Onboard the Wicked Sister:
Felix (to Zoe): Right, that's the end of our... What the hell happened?
Zoe (to Felix): Home sweet-- Holy shit! What happened in here!?! Were we attacked by interior decorators? What happened to all our stuff?
Felix (to Zoe): ... I don't know. Whose things are these? I'm fairly positive I don't own a... whatever this might be.
Zoe (to Felix): Let's go find Victor...
A few minutes later:
Zoe (to Victor): Victor! What's going on here!?!
Victor (to Zoe & Felix): Ruddy 'ell, Zoe. You are bloody *loud*, you know that? Oof. My ruddy cobbler...
Zoe (to Victor & Felix): I'll cobbler you! What did you do to our room? We go away for a week & you give away our room?
Felix (to Victor): It's not a reassuring feeling, Captain.
Victor (to Zoe & Felix): What? Ohhhh. Fuck me. I bloody forgot. We thought you two might want more space. I mean, there's two of you, innit there? Heh... And Felix is the ruddy first mate. I meant to tell you a'fore you got back in, but... Heh. I went drinking with Yuki and Luc last night. Cor... I'm outta my league with them.
Zoe (to Victor): ... You are wonderful, big brother!
Victor (to Zoe): Oops. Oh God... No rocking the Captain, Zoe!
Zoe (to Victor & Felix): So, where did you move us? And, who's stuff is in the room? Oh... Maybe, I don't want to know.
Felix (to Victor): Heh. Thank you, Captain.
Victor (to Zoe & Felix): You're in the big bunk down from the galley. It wasn't a bother. We're lucky to have you & Felix, and... Oh god... And I should go to the head. Right now!
Zoe (to Victor): Feel better! (to Felix) Heh... He said he's lucky to have us. He missed us. It's adorable.
Felix (to Zoe): Heh heh. He likes a crowd as much your pappa.
Zoe (to Felix): Certainly seems like it... Shall we go check out our new living space?
Felix (to Zoe): Heh. I think we should.
Zoe (to Felix): ... What's with the grin, sexy man?
Felix (to Zoe): Am I grinning? ... I suppose it's reassuring. When we came back to find everything gone, I thought maybe the Captain had decided I was too big a liability to keep onboard. What with the whole fiasco with Josette...
Zoe (to Felix): My brother might be an idiot sometimes but, he wouldn't just throw your stuff to the curb without an explanation. And Josette wasn't your fault. She aimed right for the squishy bits which is family. We all have a weak spot when it comes to our loved ones.
Felix (to Zoe): That we do, don't we? At least I'm in good company. Come here for a moment, pretty lady.
Zoe (to Felix): Only for a moment?
Felix (to Zoe): I only need a moment to get you to want to stay longer.
Zoe (to Felix): Heh... You're awfully sure of yourself.
Felix (to Zoe): Heh. I am. I've got good reason to be.
Zoe (to Felix): ... You are the sexiest man alive.
Felix (to Zoe): Heh heh. Whether I am or not doesn't matter. So long as you think I am, I'm a happy man, gorgeous girl.
Zoe (to Felix): You certainly know how to stroke a girl's ego... Wow. Look at this place. I can't believe they did all this. And, here you were thinking that Victor was mad at you.
Felix (to Zoe): ... Wow. I guess not.
Zoe (to Felix): Oh my god, we've got our own place, Felix, like real people... Sort of. I mean, it's on my brother's airship but still. This is so perfect. They even gave us a tiny kitchen of our own.
Felix (to Zoe): I guess the Captain wasn't kidding when he said they were grateful to have us. ... Well.
Zoe (to Felix): Heh. Want me to make us some food?
Felix (to Zoe): I'd like that. Judging by how green your brother's face looked, I think we'll be on our own for supper.
Zoe (to Felix): Heh. I think you're probably right. I can't believe he tried to drink with Yuki & Luc. What the hell was he thinking? It looks like I have the ingredients for Jambalaya. Sound good?
Felix (to Zoe): Jambalaya sounds perfect, pretty lady. Heh heh... I suppose he didn't want to face the fact that his tiny girlfriend & little brother can out drink him.
Zoe (to Felix): Well, that's just stupid. Yuki partnered with Fiona & Luc was raised in private schools and well, evil folks... Oh wait... This is one of those guy things, isn't it?
Felix (to Zoe): Heh. Heh. It is indeed.
Zoe (to Felix): Boys are weird.
A few hours later, at the Longfellow bunker, The Tombs; New London, Britannia:
Eva (to Charles): No, no! I don't care what your excuse is, Mr. Turner. I should slap you in another cast. It would serve you right. Stay off it at the least. (to George) Make sure he stays OFF that leg! Hog tie him if you must.
George (to Eva): …
Charles (to Eva): Um. Y-- yes, miss. (to George) I think Ms. Eva is a bit cross with me.
George (to Charles): It would certainly seem that way... I'll be right back.
A minute later:
George (to Eva): Eva! Hold up! Would you please stop marching off like a drill sargeant?
Eva (to George): ... What is it, George?
George (to Eva): Is Charles' ankle really doing that badly?
Eva (to George): ... I wasn't telling him to keep it on for at least another week because I was annoyed with him, you know.
George (to Eva): That's why I'm asking... You've been acting a little on edge, lately. Are you okay?
