<Back at the expedition, Katharina and Book are talking. It's raining.>
Katharina: Are you SURE you don't want your hat back?
Jester Book: No, it's fine.
Katharina: Alright. So ... you're not from here, either?
Jester Book: Not really, no. I was born in a little town called "Arensdinkel". I'd be VERY surprised if you heard of it.
Katharina: I ... can't say I have, no.
Jester Book: It's just a few days away from Goldhaven, but not on any trade routes so there is virtually no excuse to be there if it isn't your birthplace.

Katharina: I see. So you left because it was too ... BORING for you there?
Jester Book: Mmh ... PARTIALLY, yes.
Katharina: And the other parts?
Jester Book: Let's say ... FAMILIY PROBLEMS.
Katharina: Oh.
Jester Book: I know, I know ... EVERYONE has those. I'm sure most people wouldn't -
Katharina: No I can ... RELATE, actually.

Jester Book: You can?
Katharina: Does that mean that you are ... living alone in Serpent's End?
Jester Book: Um. Yes, I guess it does. But I'm always interested in making new friends. Especially if they're as CHARMING and INTELLIGENT and EDUCATED as you, Miss Grauch.

Katharina: <gasps> MISTER BOOK! You don't just say all those things because I am the boss around here, do you? I can assure you, flattery will get you NOWHERE with me!
Jester Book: Nowhere?
Katharina: Well ... maybe "nowhere" is a bit HARSH ...
Jester Book: Call me INTRIGUED.
Katharina: And I thought your name was "Jester"?
Jester Book: I see your humor has managed to stay DRY, despite the weather.
