Thought I might have a look in on one of those ghost tours downtown this weekend if anyone would like to join. There was a bloke at the pub who said they offer group deals for five or more. Seems like a laugh.

[And he'd like to find out if there's even a modicum of truth to them. After the pixies and Ryu the dragon-boy, John's not going to entirely discount the notion the regular people here had noticed something amiss and called it ghosts.]

Yeah. Don't imagine you'd know it to look at her, though. I don't know how women do it, mate. Make-up, I suppose.

What's your brother do, then? Harry's into marketing research.

[It must be a nickname, because surely no one would name their daughter thusly.]

Estienne is heir to our family's estate, with all entailing responsibilities.

Have you always called your sister Harry?

[A brother with a feminine spelling to his name? Perhaps John's misremembering his French. It's been nearly two decades since he'd looked at a French textbook.]

Estate? Should I be calling you Lord Julien? [The ribbing's meant to be lighthearted. Bravo for him if he's going out to actually make a living.]

I've called her Harry as long as I can remember. Calling her Harriet's a good way to earn a black eye unless you're Mum, Dad, or Clara, her ex.
