mind, sestrenka. Our Mr. Yong has attracted his own admirers despite his personality.
Ariadne (to Grigori): Heh. Well, if you were feeling better I could be spending time with you, dyadya. ;-P
Grigori (to Ariadne): Ah. So this is all my fault, is it?
Ariadne (to Grigori): Yes, obviously.
Grigori (to Ariadne): Ha ha ha! Well, I wish I could say that you're the first woman to say that to me. Tomorrow, would you take a short walk with me after lunch? I'm languishing in this bed.
Ariadne (to Grigori): I think we can risk it... Besides, you still owe me a lunch.
Grigori (to Ariadne): Heh. Yes, I do, sestrenka. Ya staryy chelovek. Ya ustayu tak bystro...
Ariadne (to Grigori): Potyanite za drugoy, dyadya. I should get down to the casino.
Grigori (to Ariadne): Of course. Until tomorrow.
Ariadne (to Grigori): Rest up. If your color is looking better, I'll even let you cheat on your diet.
Grigori (to Ariadne): Heh. You're a tyrant. Why is it beautiful women so often are?
Ariadne (to Grigori): Heh. I'm only a tyrant because I want you to realize you can't live without me & will make an honest woman out of me. ;-P
Grigori (to Ariadne): HA HA HA! If you were an honest woman, I wouldn't like you so much. Marrying an old man for his money won't change that. ;-)
Ariadne (to Grigori): I wouldn't marry you for your money, dyadya. I'd marry you for all the idiots losing money in the casino. ;-P
Grigori (to Ariadne): Heh heh. As long as your priorities are straight...
Ariadne (to Grigori): And, for that you get a kiss on the cheek... Get some rest.
Grigori (to Ariadne): Da. Enjoy your night...
A short time later, in the casino:
Ariadne: Oh great, Mister Walliams is here... Come on, Hari, you can do this. Just go up to him & smooth it over.
A half an hour later:
Ji Yong (to Ariadne): Does there seem to be a problem, Mr. Walliams? Ms. Fenris?
Ariadne (to Ji Yong): Mister Walliams is upset because I very rudely neglected to meet him for dinner last night. I was just explaining that it was beyond my control & that has no bearing on my interest in him. I apologize for the outburst, Mister Yong.
Ji Yong (to Ariadne): Of course. I apologize for interrupting. Please excuse me.
Ariadne (to Ji Yong): Did you need me for something, Mister Yong? Pssst, this is where you say yes to get me out of this conversation. Please?
Ji Yong (to Ariadne): ...Yes, but it's a conversation that should be handled in private. I apologize, Mr. Walliams. Excuse us.
Ariadne (to Ji Yong): ... Thank you. I hate it when they're whiny & desperate. I should have said no but I haven't been out on a date in awhile. I mean, just a date where someone else pays for dinner, there's dancing & then we go our separate ways. You don't want to hear about this stuff. You're just so quiet, it makes me babble.
Ji Yong (to Ariadne): He was considering slapping you.
Ariadne (to Ji Yong): What!?! That bastard! I'll fucking kick him in the balls.
Ji Yong (to Ariadne): ...That is not the response I was expecting.
Ariadne (to Ji Yong): What did you expect me to say? I'm not big on getting slapped.
Ji Yong (to Ariadne): No. I shouldn't imagine... You are a very unusual young woman, Ms. Fenris.
Ariadne (to Ji Yong): Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Ji Yong (to Ariadne): Very few people can interest me. That may be good, or bad, depending on your point of view.
Ariadne (to Ji Yong): I'll take that as a compliment… My room or yours, mon petit chou?
Ji Yong (to Ariadne): Wherever you would feel more comfortable.
Ariadne (to Ji Yong): For once, would you just answer me with an actual answer? This isn't a test. Honest. I'm asking because I really want to know what you want. Otherwise, I wouldn't ask, I'd just tell you where we were going.
Ji Yong (to Ariadne): Of course. I apologize. I hadn't given much thought to which location would make me most comfortable. My quarters are a bit... Spartan.
Ariadne (to Ji Yong): See? That wasn't so hard. My room, it is... I hope someone tidied it up while I was gone. It was a bit messy.
A moment later, in Ariadne's room:
Ji Yong (to Ariadne): Yes. It is quite... Yes.
Ariadne (to Ji Yong): Oops. I apologize. I was looking for a shoe & I got a little carried away. I can pile all this... somewhere. Oh! The closet! There! Out of sight, out of mind.
Ji Yong (to Ariadne): Is that an empty food container on your bed?
Ariadne (to Ji Yong): Where on earth did that come from? ... Okay, I admit it. I forgot to throw that out. I got takeout the night before we left. I had a craving for Thai food. Here let me throw it out & check under the bed. Feel free to admire the view. ;-)
Ji Yong (to Ariadne): Perhaps we should go to my...
Ariadne (to Ji Yong): What was that you were you saying, Ji Yong?
Ji Yong (to Ariadne): Nothing. This is fine.
