Ailis straightens a little, considering the source of this comment.<em> Aye, that berk /did/ call himself 'Perkins', didn't he .. </em>Vague suspicion is shaken off with a grunt as she straightens. "Someone /did/ suggest I try again - 'third time lucky', he said, right enough." Ailis' otherwise sweet tones are coloured over and through with a thick brogue - not unpleasant, but perhaps jarring, to those not used to it. "Ye'd be th' officer he spoke of? Helpful sod - he dinnae give me a name t' ask for."
