[staring at expanse of Central Park.]

What are your thoughts?

Not altogether as wild and free as I would wish, but it is beautiful. Every city should have such a place.

You alright, ma'am?

My thoughts exactly. It is such a wonderful oasis from the world outside.

Though the city does have its own beauty, in its own way.

[She starts, paying far too much attention to the greenery, and not a wit to her surroundings.]

I did not expect it to be so pretty.

Yeah, they keep it pretty nice.

Is it always this noisy? Surely they do eventually sleep and refresh themselves.

Are there many gardeners who tend to the plants? It seems very well kept from here.

From what I have gathered, yes.

Mortals call it the city that does not sleep. They refer to it as a living, breathing creature with a pulse.

I'm pretty sure the city employs some, yes.

You're new to New York?

I can understand how it might gain such a reputation. This shall be a grand adventure, then.

The plants do not seem lacking in care, but I wanted to be sure.

Yes, I have just arrived.

No, the park's pretty famous so they make sure to keep it decent.

You're finding your way around alright?

Oh, how lovely of them.

I'm sure I will. Thank you.

Yes, it is.

Not a problem. I don't like seeing women all lost.

Have you seen the lakes the mortals have forged themselves? And their beautiful fountain dedicated to their angels?

It will be an adventure to find my way around. Are you a berserkr?

I have seen naught but this little portion of the wild. It was the All-father's pleasure to set me down here.

[The question takes him completely by surprise.]

Not... exactly. Why?

Oh. I thought you might be since you asked after my safety.

I'm not sure such men exist anymore, ma'am.

There are no champions left? That cannot be so.

[He's starting to catch on a bit here.]

No, those still exist. ...you're a long way form home, aren't you, my lady?

I am, yes. [Her smile grows at his expression.]

It has been some time since my last visit. This was not here.

The city?
