[bibliowolf]

I've been in this universe for six months now and, surprisingly, this has been only my fourth trip to Europe. In this case, it was to England again. The weather in London is just as I expected it to be this time of year. I believe it rained a good half of the time I was there; fortunately, Brompton Cemetery has a certain charm that one can only

Ahem.

[bibliowolf]

Feeling better, are you?

[bluffing_ruffle]

In one sense, if not another.

[private]

[bibliowolf]

I do want to apologize for leaving the way I did.

You were the one who helped with the kid at the bank, right?

You doing alright, sugar?

[bibliowolf]

Ah, yes, that was me. I don't believe we had time for formal introductions. My name is Remus.

[Amused.]

No worse than expected. Yourself?

[doubleclicked]

You can call me Mouse.

I lost a few hours of work to that mess. Powering everything back up was a pain. I'm just glad that I wasn't offlined.

[bibliowolf]

It's nice to meet you, Mouse.

Were you able to salvage what you lost?

[Pause.]

You?

[ascending_angel]

I think I ought to follow your lead and take a vacation too. You've got the right idea.

[bibliowolf]

You'd be surprised how helpful they can be. I've heard that India is nice this time of year.

[ascending_angel]

You're telling me; I was right in the middle of a much needed one when I got ported here.

Though India does sound nice, and strangely I have never been. Have you?

[bibliowolf]

It was Christmas in my world. A rather good one at that.

Yes, I have, though it was nearly ten years ago.

How nice to hear another voice from England. What are you researching?

[bibliowolf]

I don't believe we've spoken before. I'm Remus.

History and law. I've taken a recent interest in criminal law due to the influence of a friend.

[lady_coulter]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Remus. My name is Marisa.

Criminal law - I imagine that's a very useful thing to know. If there's one thing this city seems to have no shortage of, it's criminals.

[bibliowolf]

It's very nice to meet you as well, Marisa.

There are a number of lawyers that have been brought in. So far, they've all been extremely helpful to us here.

[gallitrap]

Welcome back!

[bibliowolf]

I should be at the apartment shortly, there's something I wish to give you. In an attempt to apologize for my rather abrupt vacation. I promise next time, I will bring you along.

[gallitrap]

You didn't have to get me anything. But thank you!

[bibliowolf]

I wanted to and it seems like something you'll put to great use.
