Keep your wits about you, it's only a murder.

[he says that in a sort of... heavily wry way, though]

[bad_in_latin]

Only that, huh.

[ lets his breath out in a long sigh ]

[withswagger]

... If you've need of air, let me accompany you.

[bad_in_latin]

What if I'm feelin' the need t'do something stupid too?

[withswagger]

Is this a trait of you Primes, so eager to be disposable despite your indispensability?

[bad_in_latin]

... That ain't it. I know what me gettin' hurt does to the rest've you.

[withswagger]

. . . Then what are you going on about?

[bad_in_latin]

Hell, I dunno. Jus' gotta get out an' do something.

[withswagger]

Then let me go with you! As an accomplice, if I must-- I am no keeper.

[bad_in_latin]

[ he opens his mouth to protest. pauses. ]

... Wanna steal a boat?

[withswagger]

. . .

[withswagger]

. . . Is that -- such proper behavior for men of the establishment?

[bad_in_latin]

Hell no.

[withswagger]

. . .

That's one way to cool off.

[straightens up off the side of the wall]

We ought to leave a note at least, lest we get captured playing at thieves.

[bad_in_latin]

'Spose that's the responsible thing t'do.

We got any paper t'do it on?

[withswagger]

We're hardly aiming for responsible, are we. Wait for me to write it on something lest I be cross with you for days.

[bad_in_latin]

Hey, I'm waitin'. Look at me bein' all dutiful and Primely.

[withswagger]

Thank you.

[goes to write GONE 2 STEAL A BOAT somewhere

before coming back 8I;]

[bad_in_latin]

We good?

[withswagger]

Set.

Let us be off then, in search of some crime.

[bad_in_latin]

Right. Reckon the docks are off this way.

[ headnig out ]

[withswagger]

[...following along.]

Why a boat, Prime?

[bad_in_latin]

Hell if I know. Just seems right, don't it?

[withswagger]

...I admit I like the sound of it.

[bad_in_latin]

Right. An' I dunno about you, but them walls get mighty close after so long.
