robopriest | RUFUS CATCH-ALL

...To your face, Rufus.

[COME ON]

I just told you.

What did you sleep on, a pillow covered in spikes or something? You just woke up like that?

Yes.

...

[Just. Glances down at the catwolf.]

[He can practically hear that accusatory glance.]

He wasn't with me.

Where was he, then?

The inn.

And where were you, if not there?

I wonder.

...Do you not know?

Answers aren't always cheap.

This, again. [UGHH] What do you want in exchange? Info?

Do you have it?

I have some info about the kitchen, yes.

Was something there?

Yes. Two dirty bowls left in the sink, and an open cereal box. Apparently cereal was found in the planetarium, too.

And the bowls?

Filled with the remnants of coffee.

. . . The railroad station.

[A smile spreads across his face.]

That's not a good place to sleep, Rufus. What were you doing up there?

I was there to observe.

Observe what? If there were trains coming by?

Yes—as well as any changes to the area.

And? Any changes? Any nighttime trains come to whisk you away?
