Well, look at that—four years to the day, City. And really, it's been such a pleasure. Do I get a prize? I reckon it's deserved.

On another note, Christmas shopping for you lot is bloody difficult. You'd think a girl would learn by now.

We all do. Where's home for you?

[trenchknives]

Atlantic City, New Jersey. You?

[hexuality]

A little village in Devon, back in England. But I'm at school up in Scotland for most of the year.

[trenchknives]

Scotland, huh? I went there once. Nice place.

[hexuality]

Yeah? What were you doing?

[trenchknives]

I was in the military. Stopped over there on the way to France.

[hexuality]

I've never been to France but I've got in-laws there. Did you like it?

[trenchknives]

Yeah, it seemed pretty okay. 'cept for the war part, y'know.

[hexuality]

Oh.

Er, which one?

[trenchknives]

[A slight laugh.]

Right. I kinda forgot you had more'n one. 1917. The one you call World War I.

[hexuality]

Well, I've got it a bit different too. But I know about that one. Glad you got through alright.

[trenchknives]

All right enough, minus the leg injury. How d'you have it a bit different?

[hexuality]

My society had its own war happening while World War I was.

[The First Wizarding War with Grindelwald. They never really had to know about Muggle history when that happened at the same time.]

I'm sorry about your leg.

[trenchknives]

I see, so... even though you're from a part of the world that was involved in that war, you weren't really part of it?

[hexuality]

That's right.

I mean, that, and I wasn't born yet.

[trenchknives]

Right. Those damn timelines always get me all confused.

[hexuality]

They're worse when you've got people from home ahead or behind you and there are secrets to keep.

[trenchknives]

The bad kinda secrets, right?

[hexuality]

Exactly. The kind you can't change.

[trenchknives]

Guess it's good I don't have anyone from home around here. There's a lotta shit like that that I wouldn't wanna deal with.