Eva (to George): His tibia was broken in two spots and his talus had a hairline fracture. If he doesn't wish to walk with a limp for life, he needs to take care. Of course I'm fine! ... I'm sorry I shouted, George. I haven't been sleeping.
George (to Eva): I'm sorry... Should we call your sister, Eva?
Eva (to George): No. I'm quite alright. Besides, I doubt Una is getting any more sleep than I am. We've been trying to solve the problem with that Sarkozi woman and Felix's sister. There's a solution, I KNOW there is! We're just not seeing it yet.
George (to Eva): ... Why not use the device of my father's she spoke of?
Eva (to George): ... Which device?
George (to Eva): Oh... The device that transfers consciousness that Josette mentioned to her brother. It really exists. Father did use it on people. It was one of the things he used me to power... I still have nightmares about it, sometimes. They're probably at our house. It's where Father kept all his papers. He has-- had a very unique filing system.
Eva (to George): What?! Oh... Oh! George! That could do it! If we could get our hands on the plans, we might be able to save Ms Baldwin! I'm sure Mr. Tesla can make improvements in the thermal electromagnetic... Don't worry, George. We would never involve you. I think you've suffered more than enough because of your father...You don't think he's alive either, do you?
George (to Eva): ... Would it be wrong of me if I said that I hope not?
Eva (to George): No. Not in the slightest. I'm sorry. That's not very comforting, is it.
George (to Eva): Heh. In a strange way, it is. Do you think one of the Potters can take us to the house to retrieve Father's papers?
Eva (to George): I'm sure one of them can be spared... Are you sure you want to go, George?
George (to Eva): Honestly, I'd prefer not to but, I know where Father keeps everything.
Eva (to George): As you say. I'll speak to Mrs. Potter and find out who is available for... Good heavens! I-- I think I should lay down soon.
George (to Eva): Whoa... Eva? You're looking a little green around the gills.
Eva (to George): It's alright, George. I'm alright... It seems that 72 hours awake in a row is my limit. What has become of me? I used to be able to go much longer.
George (to Eva): ... I'm not sure how to respond to that. Do you need help getting to a room?
Eva (to George): No, no. I'm sure I can manage... I'll find somewhere to curl up for a few hours, and I'm sure I'll be fine.
George (to Eva): Alright. Get some sleep. Let me know when it's time to travel.
Eva (to George): I will... Good night, George.
George (to Eva): Good night, Eva.
A short time later:
Luc: Where does one find aspirin in this place?
Eva (to Luc): Oof! I beg your pardon, Mister... Oh! Luc. Excuse me. What was I doing? ...Oh, yes. I was going to lie down.
Luc (to Eva): ... Shhhh. Could you please speak a little softer, Eva? ... If you're lying down, why are you heading for the kitchen?
Eva (to Luc): ...Was I? Why on earth was I doing that?
Luc (to Eva): I'm not quite sure... Do you need help?
Eva (to Luc): No, no, no. Why would I need help finding the... Where was I going again? I think I've been up too many hours in a row...
Luc (to Eva): Come with me, Eva. You clearly need a bed. I'm sure there's a spare one to be had around here. Or would you prefer Miss Popp-- my mother to bring you back to the monastery?
Eva (to Luc): No. I think it's best if I lie down somewhere. Mmmm... Wha-- What was it you said you needed, Luc?
Luc (to Eva): Heh. I was looking for aspirin but I think you need assistance more... Now, stop squirming... Do you ever eat?
Eva (to Luc): Hold on a moment... Here you are. And of course I eat! I'm positive I've had something in the past... Um... I'm sure I've had something recently. I would have fainted by now if I hadn't.
Luc (to Eva): Thank you for the aspirin... I think this room will suffice. I believe it's one of the guest rooms. Will you be alright?
Eva (to Luc): Yes, yes... I mean, thank you, Luc. I'll be fine. I'm afraid this isn't the first time I've necleckted... neglected? Neglected! Neglected. Neglected my physical well being while thinking a bit too hard on something. ...You are VERY handsome.
Luc (to Eva): Oh, thank you... Are you sure you're feeling alright?
Eva (to Luc): ... I beg your pardon. We have a potential solution to the problem that's been keeping me awake, and it has me feeling... Heh... Feeling a bit like celebrating despite my semi-delirious state, I suppose. I'll leave you to your aspirin.
Luc (to Eva): Heh... I'm not refusing, Eva. I just thought you weren't interested in revisiting our previous encounter. You seemed taken aback by continued flirtations so I had assumed that you wanted to be friends. I beg your pardon if I was mistaken.
Eva (to Luc): It wasn't dis-... What is the bloody word? Disinterest! It wasn't disinterest, Luc... I was confused by your continuous flirtation. I'm certainly attractive enough, but I have a rather, uh, odd personality. In my experience, most gentleman are more interested in a physical relationship. Once I've had them, the mystique wears off.
Luc (to Eva): I happen to like odd.
Eva (to Luc): Clearly. Come with me then. If you're not feeling too poorly, that is.
Luc (to Eva): Heh. I'm not feeling that badly. I think I can handle it.
Eva (to Luc): Good. Don't worry. I'm sure I'm far too exhausted to keep you quite as occupied as last time.
Luc (to Eva): Heh... I'm willing to test that theory.
Eva (to Luc): Well, you're about to find out, Mr. Vadrouiller. Now, do come along. While I'm still conscious. Chop, chop.
Luc (to Eva): Yes, ma'am. ;-)
