"It was nice wasn't it?" Nil asks as she closes his front door behind her and follows him into his house.

"I guess so, I figured going out at that hour would not lead to weird drunk people annoying us but no one did anything so..." Cam shrugs as he sits down on his couch.

Nil plops down on the other side and kicks her legs up, "when people see others out late at night they typically leave them alone. They think we have a reason to be out so late so they won't make eye contact. Or that's what I've found at least," she leans back.

"So you do this all the time?"

"Not really all the time, I do it a lot."

"It's good exercise I guess."

"Yeah how do you think I stay so thin," she looks down at herself then over at him.

"So what do you do?"

"What do you mean? Like my job?"

"Yeah, I mean if you just get up and travel whenever you like you must have a job."

"Well I do a couple things, I'm a consultant for online security for a couple different agencies. Mainly I work as a translator though, pays high enough that I don't have to worry about working a nine to five and I don't have to worry about an actual place of work."

"How do you do that then if you don't have a place of work?"

"It's a call line, the two parties call each other and then call me, they speak to me and I translate for them. All I need is my phone."

"What languages do you translate?"

"Uh I usually get called for Korean to English but I also know Japanese. I've tried learning Mandarin a couple times but I can't get the gist of it, I might pick up French."

"So you're just really smart," Cam looks at her with an amazed look.

"Not really, I'm just decent with languages. Everyone has their strong points, just like how yours is comedy and creativity," Nil points out and Cam can't help but smile at that.

"You think I'm funny?"

"Sure. You have your moments. Everyone does. Yours are just really often," she shuts him down.

"Ouch," Cam frowns.

"I'm kidding, yeah I think you're funny. You have talent," she moves closer to him and pats his shoulder.

"Thanks I really try," he laughs.

"Well I should probably be heading back home, gotta catch a ferry or else I'll have to hijack a fishing boat." She stands and packs all her things into her backpack.

"I'll drive you to the Ferry," Cam stands and she thanks him as they head out.
