"Probably a good investment." Not that everything can be planned for, he thinks, given what did happen. If it hadn't been for the fire, would he have even known about the Hales in any way, he wonders. He can't remember if there had been any Hales that were public pillars of the community at all.

"Well, yeah." That's just common knowledge. Trains go along their tracks, and different lines will have them running in opposite directions. So less of a favor, and more of an engineering success. But it works, so maybe he should just accept it, and stop nitpicking. "I like them because they're faster than having to walk everywhere." Unless you take the wrong train.

Which is why they're staring at the map that looked a lot like a plate of spaghetti thrown at the wall. Stiles checks what the name of the station they're currently at, squints at the writing, and places his finger over the name on the map. "We need to get here-" he indicates the Wagonwheel with his other hand. "That's like four different possible trains." He says, after seeing what's available at this station, and stops at the Wagonwheel without going all over the map. There are still deviations, but at least they won't be getting a free 'tour' of the city on the way.
