"Well, I'm enjoying the nightlife here, but don't feel any particular pressure to stay or leave. Darling?"

"I would like to kill that fey, or one like it, before we go."

She laughs. "Your wish is my command, then. Perhaps we shall lay a pretty trap."

"Your help is appreciated."

"I wouldn't mind asking one questions, but perhaps I can be the bait."

"As you like."

Hisame smiles at them both and leans into the Keres.

She puts an arm around Hisame.

"I may require your assistance as well, once you have finished with your questions."

"I expect so. The fey are - it's debatable how... Present they are. You might be - fighting a shadow of something larger."

"So I have gleaned from these texts."

"I'll help you, definitely, I just don't know how fast it might escalate."

"A little exciting, yes?"

She laughs. "Thrilling!"

"As long as one is prepared."

"Of course. Controlled risks are preferable."

"I rather like risking it all, myself."

"You have less to protect than she does, I think."

"One point! My own darling is not particularly vulnerable, either."

"Whereas I possess nothing but my own life. I suppose that is why I value it more."

"Oh, no, I've always been horridly reckless with myself."

"That seems a better way to die than to live, to me."

"But then where's the fun in life?"

"The extent, mainly."

She laughs. "Life's often short, even for the cautious, at least where I'm from."

"I am glad, then, that I am not of your world."
