"Oh. What time do you come from?"

[scourgeofpiracy.livejournal.com]

"The eighteenth century."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_driscoll/]

"The eighteenth century? Fascinating. I majored in history when I was in college."

[scourgeofpiracy.livejournal.com]

He gives her a slightly blank look.

"Majored?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_driscoll/]

"It was my academic concentration. Didn't do me a lot of good; I wound up working for the government shortly after I graduated."

[scourgeofpiracy.livejournal.com]

"Ah. What did - or do - you do?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_driscoll/]

"I'm the director of the Counterterrorist Unit in Los Angeles. Our agency is dedicated to the prevention of terrorist attacks on United States soil. We also track down the people responsible for planning those attacks."

[scourgeofpiracy.livejournal.com]

Back to the blank look.

"...I'm sorry, I don't understand a word you just said."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_driscoll/]

"Sorry. Perhaps if you explain a bit if what you do, I can help clarify it for you."

"Principally, I act as a peacekeeper in the Caribbean. I guard its towns from attack both by enemy powers, though we're not currently at war, and by pirates."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_driscoll/]

"Well, a terrorist isn't a pirate, but they are enemy powers. They attack the innocent as a way to push their own political agenda."

[scourgeofpiracy.livejournal.com]

"Ah, I see. And you work against them? A worthy profession."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_driscoll/]

"Yes. But time-consuming."

[scourgeofpiracy.livejournal.com]

"Most things worth doing are."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_driscoll/]

She nods, looking down, not hinting that there were some things in life that made jobs such as hers unworthy.

[scourgeofpiracy.livejournal.com]

"What year are you from, may I ask?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_driscoll/]

"2010. April 24th, to be exact."

[scourgeofpiracy.livejournal.com]

He blinks.

"...I see."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_driscoll/]

"Trust me, sir, it isn't nearly as exotic as people make it out to be. Although in comparison to your time period, it is quite exotic."

[scourgeofpiracy.livejournal.com]

"I would imagine so."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_driscoll/]

Erin nods. Out of the corner of her eye, she sees a scene (http://www.livejournal.com/community/milliways_bar/3853212.html) tthat makes her feel just a tad uncomfortable. "I'm sorry, sir, but I think I should head upstairs for a moment. It was nice talking to you."

[scourgeofpiracy.livejournal.com]

He nods to her and bows in farewell.

"Until next time, then."
