[April doesn't even bother with a response, knowing her partner expected her to act on his message without hesitation as she proves a short while later as she leisurely strolls into the marked area, looking like she didn't have a care in the world. She figured it wouldn't be long before he caught her attention. He never did like to be found until he was good and ready for it.]

[Indeed, he all but materializes out of thin air over her shoulder a few minutes later. Except that since she's had the same training he has, she probably hears him coming where most people wouldn't.]

How are you finding the City so far?

[A polite question, with just enough amusement to indicate that he's quite sure she's doing all right.]

[She doesn't hear him, but she does sense him. One didn't pair up with "Mr. Jack Simon" for very long without acquiring one.]

It doesn't exactly give you much time to be bored does it?

[Said with a smile, her own amusement emphasizing the understatement.]

You missed the beheading curse.

[A beat.]

No need to worry. Its victims got better.

[He steps to the side of her, then gestures to a subway entrance with a small, deadpan flourish.]

Go down here, then take the wrong turn before the subway and you'll be in the Underground. Tell me, have you checked whether your ability works the same here?

On several occasions, the City has 'rained' photographs taken from inhabitants' innermost thoughts.

How intrusive.

When one has limited and or lacks photos of those they're fond of or simply wishes to have 'dirt' on others, it can be a blessing in disguise.

But if Mr Simon's photo were in that hall, he wouldn't be able to see it.

Why not look my best for whoever does see it?

Then you should smile more. It may leave a good impression.

I do my best to smile already. You think it's not enough?

It would be a comforting thought, to think we would only leave when our business has been wrapped up.

But untrue.

It's a shame how that works out.

You'd said you came alone.

So I did. But these things change.

Should I ask if that pleases you?

I don't know. Should you?

...Kidding.
