At Bleak House; secret location:
Liesel (to Yukiko): It was an absolute pleasure watching you work, Miss Sato. I wish you the best of luck in your next endeavor.
Yukiko (to Liesel): … Thank you, Miss Rotmensen. I'd think I'd feel a bit better about your remark if I actually believed you meant it.
Liesel (to Yukiko): What? My feelings are truly hurt.
Yukiko (to Liesel): I'm sure… I know that one of the assassination attempts on Mister Park were sent by you. I don't know what game you're playing at, but let me make this perfectly clear. If I catch you in Nice, I will kill you… I don't play games.
Liesel (to Yukiko): I don't like idle threats, Miss Sato.
Yukiko (to Liesel): There is nothing idle about it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I believe I have an airship to catch.
Liesel (to Yukiko): ...
A little while later:
Yukiko (to Ji Yong): I think it's time we left this place, Mister Park. We don't want to over stay our welcome.
Ji Yong (to Yukiko): Very good. I believe the sooner we depart, the better I will like it.
Yukiko (to Ji Yong): You & me both... I wish we were there already.
Ji Yong (to Yukiko): I do as well. I will be relieved to be back in Nice. I wonder how... Excuse me.
Yukiko (to Ji Yong): Yes, of course.
Ji Yong (to Yukiko): Yes. We should blow this pop stand...
Yukiko (to Ji Yong): ... I have no idea what that means.
Ji Yong (to Yukiko): Honestly, I'm not quite sure.
Yukiko (to Ji Yong): Heehee... There's our ride. C'mon.
Ji Yong (to Yukiko): With distinct pleasure.
A few minutes later, aboard the airship Silent Wake:
Ariadne (to Ji Yong & Yukiko): Hi there, you two... Cat got your tongue? You know, it is customary to give your wife a hug & a kiss after time apart... Or at least, that's what I've been told.
Ji Yong (to Ariadne): Hari! What are you... Je ne m'inquiète pas. Tu m'as manqué.
Ariadne (to Yukiko): Yuki, here's the key to your room. I believe it's down those steps... Mister Park is going to be a tad busy for the rest of the voyage. ;-P (to Ji Yong) I missed you, too. And, don't you ever leave me like that again or I swear I will kill you myself. Now, get over here & kiss me
Yukiko (to Ariadne & Ji Yong): Heh. So, I see. Have fun.
Ji Yong (to Ariadne): I won't.
Several hours later, at Aiden's house; New London, Britannia:
Mrs. Esterly (to Charles): Good evening, Mr. Turner. Sit up straight, dear. I've brought you supper.
Charles (to Mrs. Esterly): Hmmm? Oh! Thank you, ma'am. You don't need to...
Mrs. Esterly (to Charles): Don't you dare finish that sentence, Charles! And don NOT even dare to contemplate getting out of that bed. You need rest.
Charles (to Mrs. Esterly): Um... Y-yes, Mrs. Esterly.
Mrs. Esterly (to Charles): What ever is the matter? You're hardly eating.
Charles (to Mrs. Esterly): I'm... I'm sorry, Mrs. Esterly. I was just wondering what I'm going to do with myself once I'm well. I was thinking... I have no idea where to go... Maybe I'll join the Navy. I think I'm old enough, and they are always looking for volunteers...
Mrs. Esterly (to Charles): Absolutely not.
Charles (to Mrs. Esterly): I... I beg your pardon?
Mrs. Esterly (to Charles): There's a reason that sailors drink so heavily when they're in port. It's a hard life at sea, dear. And you Mr. Turner, you are one of the kindest, sweetest young men I've ever met. Going to sea will destroy that, and I won't allow that to be destroyed. Don't fret. We will work something out. Now. Get some rest.
Charles (to Mrs. Esterly): Yes, ma'am. Good night. ...Thank you.
Mrs. Esterly (to Charles): You're welcome. Good night, Mr. Turner.
