In Victor & Yukiko's room, at the Casino de la Renard; Nice, French Republic:
Victor: Bleedin' ruddy Christ! Oh. Heh... Ouch.
Yukiko (to Victor): Here. Dr. Crow said you should take these when you wake up.
Victor (to Yukiko): Thanks. What time is it? I feel like I've slept for weeks...
Yukiko (to Victor): It's about 8pm. You've been asleep the whole day… Zoe came and worked her healing trick on you a couple hours ago. But, she said she only sped it up a little because she thought you might need to learn a lesson.
Victor (to Yukiko): ...Oh. I thought I was a bit less sore. She's probably not wrong about me needing to learn a lesson...
Yukiko (to Victor): I believe she's completely right... Are you hungry? Do you need anything?
Victor (to Yukiko): I might be hungry... I'm sorry I worried you, Yuki. I... Bullocks! I'm a right royal idiot. I didn't think. I... You... I mean, you still want to see me, don't you? I'd understand if you didn't...
Yukiko (to Victor): … There was a naked girl in our room, Victor. Did you know about that?
Victor (to Yukiko): What? A naked...When? *Why?* What the bloody hell happened while I was gone? ... How LONG was I gone?
Yukiko (to Victor): It was the first day you went missing, I think it was to make me angry so I wouldn't look for you.
Victor (to Yukiko): Oh. ...You know I'd never, EVER do something like that to you, don't you?
Yukiko (to Victor): Heh. I know… At first, I actually though you did it so that you could join a high stakes poker game. But when we couldn't find you after the second day, I realized someone had to have grabbed you. So, I found the girl.
Victor (to Yukiko): I'm glad you did. So...You're not dumping me and running off with Mr. Park's brother?
Yukiko (to Victor): What!?! No… Why would you even think that?
Victor (to Yukiko): Heh. Well, maybe not Mr. Park the younger, but I was afraid... I mean, I'm sure my other version wasn't this much trouble.
Yukiko (to Victor): Heh. Very true. However, I was involved in a similar scheme in Paris a few years back… I just played up my anger to the crowd so no one suspected I knew what was going on. Besides, your new friend looked familiar.
Victor (to Yukiko): Which one? Little Miss No Knickers, or the fop with a penchant for breaking fingers?
Yukiko (to Victor): The fop. I never saw Liesel before. Besides, she was hardly your type.
Victor (to Yukiko): Ah. Oscar. He's the madame's brother if you believe his talk. I don't doubt she wasn't my type... After you, who else could possibly compete? Heh... And who else would have a right hook like that?
Yukiko (to Victor): Heh. I was being nice. I should have flattened you for making me look for you. I hope you won't make me do this kind of thing after we're married because if you do I'll borrow a black dress from your sister or mother.
Victor (to Yukiko): Heh. I didn't say I didn't deserve it... So, you still want to marry me, do you? :-p
Yukiko (to Victor): … I didn't say that.
Victor (to Yukiko): Heh. Of course. My mistake.
Yukiko (to Victor): Clearly.
Victor (to Yukiko): Heh heh... I love you, you mad, violent, bitty terror.
Yukiko (to Victor): I love you too, watashi no ai.
Victor (to Yukiko): Heh. Thank the bloody Lord...
Yukiko (to Victor): Scoot over.
A few minutes later:
Nathaniel (to Yukiko & Victor): Hey, Yoyo! Aiden wanted your help with... Oh. Well, shit. Never you mind. Heh. G'night!
Victor (to Nathaniel): Don't take this the wrong way, Nate, but fuck right off!
Yukiko (to Nathaniel & Victor): Tell Aiden to take care of it himself. He gave me the night off.
Nathaniel (to Yukiko & Aiden): That sneaky sonova... Sorry to have interrupted. I'll... All right! All right! Don't throw shit. I'm going!
A little while later, in the casino:
Nathaniel (to Aiden): It's not nice to try ta get your fiancée stabbed, ya' know.
Aiden (to Nathaniel): Oh... I apologize. I thought you'd prefer checking on them to dealing with the Carlisle sisters.
Nathaniel (to Aiden): Mmm hmm. Heh. Yeah right. I don't believe that shit for a second. Whatcha need me to do?
Aiden (to Nathaniel): Heh... Simply walk by that table over there & wink at the countess. I need her husband to get upset so I can tell if the man is cheating.
Nathaniel (to Aiden): Heh. Fluster the bored wife? You gonna give me something hard to do? ;-p Heh. I'm goin'! I'm goin'! Be nice and I might distract you later.
Aiden (to Nathaniel): If you're lucky I'll let you. ;-p
Nathaniel (to Aiden): Ha ha ha! Oh yeah? Well... We'll have to see about that, won't we? See you later, boss. I gotta go make some Countess wet herself. ;-)
