So, who knows anything about AI and/or fixing some seriously delicate hardware? Both, even. Got a buddy of mine who fries like an egg in sunlight here and I'm hoping to get him up and running like the good ol' days. My nest egg seems to have disappeared from the last time I was here, but... I'll do whatever I can to pay you back for your time. Errands and stuff.

Seriously, I would really just appreciate getting ALFRED back. It's weird not having him around. You know?

Who the heck's Alfred?

You've seen her cool glasses? That's him!

Oh, absolutely. If you can time a terrible event to me taking a vacation, all the better for the both of us.

I'll be sure to ask Titamon next time to go away if you're still around. Surely he'll see reason and count on it.

Okay, I better get going before Ed gets jealous.

If only all the crises had such easy ways to get rid of them.

Tell him it's just a fling, not to worry. You're coming back!

[codes]

I don't think he's into threesomes. Trust me, I tried to talk him into one already.

Not with me, but with some other stuff. It's complicated--but don't worry, I'll return.

[ Misha just laughs. ]

I believe you. You've got a better track record than I do.

[codes]

Hey now, you've returned. It just took you a few weeks. [ Teasing. ]

It'll be before you even know it. Just wait.

[interspace]

Oh, I'll bet you knew I was coming back all along.

I'm good at waiting, don't worry about it.
