[devoutish]

As we move into the newly discovered area, please be aware that my associates and I are nearby and have many useful items available for trade and in some cases available for free. Many things will be of interest to doctors and explorers especially. Contact privately for more information and to arrange a meet up. Thank you.

[thewarningafter]

Sure. Won't be just me.

[devoutish]

Who are you bringing?

[thewarningafter]

Nathan.

[A flicker of a pause; he doesn't know how Alfie will react to the presence of a cop.]

And David.

[devoutish]

Ah, David, good; we've already discussed meeting.

[So, not badly, apparently.]

Will Nathan behave?

[thewarningafter]

...Have you?

[David, what have you been doing?]

Are you under the impression that I can make promises on Nathan's behalf?

[devoutish]

You're the one bringing him along, mate; if he's gonna cause trouble he can sit on his hands outside.

[thewarningafter]

You go right ahead and tell him that.

[devoutish]

Can he hear me right now?

[notaquaman]

I'm always on my best behavior!

[He shouts from across the way. Yeah, he can hear you.]

When have I ever caused trouble?

[He gives Stephen a "back me up, man" kind of look.]

[thewarningafter]

Not once have I woken up with my hand in a bowl of warm water.

[devoutish]

All right, all right. He can come. But he'll be on probation.

[notaquaman]

Hey, I'm great at being on probation! It's like I'm home already!

[Yeah, he'll probably end up outside.]

[thewarningafter]

...I'm not even going to ask.

[So long traveling together, and it's like he hardly remembers any of his time with Nathan at all....]
