And Richard gets nervous again. He shifts his luggage so he can put a hand in his coat.
---
"Good. I think we're leaving in the morning."
---
"Just like that?" He looks at the cage.

The guys look up! One of them tips a hat. "Evening."
"We need a ride to the Wilson place. How much do you charge?"
--
"Mmmm."
--
"Just like that."

Tipping hats is suspicious. Richard frowns.

"We're taking Matthew's airship."

"Huh."

"Ten for you, miss." The oldest looking one smiles.
She smiles back. "Thank you. Where is your coach?"
--
"Of course he has an airship."
--
"Think you'll need anything else?"

Richard is now fully convinced they are evil. He narrows his eyes.
---
"Ruuuss."

"I don't know. I'm a little new to this."

"Right around here. I'll take your luggage." He takes the suitcase and leads her around the building to a waiting coach. It's connected to two brown horses.
Angie smiles at the horses before climbing into the coach.
--
"Whaaat."
--
"You'll be all right."

Angie beckons him into the coach. "Come ooon, Richard!"
The driver puts the luggage on top and takes his position behind the reins.
--
"What'd I say?"
--
"Hmm?"

Richard gets in and eyes the driver.
---
"You're practically stinking of jealousy. Don't be silly."

"I don't have a job anymore."

She hugs his arm.
Off they go!
--
"I am not." Grumpy face.

"Ah. Need one?"

He tries to keep his theories of kidnappings and robbings to himself.
---
"You are."
--
"Yes. We could barely afford that flat as it is." He rubs the back of his head.

The landscape is a little bit swampy. Lots of trees and moss and water.
--
"I am not jealous of your rich ex." Hmph.

"Hmmm."

And people able to kill Richard everywhere! ...He is sitting very, very still.
---
"Then why so grouchy? Hmmmm?"
---
"We'll lose the flat by next week. And I can't exactly take this thing to my mother-in-law's." He kicks at the cage.

"I'm not grouchy."

"You were a guard before?"

Richard grunts.
---
"You are tooooo."
--
"Yes. I'm very obedient. Do you know someone who needs a guard? And who wouldn't mind.. you know." He kicks at the cage again. "I don't ask for much. Honest."
