“I cannot believe people ate like this! No wonder they needed corsets—from the food to the sitting around, these ladies must be huge,” Teagan said, leaning back in her chair.

“Well Teag, some of them do not eat like this may be their last meal! We will have to work on ladylike portion sizes,” Ovidia stated, looking down at the remains of the dessert course on her plate.

“I had to try some of everything, and a lot of others. Some of that was really good. My compliments to our chef,” Teagan said, rubbing her stomach, which was straining painfully against the corset of her dress.

Sitting back in the chair and taking her wine glass, Teagan looked at her two companions. “Okay, what is the plan for finding the Ripper?”

“Well first we need know to where, and approximately when, each of his victims were struck. Tomorrow is the date of the first Ripper murder, or the first one attributed to him anyway, so we will go to Whitechapel and see if we can track him down, then we can use the human ripper as bait for the one we are really after” Bran said confidently, lifting his glass of brandy in Teagan's direction.

“Maybe we will be lucky and it will be a one and done. Maybe we will save some of the women's lives.”

“Is that wise? Won't we be changing history that way?”

“Saving the lives of a few harlots in Whitechapel is not going to have some major effect on history, I am sure,” Bran reported.

“How can you know that? Many great people came from humble beginnings.”

“Be that as it may, this killer needs to be stopped, and if the new future is not to your liking, we can always come back and stand by while he murders a few innocent women to fix it,” Bran snarled in her direction.

“Children, children, no fighting at the dinner table,” Ovidia cut in, attempting to referee.

“Ladies, it has been a trying day, so I think I will call it a night. I will see you at breakfast,” Bran replied, his voice stilted as he got up from the dining table and strode out of the room.

“Was it something I said,” Teagan asked Ovidia.

Ovidia looked at Teagan, taking a sip of her wine and setting it down with a sigh. “Teagan, I know this is all new and exciting for you, but Bran and I, we have seen many missions, and not all of them pleasant. There were times we had to let things happen, terrible things, for the sake of the timeline. You learn to deal with it, each of us in our own way. There are times, though, that the demons of the past rise to the surface when you least expect it. Cut him some slack and give it time. He will be back to normal by morning. Let's go up and get some rest. We have no idea what the coming days will bring and we should rest now while we know we can.
