[There's a short silence.]

Oh, fuck me. Not this place again, all right? I'll take my chances back there, brak.

[...]

At least tell me, have many of the vampires gone and has anything much changed, huh? Or is it still all moord, naai, geld with you?

'Blood, sex, and money,' huh?

-Private to Sexby-
You still here, bru?

[Archer glanced at the pile and then nodded, moving over toward the chair but not bothering to pick the items up at present. Instead he returned his gaze to his acquaintance again, a bit surprised by the Dutch. He could understand the majority of it, even if it was not quite the same, but Archer was used to speaking in English more than Afrikaans even, so he wasn't expecting it. When he responded, it was in Afrikaans.] "Not at all. Thank you."

[Then, to the latter, he shook his head and gave a smile.] "Not unless you have some vodka, huh?"

[Sexby has... better memories of the Dutch than England, at any rate, so feels a little comfortable having someone he can at least follow, even if the language will never quite match up.]

"Sorry, I do not keep such things here. They are a little uncommon to me." [He paced a little around the burned patch in their carpet and asked, curiously,] "Know you how long you have been gone? It seems to be longer than I can remember, I must confess."

[Archer gave a disappointed nod, then shrugged to the latter. He reached into his pockets to double-check that his smokes were still there for a moment, but didn't actually take them out; it was a comfort thing.] "I've been home nearly eight months, huh? I don't know what that was here."

[Sexby nodded a little in understanding, and stuck his hand into the pocket of his breeches.] "That sounds quite accurate, but I have since been home and lost track of time on board. Did anything of note happen in your time away from us?"

[Archer stiffened just a hint at the question, glancing down and then looking back up to Sexby again. His mouth formed a line as he answered with a little less enthusiasm than a moment before.] "I got sent back to experience the rest of my life. Didn't realize it was the second time until I came back here, you know? It's a time I'd rather be forgetting."

[Sexby noticed him stiffen a little, and when he explained, he understood exactly why,] "That... I can understand why. I shall not mention it once more. I had not imagined such a thing possible."

[Although, if he could be brought back to life, being sent back to live your life again made perfect sense."

"Me neither." [Danny gave a few small nods, more dismissive than anything else. Then the inmate collected the pile Sexby had laid out for him, planning on only wearing the garments mainly around his room; he had a reputation to protect, after all. The smuggler gave another nod, more final, and looked over to Sexby again.] "I'll see you around, huh? I still need to get settled in again."
