[Elena has on her serious business face this Halloween. She's still showing slight signs of paleness from what was another bout of 'sickness' but she's clearly strong enough to be out of the clinic and back in her own apartment.]It turns out the 'illness' I had before came back - unfortunately, I found out it's not caused by bad food or a nasty

Oh heck no.
Brb let her think this through for a couple seconds because this is What She Does.
She's still looking irritated by the time she replies because Oh No Someone Did Not >| -- still, first things first.]
At least you're all right. You managing okay now?

So far so good.
[Small, wry smile. As well as can be expected anyway.]

[Pause, and then srs time]
...Misaki mentioned you were the one who named that dog -- Sir Francis? He's hung around our place a few times.

I did. I know he likes to go out a lot - he hasn't caused you any problems, has he?
[The woman didn't like the idea of curbing the dog's freedoms, since he seemed to enjoy roaming about, but she would take care of it if there was an issue. She considered the stray to be her responsibility even if he visited other Underworld denizens.]

Do you... know anything about him? Where he's come from or anything, I mean.

[Another pause.] ...Was Sir Francis with you when you were attacked?

That's right.
[Then her head shakes.]
No...and it's probably for the best. He probably would have tried to stop it...and...I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have been able to.

...It's habit for me to consider every possibility, so don't take this the wrong way -- but do you think it's possible that Sir Francis had anything to do with the attack?
Like I said, he's been around here before, and he's -- smart. Unnaturally so, almost, and with the way things operate around here, it's... well, I wouldn't rule it out as impossible.

I think...I think you might be right, Jill.

For now... is Sir Francis anywhere nearby?

Nate's having me over until we figure this out - I'm...not sure how much good it'll do, but I guess it's better than staying alone. Or so he keeps trying to tell me.

Whether it's Sir Francis or not, I don't need to tell you that this thing is dangerous. Give me a call if you need a hand, or an extra pair of eyes, or... whatever you think you'll need. [There's some earnesty in her tone -- her offer isn't just a formality.] I'll be there if you need me.

I will Jill, thanks.
