[ listen taka said she was a shady bitch from the beginning and one of his regrets is getting so distracted by murder that he didn't keep investigating that plot thread, but ah well ]
Oh I'm sure she will. [He doesn't sound too terribly worried though.] Even after being talked down she doesn't strike me as the kind of person to stop. But she won't have the same power she had before. All of us know her game now so it'll be harder.
I think I told you this before, about how something didn't feel right. [There's a light frown.] She reminded me of Pitch. Staying on the outside but meddling on the inside anyway. With everyone able to come back after this, there won't be a reason for her domain so it'll be easier to see what she's up to at the very least.
[So long as Jack has his way, Taka will never meet Pitch. He frowns a little harder because he doesn't want to have to fight people again, but at the same time he will absolutely take Patience out if he has to.]
Might talk to Piety and see if there's any way we can lay some groundrules to make sure she can't pull the tricks she tried the first time. The hierarchy has to be good for something.
He's got the experience that a lot of us don't. He was a leader in his own world unlike the rest of us, but when you combine that with his personality...it's hard to imagine, right? [There's a shrug.] It'll be my job to protect him. That's what I'm thinking.
For a long time, kids were the only ones to appreciate my work. [A shrug.] That might not be as true now, but it's something to get used to.
[He looks down at the street again.] ...what do you say we get a bite to eat and head back? I've got a feeling some people are going to be looking for you soon.
[ ... he says that but then he smiles just a little. it's a joke, he knows that there are a few people who would probably be wondering where he vanished to for so long. ]
I wonder. [There's a laugh and he ruffles Taka's hair briefly as he gets up.] Come on.
[He's up and he gestures for Taka to follow. Regardless of what happens after this? He feels good about everything. Back to reality they go...and we finally finish our last audience thread. ]

You're good with kids, even ones that don't act like it.
