I wouldn't mind being you...um...what is that word for some sweet treat on your arm... [Really, she should just study all the notes Dirk wrote for her. In the meantime, she simply waves a hand dismissively.] I would have loved to have gone with you.

Do you think you would have stayed with them after everything that has happened?
