[at the approximate center of camp, a lady is sitting on top of an extremely large pile of luggage.]

Do you think you have a reason for being here?

[she's smoking, for good measure.]

No more than you, I'm willing to bet.

[ensorcells]

You think I don't have a reason, myself?

[healingcock]

I think you'd have to be pretty sure of your specialness to say otherwise. Which, all things considered, might be possible-- but I remain ever a skeptic.

[ensorcells]

Everyone's special in their own way.

[healingcock]

Say that with a straight face.

[ensorcells]

Everyone's special in their own way.

[healingcock]

... oh. Well, okay then.

[ensorcells]

You disagree?

[healingcock]

Let's just say I'm too cynical for that sort of belief.

[ensorcells]

I'd think it it might be easier to believe, in such a place.

[healingcock]

Because everyone here's so... special?

[ensorcells]

I'd think so.

[healingcock]

How vague.

[ensorcells]

I've been told I'm not good with specifics.

[healingcock]

Well... a lady does need an air of mystery about her, doesn't she?

[ensorcells]

That's what I've always taken to heart.
