It's noon, Valerius. We both should be asleep?" Acheron paused. "Where are you anyways?""I don't know," Valerius said. "I hear some godawful kind of music from outside, horns blaring, and I'm in a house with a mohawk cuckoo bird, a transvestite, and a knife-wielding lunatic.""Why are you at Tabitha's?" Acheron asked."Excuse me?""Relax," Acheron said with a yawn. "You're in good hands. Tabby won't hurt you.""She stabbed me!""Damn," Ash said. "I told her not to stab any more Hunters. I hate it when she does that.
In this conversation, Valerius finds himself in a bizarre situation where he's surrounded by strange characters, including a bizarre bird and a transvestite, while hearing loud music outside. He expresses confusion about his whereabouts and experiences a mix of fear and absurdity regarding his current companions.
Acheron, on the other hand, tries to reassure Valerius, even though he acknowledges that a previous altercation with Tabitha involved Valerius being stabbed. Acheron’s relaxed demeanor contrasts with Valerius's panic, highlighting the chaotic yet humorous undertone of their exchange.
