So, hey...

[Hey, Keelial. Remember him? He looks a lot more tired than before, his hair is ruffled and his shirt looks partly undone. It looks like he's sat in the College.]

Anyone noticed the pattern on the Turtle's shell? It's... pulsing. It started like... three? Four days ago? The time between the pulses is getting shorter.

I'm not sure what this means, but... hey. It sounds important, right? I've done some math and, well... I think... [Yawn.] ...I think the pulses are gonna stop in a week or so. If the period between them keeps getting shorter.

Assuming that's what this is.

I do know of one place, but he'll expect to get part of my fee for entertaining you.

[consultingbishop]

[Okay, this is getting to be a bit too much.]

Alright. I need you to do me a favour.

[celticromanstone]

[ She'd be sorry, but he started it. ]

What's that, darling?

[consultingbishop]

The flirting. I'd like you to take it down to about a 5, maybe a 6? I mean, it's fun and all, but I can't be running at 11 all the time.

[celticromanstone]

[ She laughs. ]

I wasn't flirting, darling. Merely stating a fact. It's the only bar in the Fire Sector that has a decent wine vintage. I didn't want you shocked when he asked for part of my fee.

[consultingbishop]

And here you said you didn't know anywhere.

[celticromanstone]

Nowhere that allows me to be off the clock as it were, no.

[consultingbishop]

I also thought you said you were a nurse.

[celticromanstone]

I am. But that's not all that I am.

[consultingbishop]

A little bit on the side, then?

[celticromanstone]

Something like that. I've been a part of the oldest profession for a while. It's fun.

[consultingbishop]

Well, if you don't want to cut into your tips, I've heard there's a place in the Sky Sector that's ran by one of us. Should go show some solidarity, huh?

[celticromanstone]

That would be just fine. Hopefully, they have a decent wine selection.

[consultingbishop]

If not, there's some interesting cocktails I could introduce you to.

[celticromanstone]

Not really one for mixed drinks. But a nice ale? I could go for that, if there's no wine.

[consultingbishop]

Not one for experimenting, I take it?

[celticromanstone]

I think I'm over my experimenting days.

[consultingbishop]

You can never be done experimenting.

[celticromanstone]

Oh yes you can.

[consultingbishop]

You should tell that to my dad. He's either trying to fix the timelines, or invent a new kind of toaster strudel.

[celticromanstone]

Ick. Toaster strudel. And what do you mean, fix the timelines?
