She's been very busy lately, I wouldn't want to bother her. But I can ask if I can't find them.

Last resort, right?

Right. I don't expect it will come to that. I just need to get through some of our boxes. With as many people as we've had come and go, it's been hard to keep track of who has what where.

Has there been a lot, lately?

Yeah. More than we've ever had, I should say. It's still sort of surprising, after all this time.

Sorry to hear that.

I don't know if it's something to be sorry for. It does make it difficult to get to know people when they don't stay for long, but I would rather they be someplace safe than taken by the Darkness. I'm sure we'll have the opportunity to see them again.

Well, yes. All that is true.

It is. But it does feel strange when it's so quiet too.

So hopefully the new ones won't get attacked.

Yes. They're very nice. I hope they can stay a while.

What are they like?

Hmm. Sage is a little odd, but he's very sweet. He likes to listen and hear the sounds that the world makes, and he's always wanting to help people. Marigold is very quiet and shy, and doesn't like to stand out much, but she's got a good heart and wants to make everyone happy.

They sound like good people.

They are, without a doubt.

I just hope they want to meet me.

I don't see why they wouldn't want to.

Well, there might be a reason!

A slim one at best. But I'll make sure to ask.

Thank you.
