At the risk of stating the obvious, it's March, what the bloody hell is going on this time?
If I'm forced to resort to iced tea again I'm going to be entirely unimpressed.

To be fair, it is a tropicalish island, right?

Though... those earthquakes aren't really usual. They're not, right? That's unusual? I think I'm a little concerned.

It's still bloody March, Ukraine. Even the sodding Bahamas don't see temperatures like this in March. The Sahara doesn't see temperatures like this in March. Something's going on.

If I wasn't already concerned the earthquakes would have clinched it.

What's wrong with iced tea?

It's a bloody aberration is what.

But it's a cold one.

At this point that is really the only reason for my tolerance.
You're alright in this heat, aren't you, lad?

Remind me to bring you sodas instead of iced tea if it comes to that.

I've got it handled.

Ah, how terribly thoughtful of you.

Do you really have it handled or is that a roundabout way of saying you're uncomfortable and would rather not go into detail about it.

I'm the thoughtfullest.

I have it handled, Arthur. Winter's more persistent than you think.

I'm well acquainted with Canada enough to be very aware of how persistent winter can be.
Very well, then, if you're going to insist, but if you do get yourself into trouble I do hope you'll tell me before there's no way to get you out of it.

I set up a pool on the roof. wanna hang out?

... Really?

you got something better to do?

.. I suppose not.
I just find your sincerity a little surprising.

what! I can be nice

I'm sure you can...
Uh. Thank you, Poland.

whateverr Don't make it weird. are you coming to the pool or not??

Yes, yes, I'm coming.

I thought you would be used to the island's eccentricities.

I am. That doesn't mean I have to like them.

Of course not. Aside from the impending trouble, everything is well?

As well as might be expected. How are you holding up?

Well enough. Still adjusting to life in a world where I wasn't meant to exist.

It takes some getting used to, doesn't it.

One could say that. But then I'm no longer meant to exist in my own world either.

You might easily say that of me, but I think, Helen, that if we do exist then it's because we were meant to.

You were born into the life you led. I became something else. I don't deny the benefits, the necessity of continuing my father's work, but lines were crossed that shouldn't have been.

If we're going to be splitting hairs I wasn't born at all and I've changed into different things more times than I like to think about.

I certainly shan't argue with you on the validity of your own existence, but I won't say that it wasn't meant to be.

Of course. And in any case, now is hardly the time for such debates. More important matters, I believe. Perhaps some time you'd care to elaborate on these different lives you've led?
