[He's found himself a place to sit and the background noise is minimal.] Such a Sunday. And what beautiful scenery we have to take in. Sergeant, you believe yourself a man of God, do you not? Perhaps you would like to join me at a service this evening?

[He pauses to take a small drink.]

German...such a wonderful language, as well.

It makes me wonder

[Well, that explained how he found him. Not that John minded. He wasn't exactly trying to hide from him.]

What a useful little device. [That got a smile.] How convenient for the less watchful of your kind.

[John watched him as he drank the coffee, genuinely concerned for how it might taste.]

I'm not worried, Sergeant. I have no plans nor reason to go anywhere but here and the room I am staying at.

I enjoy capturing the world in ways no one else can see. Perhaps I will show you what I see someday.

[John wasn't concerned with the camera. He had more in his room on the Barge, though he would lament the loss of the pictures he had already taken.]

Time is just like the cities. Each year, it grows worse.

[John returned it to where it had been before and sipped at his drink, which was cold by now anyway.]

Pessimistic? Perhaps. But only if you haven't seen what I've seen. That tolerance has grown into a sin in itself.
