"It's nice to know that my hard effort pays off," Osprey remarked with a chuckle, when Burke told that she had almost hurt his feelings. Not that she was trying to do that on purpose, she was teasing him - a bit cruelly, yes - but then again he had never been particularly gentle with her either.

In a sense - that, when the situation gets really bad the only thing left to do is to laugh. "So - what has brought you this far? As I recall - you don't live anywhere near," she sat down.
