[Juliet is still not trusting herself to video, not after what happened yesterday. Her voice sounds tired and a little shaky.]I must apologize to everyone whom I have met here.

[She can here that, and wonders why she's being mocked. But at the same time, she doesn't. She knows what everyone in the city was able to see yesterday. All she can do is bear it with dignity, as she's told Lord Black to do with his hardships.]

Hey, if anyone gives you any trouble just talk to me, kay miss Juliet. If its Tybalt, i'm pretty sure one of my friends can help you along, but I don't want to see you guys breaking your hearts more over this, okay?
[Hanna gives her a little smile.]
And i'm working on Tybalt...he's stubborn as hell though, as you know, but i've made it my new case, getting him to accept your last name, so...don't worry about it too much. I'm going to do my best!

Don't risk your own friendship with him for my sake, please. He needs his friends, especially now.
But I - I appreciate it, Hanna. Truly.

I'll just keep it hidden away from him so he doesn't get even more irritated.
[He's not too terribly stupid, Juliet. He's got it under control.]
I'll talk to you later, but stay safe and keep smiling, its too pretty to not show off, huh?

It is important to me, though. To my own honor. And, it was important to Tybalt.... It - it is bad enough I still keep secrets. But those are sins of omission, rather than blatant lies.
[She reaches up to squeeze his hand.]
And - if Tybalt truly does not consider me family anymore, then I - I had best get used to my new name.

But to have a secret displayed for all the world to see like that, with the implications of what would result -
[She shakes her head. That still bothers her. Why hadn't she noticed the little machine was working?]
I would, but - but I would have my Romeo, and I would have the authority of the Prince, with luck, to back my decision. And the authority of the Church. I - I could be stronger if Romeo were here.

It is most kind of you to say. It is not as simple a matter as that, I am afraid.

Please, do not tell her of this. She knows that Tybalt is grumpy, but not of anything else, to my understanding. I do not wish her to suffer any hardship.

I do, thank you. I am staying with Spike - 'spiky-haired Spike', as Bubbles calls him - for the time being. He has been most kind to let me have a room.
