"Mmm. Nothing wrong with liking the finer things in life. Any change you notice there is more likely me finally realizing it's OK to want things, more than anything involving Miriam's ill-gotten booty.

And we'll talk about that, Miriam. After all; I wouldn't have it if it wasn't for you. Maybe we can work something out, if you play your cards right," she grinned.

And if I am different, so what? Is it such a bad thing to want to move on from shit in the past? Do you like it better when I'm dwelling on it and acting melancholy all the time?"

"She's concerned Mel will show her head again, she's concerned the police won't like me walking around after what Mel did, she's concerned that she might get into trouble for letting that happen.

I don't think she's concerned I'm a flight risk, though I'm not the telepath around here."

"As much as you seem to think I have it out for you, Will, I do not. You are housing an entity that has killed a man and it is impossible for me to verify how secured it is, yet you're also a victim of it. I will release you under the condition that you wear a tracking device and be under the supervision of your other self for the time being. And that you refrain from comparing me to obsolete electronics."
