7-9: There are still others around, or watching, but you're able to get to the two cosplayers.

"Neko-Sana" & "Saint Cassandra" greet you as you walk over to them. They can see the reasonable fatigue in your eyes and face, just as you can see the same kind of fatigue from the two women. Still, you're positive that they would trade this kind of day for anything else, especially when they're two of the world's finest cosplayers today.

"Long day & night, isn't it, Alex?" Neko asks you.

"Yes, a really long day." You tell her. "With all the photos I took today, I wouldn't be surprised if the total raw count hits 1,000."

"No doubt, a very long task of finding the right ones to publish is ahead of you." Cassandra tells you, giggling. "I take it you're just about ready to return to the hotel?"

"Yeah, very close." You reply to Cassandra. "I'm just about out of juice for my camera, and it will take the rest of the night just to have enough for the final day of the convention."

"At least both of us have something we can put on pretty quickly for the short Sunday convention." Neko tells you. "So are you planning to return home on Monday? Or after the convention is over?"

"Monday morning." You tell Neko. "Trying to leave the downtown area on a Sunday Night is brutal. Starting on Tuesday, I'll be going through all of the photos I've taken from the convention. It'll be a long week, for sure."

"Definitely a long week for you," Cassandra tells you, "while Neko & I have the long international flights back to our respective homes. It's starting to get cold in Paris."

"And I have a couple of weeks worth of rest back in Kowloon," Neko tells you, "before I go do a photo session in Singapore, then go to Melbourne for the next comic con."

"I hear some of the American cosplayers will be in Melbourne for the comic con later in the month." You tell Neko.

"Oohh," Neko tells you, "that sounds wonderful."

"My final comic con of the year," Cassandra tells you, "will be in Barcelona, in December."

"Melbourne is my last one of the year." Neko tells you. "Then I'm taking a long rest until the local one in March."

"I've got a few more photo sessions myself for the rest of the year." You tell the ladies. "I've got a couple of fitness models coming to the studio in a couple of weeks. Then next month, I'm doing some holiday cosplay photo shoots with the locally-based cosplayers. After that, I'm be spending a day taking photos of children sitting on Santa's lap."

"Well, you're a lucky one." Cassandra tells you. "I can't wait to take my boyfriend and crew to spend the holidays in the Cayman Islands."

"You're even luckier than I am." You tell Cassandra.

You finish talking with the two cosplayers, then give "Saint Cassandra" a courteous hug, before she & her boyfriend, who later comes up to her, head out for the night. That leaves you with "Neko-Sana", and as you turn to look at her, she is giving you that look again. Her eyes soften, and she takes another sip of her water.

"Care to walk with me to the hotel, Alex?" She asks you, softly.

"Why, of course, Neko." You tell her. "It'll be much safer that way."
