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 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 already sent him away once, 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. Beau’s coming to get me.
LU:
Beau?
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. I'll have you know that we
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.
