CAMMEO:
You’re part of the Committee?
LU:
Yes. I was sent here to watch over you and your sister. Had we known that she'd been returned to human form, I would've come sooner. Given her history, we were concerned about the state of her mind. I'm only
sorry our suspicions were justified.
LU:
… I've already told Herita I'll be escorting her to England - to the Committee. We have experts who’ll try to help her. She's not the first
Seeker to lose her way.
CAMMEO:
But she isn't a Seeker, not anymore. She hasn't been one
for almost 170 years now.
LU:
But she was a Seeker before she became a vampire, back then. That’s when
her troubles began. The Committee failed her, and you. You should not have
been the one to deal with her destructive behavior, then or now.
CAMMEO:
Were you part of the Committee then?
LU:
No, I'm not nearly as old as you. I’ve only been with them for a few years.
LU:
… Here we are. Herita’s inside. I'll give you a few minutes to say good bye.
Then ...
LU:
Why are sitting here, Harm?
HARMONIA:
I’m guarding the door.
LU:
That's not necessary. If Herita tried anything, Cammeo would stop her.
HARMONIA:
I know that. I'm here to stop Karanthir from goin' in. I expect him to be along any minute now. And I'll tell ya something else Louisa …
HARMONIA:
I wouldn't be at all surprised if Syrrah were to show up too. I suspect
she's gonna be more difficult to deal with - but I'm hoping
she'll arrive after you and Herita have gone.
LU:
About that, I'll need to be away for a few weeks and
I'm not comfortable leaving you behind.
HARMONIA:
Are ya thinking I'm about to lose my marbles again?
LU:
That’s a possible …
HARMONIA:
Well don't you worry yourself no more. Bo’s coming to get me.
LU:
Bo?
HARMONIA:
Yes Beau. You remember him - my husband.
LU:
Of course, I'm just a little surprised ...
HARMONIA:
…That he'd drop everything and come for me. Well I'll have you know that he
and I have been corresponding. I done told him that you’d be goin' away and he invited me to come home and visit with my babies for a spell.
LU:
That’s wonderful Harm. I think a little holiday will do you good.
