[The body of water is dreary, indeed. Sholmes shivers a bit as he walks up, looking over at Nero.]
...What a gloomy place. I can't say our departed friends were exactly enjoying themselves, here.

[ Nero doesn't shiver, looking out over the water. It might not be home, but gloomy and depressing is familiar. The chill in the air is too.
Too bad he didn't die? He's sure that's something he shouldn't say. ]
Reminds me of some of the small villages in East Country.
Lookin' forward to the end?

Mm, that so? Well, it isn't that hard to imagine you in such a place.
[He nods.]
But of course. Every grand adventure has its ending. And we all deserve a good one.

[That coaxes a gentle, tired laugh out of him. Gloomy is fitting, after all.]
After all this heartache, you're right. We didn't even want to get stuck on this adventure.

We certainly did not. But...regardless of everything, some good came out of it, yes?

What was it again? "Hold those jewels close"?

Yes, something like that. And what beautiful jewels they are.
I...don't want to lose them. Not here, not now.

[ At least he seems honest enough. ]
Then we'll have to do whatever we can to keep them.
[ Short of dying. ]

Do you think we'll be up against them tomorrow? The Authority, and...Xaphenia-whats-their-name?

Think it's pretty likely, considerin' they've made enemies with all of us.
Or if not them directly, their factions.

Three factions against us, if we include the Magisterium...
[Hmmm.]
It seems like a rather impossible fight. But perhaps luck will be on our side.

Not when the stakes are this high.
's a different thing when it feels this heavy.

If that's all you have left, though....risks must be taken.

[West with a slightly Eastern filling.]
I think... if everythin' works out, we'll be able to get home.
Or maybe that's wishful thinkin' on my part.

That's something I want to believe in.

If ya wanna believe in it, then put your faith there.
