Back in the basement of the Lighthouse.
“Hey, so. About... earlier,” Avi tries to start a conversation with the Mayor. “What I’m trying to say is, I guess...” Back upstairs now. “I was just razzing you. Because I guess I miss the Old Mayor, and because you’re doing things differently, and... If I’d thought for a second he might... You know.”
Back outside. “I should've... read the room.” The Mayor sits on the steps, her jacket off. “This wasn’t Mayor business. I intruded on you visiting your old friend.”
Back in the boat. “I’m sorry,” the Mayor says. “I’m sorry,” Avi agrees.
“And I did nothing wrong for once!” Aquila chipperly adds.
