On the streets; New London, Britannia:
Fiona (to Yukiko): HERE'S where you've been hiding my wee, ickle ninja.
Yukiko (to Fiona): Thank the bloody gods you found me, Fi! I was about to be bored to death by the tossers.
Fiona (to Yukiko): Oh? Heh heh. Which tossers were those? There are so many to choose from. Come with me. I believe you owe me a drink. Or three. Or four.
Yukiko (to Fiona): I owe you a drink? What the hell for? Did you do something nice for me when I wasn't looking? :-P
Fiona (to Yukiko): Well, there was that time un Forfar, and that incident in Sicily where I stabbed that bloke in the thigh for you.
Yukiko (to Fiona): Hmmmm, Sicily? ... Was that the bloke that said he bet I couldn't stab him in the thigh with a cocktail fork from twenty feet? You know, without using my hands... So, you did it? Cuz, that was funny. And, I'm fairly certain I bought you a bottle of Rye, afterwards.
Fiona (to Yukiko): Oh yes! And that ruddy time in Hong Kong I kept you from bleeding out, and you told me that the next time, the VERY next time, you'd be picking up my tab. And that bottle of rye was for O'Ryan.
Yukiko (to Fiona): Fine, fine... I didn't realize you were keeping track, Fi. I would have thought we were even by now. I've saved you just as much I'm sure.
Fiona (to Yukiko): Ha ha ha! Of course I'm keeping track. Come on with you, tiny bit. So... What on earth has gotten you so wound up?
Yukiko (to Fiona): I live on a floating deathtrap with my boyfriend, his sister, her boyfriend and her awful pet squirrel. What could possibly be wrong? ... I used to be a world class assassin and now I'm mucking with airship engines... I'm just fine... Actually, I really want to punch something... or someone.
Fiona (to Yukiko): Hmmm. Lucky for you I know just the place. So... Life on the airship not exactly what you're hoping for?
Yukiko (to Fiona): What are you kidding me? Everyday is an adventure... Just mostly the kind that involves crawling around an engine, making sure we stay afloat. I knew it was going to be different. I just didn't realize how different.
Fiona (to Yukiko): Here we are. If we can't get in a fight here, there's no hope for the empire. Come on. Let's get a drink and get some of that pent up aggression out of your system before you blow a gasket and run off to murder a head of state.
