(Master, in less than ten minutes, you've made two women cry and caused another to question what she's doing with her life. I'm impressed.)
[There is no need to be impressed by such things. Master will undoubtedly make more women cry in the future.]
(Eh. I suppose that's true.)
Edward ignored them.
The faint amusement passing between the two systems did nothing to improve his mood. He had already spent too much time being stopped, questioned, and asked to explain himself. If John sent another message before he reached him, Edward might reconsider going at all.
Fortunately, finding him was not difficult.
John and Eric stood together a little apart from the larger groups, engaged in a conversation that had nothing to do with the event they were so eager to discuss.
Edward heard Eric before either man noticed him.
