I can't say I have all that much to complain about. Not when I have two of the people I know best from home here now. It wasn't always like that. For a while, it was just me.
Oh. So I guess it was affecting people in different ways.
That's great. Oh I know that feeling.. The first few months were full of those lonely, feeling lost days. I'm glad we've both found something good now.
And I'm glad about meeting you, too. Our first night together hasn't left my thoughts.
Yeah, looks like it.. Did you experience something different?
It was almost harder having them here and then not. I still feel like I'm lucky that they even came back at all. But I'm glad you're situated. It's easier to get by in this city once you actually have a contract.
[ oh. ] I think about it too, sometimes.
This is going to sound crazy, but it was almost something closer to wanting to start a family.
Not that I've been keeping track, but it really seems like there are less and less of us overall these days. Especially when people leave as suddenly as they do.
No, I wouldn't either. Just putting it out there.
It's strange, though. I've never had a feeling like that before. The idea never even crossed my mind. But suddenly when the egg was around it was all I could think about.
Not really. It's still there, maybe, to an extent. Something to think about for the future if we ever go back home and it gets to happen. It's not the kind of thing we could try for here.
Guilty as charged. I miss feeling your lips and hands on my body, Finn.
That's a good plan. This isn't the most ideal place for starting a family. It's something I've been thinking about, too... When I finally get to go back to New York.
I'd be happy to. There's so much to tell.. I was misled to believe that he was involved in my brother's disappearance. Turns out our common enemy wanted to trick us both and distract me from the mission.
[ he thinks he knows what she means when she says that, but the truth is he's not used to hearing it described like that. ]
So you think this Brook person could have had something to do with your brother going missing? It sounds like he was trying to throw you off the trail.

Oh? I'm glad I'm not the only one. Actually, I wouldn't say no to it happening again.
Not crazy at all, Finn. That's kinda really sweet.

There's a nice tub here and the bed's big and comfy. Just putting it out there.
Those eggs were powerful and strange. Do you still have that feeling?

Is there someone there waiting for you? Back home?
no subject
Yeah. His name's Frank.. We went from enemies to lovers. Long story.
no subject
Sounds like one. But if you ever want to tell it to me sometime, I'd listen.

no subject
So someone wanted to manipulate you, or the both of you? It sounds like you figured out what the truth was eventually.
no subject
Frank thinks they were targeting us both somehow. Because he had been looking for Shane, too. I can't stand Brook. He's a bad, bad man.

[She's more than happy to give him more details about her current state.]
It's very likely. Can't believe he managed to trick me into hating Frank... Luckily it didn't last for long.
no subject
[ oh. ]
Well, I guess I'll have to get a look at the new place eventually.
Sometimes it's easy for people to mislead us when we don't have the full story ourselves.
