[ Sniff. ] Glass might be useful. Or the rolling pin. Depends. [ A beat. ] Keep looking for things. I don't know where you are but I imagine it isn't close to downtown, which is where I am currently.
No, headed for the new area. [Again. He wonders if he manages to get there this time.] So maybe I'll find some more stuff to trade until we get the chance to meet.
[ He just brushes past the first bit, because like Flynn, he doesn't want to get into the weird future stuff. ]
I'm not. Solomons is. [ Which is probably a clue to how much Royce cares about Alfie, but he doesn't much care if people know at this point. ] Tea, too. Any sort of tea.
I see. [Flynn smiles. He's a fan of people caring for each other in this place, there's enough jadedness going around already.] I'll be sure to let you know if I find anything.
Oh, I'm sorry. I had some black tea, but it's almost empty now. It's really not much but I can hang on to the rest if you want?
Coffee works too. [ The tea is also for Alfie - do you see how lame he is for Alfie, Flynn, because it's really a problem ] I like coffee more than tea, actually, but these trades aren't for me.

No. Not especially. Is that the only useful thing you have?

[He scratches the back of his head.] I also own a crowbar but I'd... really like to hang on to that one.
[He figures it's the closest to a sword he will ever get to here.]

Keep an eye out for things you might not think have much use for here. Tape. Gauze. Plastic bags. Things you can use to tie other things together.
no subject
Anything in particular you guys are looking for right now?
no subject
Did you see the list Solomons put up the other day? [ He sounds tired, now. ] Things like that.
Or - this is going to sound ridiculous, but if you find anything that looks like it might be Jewish, I'll trade anything for it.
no subject
[Yeah, and that's as far as he goes here because that's not a subject he wants to get into right now.] I'll take another look.
[As for the other thing...]
Jewish? Yeah, sure, I'll keep my eyes open. Are you Jewish?
no subject

Not a coffee guy then?

no subject
[Yes, absolutely calling him out on it. Not that that's his intention; he thinks it's quite endearing, actually.]
no subject
Yes. I don't want or need anything, but he does.
no subject
But fine, letting him off the hook now.]
I'll let you know.
no subject
Yeah, all right. [ Royce pauses. ] I'll send more books later.
