"May I ask, sir, where are you from?"
"All ovah," I say. "But once, Egypt. Don't know that I'll get back." Not in this life, an' in my next I'll be someone different. Sad thought, sometimes, though it ain't as if this body's seen Egypt neithah. Just dreams of it.
We sit down, an' she pets my wrist some, then blushes an' takes her hand away. Figuah it must just be her trainin' taking ovah when she's distracted, since I can't see her being interested in me.
"Ain't no thing, sweet," I say to her thanks. "You rest heah some, okay? I should get back," I add, cos I still ain't quite comfortable in town. "But I'd be glad to see you at the carnival, you evah make it out that way." Always nice to make new friends.
