"Well, it certainly makes sense. The tigers, being predators, cannot afford to be dull and thus can recognize a potency superior for them. I am so glad to hear such proper changes are going to take place in my life. That is all it is about," Henry Hyde solemnly nodded.

"Of course you will be. With your interest at dispatching people, learning various recipes and the properties of knives, you are already well advanced above the norm," Henry happily chuckled. Getting serious again, as Leticia had finally located the culprit, allowing him the ample opportunity to vent his frustration.

"Young fellow, you have some explaining to do. Have you considered yourself superior to my friend here, and her dispensable. You better account really well for yourself. I am not the dueling type," Henry quietly demanded of the gaunt man, not wishing to make a scene for Leti's benefit, unless he had to, of course.?Something about him seemed vaguely familiar but the man occasionally introducing himself as Jekyll could not remember talking to him. Perhaps it was merely?the matter of seeing him in this establishment once or twice. "What have you done to my friend and what plans have you had for her later on. You better spill it, Mister," Henry's voice menacingly spit, less caring about who heard what than only moments before. ???

"Well your greatness...is ongoing I suppose. It began with the success of?your potion, and concluded with me, and now we carry on together," Rena said, keeping her explanation quiet enough that it only carried to the ears of Henry and Leti were she listening carefully.

"India and Africa you have visited many a time in the manner in which you speak, most recently with me," she said, giving his hand a reassuring squeeze.

"Somehow you can subdue a tiger. I must admit to being concerned and frightened at first butt in your company I never come to harm."
?
She'd trusted him so gone in spite of her fears. The thought made her smile.

"I'll be the best worker," Leti promised, ignoring the?comment about food for the doctor only said such things to rile her up.
?
"I'll study. If I can borrow some books I'll start tonight. I will take real good care of them, Dr. 'Enry. I promise. And I'll read em and make notes and bring em right back."
Leti's words pored out excitedly, her gaze Ernest. Her eagerness to move up in the world and to learn and to try if given a chance was more than evident and Rena smiled at? her.
?
"There 'e is,' Leti said, suddenly?distracted,?gesturing to the gaunt man, now seated at a corner table, gaze trained on the room...and seemingly on them.
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed.
I get along with the voices inside of my head.
