I know it was a curse, but.

It was nice to have a day when few people seemed interested in fighting, killing, or causing trouble.

I'll savor it. They don't come too often here.

Indeed, it did seem like a rare occasion. Though it proved troublesome in its own way.

[letslip]

I hope nothing untoward happened... ?

[deadlyhealing]

I believe the crisis was narrowly averted.

[letslip]

Might I inquire?

If not- I'm glad it was.

[deadlyhealing]

Ah...let us just say that one of my colleagues who was affected was about to set us back in our research.

[letslip]

I see.

That would have been unfortunate, yes.

[deadlyhealing]

It sounds as though it was a pleasant day for you, on the other hand?

[letslip]

I really like the quiet days-

They're rare here, so I enjoy them while I can.

[deadlyhealing]

A most commendable way of spending one's time in the City.

[letslip]

Think so?

[deadlyhealing]

I do not see why not.

[letslip]

Most people seem to like it more exciting.
