[gazingup]

Why is there an organ in front of my door? Is it a lung? It looks like a lung-- why is there a bloody lung in front of my door?

...

Dear God.

[ in a frantic voice ]

Excuse me- Excuse me! I have an important request to ask of all of you

Comments

[primrosella]

Yvaine's gone missing again?

[gazingup]

I don't know.

... However, I found something that might be hers. I hope to God it isn't, but what if- what if-

[primrosella]

And you think she might've lost it when she stepped out?

[gazingup]

It's not something one can lose without unfortunate consequences.

[primrosella]

Without unfortunate--

...I really don't want to inquire further, do I.

[gazingup]

... I think knowing Yvaine is safe is enough.

[primrosella]

I think so, too. Someone's found her, then?

[gazingup]

She was never really lost to begin with. But, yes. She's been located.

[primrosella]

Good, I'm glad to hear it.

And what about you? Are you all right?

[gazingup]

I'm fine. Obviously, I'm still stuck here, but least I'm alive- and that's a valuable thing around here. Being alive.

[primrosella]

It's unfortunate just how valuable of a thing it is in this City, really. And how easy it is to lose, at a moment's turn of fortune, with absolutely no warning whatsoever.
