She's got one 'ere if she wants. She's so brave, Clark. She sat over a map with me and described 'er own death in minute detail. And it's not that she weren't scared - 'ow scared 'ave you got to be, to ask a thing like that of a complete stranger, in a place that might not even be real? She just doesn't let being scared stop 'er or make 'er stupid.

[ He makes himself answer quickly. ]

She'd have graduated in a week if she was here.

[ It's in his voice, how much he loves her. And he can't pull it out no matter how much he doesn't want it to show. That's nothing about Iris. That's just... habit. Defensive action for blows from years ago. ]

If she wanted to, aye. But I reckon she won't need to. I thought I'd take 'er travelling for a bit. Give 'er a good look at the options available out there.

Thank you.

[ He doesn't know what else to say besides that. There's not much else to say. ]

[Iris isn't doing this for Clark, and they both know it; but she doesn't say that, because he loves Tess and he's allowed to be pleased. In the end she just smiles, broad and loving and contented.]

I'm just glad I got the chance, my darling. This is why I'll always love this boat - no matter what 'appens, no matter what goes down. She's still given me chances I could never 'ave got anywhere else.

I happen to have something of a soft spot for it myself. Despite certain qualms.
