[Chris sounds a little bit embarrassed.] I...I wrote this down so's I wouldn't forget but I forgot t'read it. So I thought maybe I'd best say it 'ere in case I forget when I'm actually talkin' to you, like. Harry, I mean. Um, boss. My mate Ray showed up a couple days back and he needs a job an' I said I'd talk t'you about it so I'm doin' it now.

[Ray sounds a lot pissed off. Sorry, Chris.] I bloody knew you'd forget! Can't you do anythin' when you're s'posed to?

[voice]

[justcautious]

[mumbling] Sorry, Ray. Least it's not too late, yeah?

[voice]

[makesfolktalky]

That still don't mean you shouldn't've done it two days ago.

It were hardly much to ask of you, were it?

[voice]

[justcautious]

Well, n-no...

[horrible_penny]

You're too sweet, Chris. Thank you.

I hope your friend Ray has good luck with the job-finding!

[justcautious]

It were nothin'. S'true, anyway.

Ray'll be fine. He's higher ranking than me at 'ome.

[horrible_penny]

Well... if you say so.

That doesn't mean working around the City'll be easy, though. I don't think he's totally sure it's real yet.

[justcautious]

No, Ray's really good at knowin' what's real. 'e just hasn't figured out what exactly's real about the City, yet...

I'm glad y'do.

[awillowywitch]

Awww.

[justcautious]

S'alright, then? Far as compliments go? I weren't sure.

[awillowywitch]

I like any kind of compliment! So, yes. Good.

[dresden4hire]

Thanks, although you're pretty good at the detective work yourself.

[justcautious]

Oh, uh. Ta, Harry.

But the important bit. My mate who needs the job. You'll talk t'him, won't you, boss?

[dresden4hire]

He's a cop from you world?

[justcautious]

Yeah, same division an' all. He's higher up in rank t'me, too. Detective Sergeant.
