"I've never gambled. Not even a scratch ticket. But $2000, that's a lot. I can't imagine that."
"I've never tried a cigarette. What's it like for you to smoke?"

"Well that's good, I was stupid... It's a litthe hard to describe. It feels both good and bad at the same time, I mean it makes you feel good but it does make you cough." I try to explain.

"Thanks... I've never heard of anyone making an alien bomb, but I will bring back a comparatively interesting story when I get back..." Deirdre replies, taking her bag of stuff, and getting off the bus.
"I'll see you soon, thanks Antero." She says, making her way to the terminal, holding her stomach along the way.

"I don't think I've been addicted to anything. I'm lucky I guess. I think Sakari is a little addicted to gambling, but I won't say anything."

Antero watches her leave, then takes the bus back to his apartment with Nea. He finishes off the last grilled cheese sandwhich and sits on the coach.
"I should invite someone over. It seems so quiet now that Deidre is gone." Antero says to Nea.
He is used to being alone, so it is odd that he would feel lonely all of a sudden. But he does feel like something is wrong or missing.

"Well then you're lucky. I don't think I'm addicted yet, but I am pushing it. I think I am addicted to caffeine, but who isn't?" I take anotehr sip of my drink, finishing it. I tap the glass on the bar and the bartender brings me another.

"I didn't think of that. I might be addicted to chocolate. But being addicted to something might not be totally bad. As long as you manage it. A person can get addicted to water I heard. My grandfather gave up a cigarette addiction for a peppermint candy addiction. So I guess some addictions are better than others."

"Well I guess. Both of my parents smoked so it's not much of a surprise that I do. But you know, I don't think that anything is inherantly bad for you, not even cigarettes. It's just when you use them in excess." I am not sure if this is self delusion or not, but I can at least be hopeful.

"Yeah I agree. I can't think of too much that is bad if done in moderation."
Cambridge swigs hir rootbeer and continues to watch Sakari play.
"Sakari's a fun guy to hang out with. I'm glad that you are here with us. It's nice."

"Just don't get addicted to gambling." Sakari says, resting his hands on Cambridge and Selja's shoulders.
"Drinks are on me by the way."

"Well I wanted to go with Vossya, but I'm glad I'm here too... I'm too hungry for these." I shove the peanuts aside.
"You don't have to do that Sakari... I have money. By the way, do you want to order a pizza?" I ask both of them.

"Oh hey Sakari. Things went well? I was a little worried there." Cambridge turns to Selja. "Nah, I'm not hungry right now, but maybe the three of us can go out somewhere else."

I get back to the hotel room to see that Salome is up. I sit down on the couch, with a folder under my arm.
"Hey, sorry I didn't leave a note or anything, I just had a few people I had to interview. I hope you weren't too bored..." I say, pulling the papers out of the folder, setting them beside me, but still paying attention to Salome.

"No, I was not up long. You work very hard. It isn't even 8am yet."
I cross my arms and walk to the far corner of the room. I feel safer off to myself in the corner there.
"It has been nice to have some time away. Should we get going again? I would like to eat some breakfast if that's okay."

"Thanks Selja but I insist!" Sakari replies in a cheery tone of voice, then hands Cambridge 20 euros.
"Thanks bucko. I'm not too hungry either, but I'm game for whatever you cats want to do."
