...Miss Ginia?

[Never mind that she completely explained everything just now. He is still kind of shocked. Give him a second and he'll start talking locations, but...wow.]

[Oh! A voice! This is good news. Give her a moment to figure out how to reply via lucky journal prodding. Geeze, buttons and all these fiddly things.]

O-oh, hello! Um... [Give her another moment.] Oh... um, Archie?

[He can't actually think of any productive questions to ask her, so he hesitates a while before saying anything more.] I'm out walking at the moment. Can you shout as loud as you can?

Sure, give me a moment.

[Ginia carefully sets the book down in her lap, then cups her hands over her mouth, giving it all she's got.]

Hello? Can you hear me?

[After a few more shouts, Ginia wisely decides to save her throat and puts her fingers in her mouth and lets out a very loud and shrill whistle.]

[The shouting was dubious, but the whistle he hears, far and faint.]

I can hear it. I'm coming for you, all right? Don't go anywhere.

[Oh yay!]

Believe me, I am staying put. With my luck, I would tumble into the river.

And... thanks. For coming to get me. God, this is embarrassing.

If you think that's bad, I once returned from a kidnapping with a bell hung round my neck I couldn't take off. [He's jogging in that direction now.]

I'll take a bell hung around my neck over being blind.

Yes, and hear the peals of laughter from practically everyone around. I'm not a dog. [Not to mention what had to happen in order for it to come off.] It's temporary, at least.

Point.

Temporary, y-yes, so it is. All things are in this place. The very nature of things.

[she pauses, then a sigh is heard.]

I don't know how you guys do it. Talking, I mean.

If it makes you feel any better, you seem to be doing very well!

Th-that's kind of you to say. We'll see how I fare once the shock wears off, hah.

Well, you're a natural, as one might say. It took me at least a year to learn, or at least I imagine as much, and even then I surely wasn't speaking well.

I-I think the Malnosso are to thank for that. I'm a little dizzy from the drugs, b-but I otherwise feel fine. Can't say the same for my pride.

To have pride in this life is to be a rare person indeed. Can you whistle again, Ginia?

[She obliges with another loud, sharp whistle.]
