Not sure how happy I am about this. It's not safe out there for- [for a young girl, for someone not quite in her own mind all the time, for someone on their own] it's just not.

Anyone sees her while they're on the road, let me know. Blake, I mean. The librarian woman.

[In the meantime, he might go look for her himself.]

I already planned on going back there...

So I guess I can keep an eye out for her.

[thatsnotaknife]

Onya, mate, ta. Might see ya around in that case.

[hwamei]

Oh? Is she your girlfriend? What happened to New Zealand? [laughs, but this isn't the time for joking around] Leave it to me.

[thatsnotaknife]

Seeing her on the side, s'all very hush hush. [His voice in monotone, however, obviously not in the mood for joking.] Thanks, babe. Just wanna make sure she doesn't get hurt.

[hwamei]

She's just a girl, after all, isn't she?

[ She taps her forehead with the rubber end of her pencil. She was taking notes earlier. ]

Blake and Jacques - I wonder what happened to them before them before they ended up like that.

[thatsnotaknife]

Haven't got a clue. Jackie sold 'em out after they kicked him out of their little club, I know that much.

Hadn't you heard the warning? It would be foolish to go.

[thatsnotaknife]

Warning? Never really paid much attention to those.

[lotuslife]

Are you purposefully choosing to forget what that man is capable of?

[thatsnotaknife]

It's not like I'm planning on causing any trouble, Vettie, don't worry about me.

[thatsnotaknife]

No harm in checking, you never know. And scared people like running.

Ta, love, I 'ppreciate it.

[thatsnotaknife]

Name's Australia, Commonwealth of. G'day, babe.
