... How d'you reckon the rest of the family's holdin'?

[withswagger]

. . . I think they're confident. Whatever doubts we have, there is no weak link.

[ slight nod ]

All pullin' toward winnin', one way or t'other.

[withswagger]

Precisely.

Though this kill... I haven't seen their reactions. Do you want me to tell you how they feel about it?

[bad_in_latin]

D'you know?

[withswagger]

It's my job to find out.

[bad_in_latin]

... Keep tabs. Not creepy spy tabs, jus' a finger on the pulse of the group.

[withswagger]

[...nods]

Leave it to me, then.

[bad_in_latin]

Shiny. Dependin' on you.

[withswagger]

...Well! Good. It's about time you use the best Courtesan in the Pearl.

[bad_in_latin]

[withswagger]

As a partner in crime?

[bad_in_latin]

You complainin'?

[withswagger]

Encouraging you, actually.

[bad_in_latin]

Good. Wouldn't mind doin' this more often.

[withswagger]

[ not moving yet ]

[withswagger]

Here I thought you took to it well.

[bad_in_latin]

Usually. Except when I wanna have fun.

[withswagger]

So I was going about it the wrong way. You've daring and excitement to share so long as it isn't in bed.

[bad_in_latin]

S'about the size of it.

[withswagger]

Aah, well. As disappointed as I will continue to be, I'll take it.

[bad_in_latin]

[ silent for a moment ]

That real, honest disappointment?

[withswagger]

[blinks at him...

then gets cagey]

No need to worry about shattering my heart, Bergen, I'm more resilient than that.

[bad_in_latin]

It ain't that. M'tryin' for a honest sense of what you want.
