I was rather enjoying the quieter atmosphere around here but now so many people are back.

Too many people since I was jostled on the stairs and fell - I wouldn't like to think any of you would have caused such a nasty accident. I could have broken something

You're welcome.

[wandthief]

Are you less distressed, now that you are back from Port?

[stopthat_destro]

Yes, very much. Thank you.

[wandthief]

I am glad.

[stopthat_destro]

It's quite a relief to be back.

[wandthief]

I can imagine. Inferi can be dangerous.

[stopthat_destro]

Luckily, we returned with minimal casualties.

[wandthief]

Which is why I was never that worried about any of you.

[stopthat_destro]

Well, then I hope the others will forgive you.

[wandthief]

I honestly do not care if they don't.

There are only a few people that matter around here.

[stopthat_destro]

Everybody has a purpose. They all matter, in their way.

[wandthief]

I do not think that that is true. Most people would not be missed if they disappeared. Or they may be missed for a short time then replaced.

So very few have any true purpose.

[stopthat_destro]

But where would any society be without their worker ants?

[wandthief]

So true. But as I say, they are replacable.

[stopthat_destro]

What if you run out?

[wandthief]

They keep having children. You never run out.
