[Talia listened to Chloe's entry in silence, but not because she's judging .. she's simply piecing together things she's heard and seen. in the end, it really isn't any stranger than other things they've faced.]

I appreciate you telling us before we encounter him .. I'll watch for him and do whatever I can.

[Talia would respond to the thanks, but she's the queen of stalling and knows it when she hears it.]

Chloe ..

[Her voice is firm, but not threatening.]

I'm not going to hurt you, but if you are sick then you need to seek help.. there should be someone in the infirmary ..

[Talia is silent for several long seconds before a soft exhale can be heard.]

I understand, Chloe ..

[And she would do the same for Kevas without a moment of hesitation. Her voice is gentle and comforting when she speaks again.]

If you need anything, just tell me..

[It was an open offer for whatever the girl might need ..]

[ghostly_stutter]

[She's really touched by Talia's offer, kindness, and understanding. More than she realized she would be. It takes her a moment to calm her emotions enough to be able to talk again, but her thankful tone should be understood by all.]

Thank you, Talia. If you ever need anything, I will do everything in my power to help. I hope you realize that.

...

Just... j-just take care of Derek for me. I--I know it's a lot to ask...
