(Seraphina is pacing back and forth in the inn lobby. She is fiddling around with a small revolver in her hands. She is mumbling incoherently to herself.)
Seraphina: God, he better get back here soon. He swore to be back.
(There is a knock on the door. Seraphina quickly turns and aims the gun at the door. The door slowly opens and Jupiter comes in.)
Jupiter: Woah, no need to get hostile.
Seraphina: Sorry, I was just worried about you. I got a little-
Jupiter: A little jumpy?
Seraphina: Yeah...so, while Hudson's away, we're on lobby duty, I'm guessing?
Jupiter: Yep. If Hud's ever away, it's up to whoever's left here to watch the lobby.
Seraphina: I see.
Jupiter: (Smirking, gesturing towards the lobby desk) Shall we begin our shift then?
(Seraphina and Jupiter walk over to the desk and sit behind it.)
Are you okay?
Seraphina: I'm fine, really.
Jupiter: (Facetiously) Well, if you do happen to get worried or whatnot, just know that I'm going to protect you, but if I something happens and I can't protect, I know you're strong and that you'll find a way to stay alive.
Seraphina: You put too much faith in me, Jupiter.
Jupiter: The only person faith harms is the martyr. If I'm a martyr, so be it.
Seraphina: (Smiling, looking upwards) God, what I wouldn't give to have spirit like yours.
