I ration it very carefully and use it to bribe officials into leaving Mitchell alone.

[action]

[nebbish]

Annie!

[He exclaims that in faux-horror.]

I'm shocked! That's devious.

[Although - ]

Though why on earth are officials bothering him?

[action]

[invisibilitea]

[She rolls her eyes]

Because he's Mitchell.

[action]

[nebbish]

Right, but - he's not been in trouble, has he?

[action]

[invisibilitea]

As far as I know he's only drawn attention for being moody and cranky.

[She shakes her head.]

People around here have too much time on their hands.

[action]

[nebbish]

We're in bloody space. Who wouldn't be moody or cranky?

But they don't know he's a vampire, right?

[action]

[invisibilitea]

No, they don't. And they don't know I'm ghost, either.

Well, American George does.

[action]

[nebbish]

[George frowns.]

You know, he just came up to me and said, "You're a werewolf." He just said that to me. Who does that?

[action]

[invisibilitea]

American George.

[Man she's really on this.]

[action]

[nebbish]

Right! Because British George, George Prime, he'd never do something like that, would he. Even if somehow he knew when someone was a werewolf, he'd keep that under his hat.

[action]

[invisibilitea]

You would rightly let them-

Oh.

Have you met Tom?

[action]

[nebbish]

Er - no. Who's that?

[action]

[invisibilitea]

[Pause.]

He's a werewolf.

[action]

[nebbish]

Oh, for God's -

[His voice rises just a little bit.]

How bloody many of us are there? It's starting to seem like a bloody werewolf zoo.

: [action]

[invisibilitea]

He says he knows me!

I guess you're rather popular in space.

[action]

[nebbish]

Knows you? How?

[action]

[invisibilitea]

I don't know.

[action]

[nebbish]

He didn't say?

[action]

[invisibilitea]

Well he got very agitated!

[And Annie stopped listening, to be honest]

[action]

[nebbish]

As in...threatening agitated, or mental agitated?

[action]

[invisibilitea]

Well, actually, I think I hurt his feelings. You know I wouldn't do that sort of thing on purpose!

[Pause]

Well, unless he was a nob, but he wasn't, was he?

[action]

[nebbish]

Well, he might have been. It's...

[...not as if you're the best judge of nobs is a sentence he starts and then swears not to finish.]

Hard to tell. At - at first. So probably he was, really. There are lots of werewolves who are nobs, aren't there.

[action]

[invisibilitea]

Sorry, are we talking about American George again?

[action]

[nebbish]

There's him, sure. And Tully was sort of the king of 'em, wasn't he.

[action]

[invisibilitea]

[She doesn't comment about Tully. This is about Tom. Tom, who is, in essence, a nice guy. Or at least he seems that way, from the one conversation they had]

Well, Tom seems all right.
