But I always figured it was better to be aware and prepared than one of these people, [He nods to the Chicagoans and tourists around the park,] and being more at risk, right? Knowledge is power.
[Harry smiles encouragingly, eating his own cupcake.] Bit of that, yeah. I need a day off. No calls at the office. No Warden work lined up. Nothing out of SI, no Fae to bargain with, no vampires to slay, no mob bosses to act all superior and insulting Just... [He gestures vaguely.] Just a nice day and some reading.
