I wish to thank everyone for their thoughtful, or at least universally appealing, gifts. I think that perhaps, if I find my Inmate graduated by next year, I may return to Paris for the holiday, however.

I would not mark myself a religious man, but the old traditions can be enjoyable at times even for those that need them only as reason to be close to the people they care for.

Or at least have fun, if they have few of those.

[Well, that was a lot less nice than he was planning.]

Monsieur de Lioncourt, it is time we had that proper meeting. You will find my quarters on level three, room four.

[Private to Riddick]

How are you settling?

Yes, there are a good deal of those.

I'm pleased to see you are at least recovering. [He's half tempted to suggest he doesn't look to be sleeping well. So he should come back to his cabin. But he resists.] Slowly but surely.

Private

You know me. Indestructible.

You got paired up without me? Hurt. [He isn't, although it does make him feel a little out of the loop.]

Private

[impure_tale]

It's out of my hands, though in all honesty, I'll probably always feel the need to look after you.

Private

[with_my_teacup]

Is that how that works.

[But he looks actually kind of comforted by that.]

Private

[impure_tale]

Perhaps I simply have trouble getting shot of men that sleep in my bed.

Private

[with_my_teacup]

Oh, lotsa people have trouble getting rid of me.

Still up for me shadowing you on your walks in the morning?

Private

[impure_tale]

Naturally.

Private

[with_my_teacup]

Same time?

Private

[impure_tale]

Oui.

See you then.
