It seemed that every second that passed, Amelia's day got stranger and stranger.  Suddenly she had the thought that this entire interaction with Jin was some sort of joke.  That this woman was teasing her somehow, trying to make a fool out of her.  Or perhaps she was mentally disturbed?

Why else would she have been circling Amelia like she was prey.

Amelia felt very proud of herself for keeping a straight face even when Jin said she was staying on a ship.  Like a sailor, or a pirate!

What an odd woman.

"Well, follow me then," she said hesitantly, motioning to Jin and starting down the street.  She had no idea where she would take this woman - a hotel would be the wisest choice, but if she really was ill in the head, was it safe for her to be in public?  Maybe she could keep this woman in her house until she could get ahold of her doctor brother.

But then, was it wise to bring this woman to her place of residence, with her aging father?

Where even was Arthur these days?

"You're staying on a ship, you said?" she asked meanwhile, uncomfortable with the silence.  "That must be very interesting!  You like it, I hope?"
