The group arrives in Ravenspire, much to the relief of some locals.
Arthas, Rou and Eight arrive at the town of Ravenspire, where they come across a Jerboamin named Florence. Florence is preparing for a big celebration back at her family’s shop, and is nearly hidden by the number of packages she carries.
After a brief discussion, the group offers to help Florence carry some of the packages back to her family’s shop. When they arrive, they discover a worrisome event has cast a shadow on this joyous day.

Dax: Florence. Today is the day. Your family has been excitedly awaiting this day for a few weeks, and the final preparations are in full swing. It’s midday at this point, the sun is shining brightly, and there’s a cool breeze filtering through the town. Would you please describe yourself and tell us what you’re doing on this fine day?
Shadow: Being a small being of only two feet tall from head to toe, a face a cross between a squirrel and mouse-like features, dressed in a blue suede vest and a blue suede cap. I am dragging a fairly large box down the road to the other pile of boxes that I have gathered in front of the storefront. I’m tugging and I’m pushing and I’m wiping my brow with my padded leather gloves and having to take many rests in the sun of this beautiful day.
Dax: And you said you’re dragging your packages in front of this, this building. What building are you standing in front of? And what is the name of this town in which you dwell?
Shadow: I am standing in front of the general tavern, which is fondly named “Fish n’ Hooks”, in this town of Ravenspire.
Dax: Now Florence, it’s been a pretty typical day for you so far. Other than, you know, all the extra shopping that you’ve had to do and all the other tasks you’ve had to complete in order to prepare for the celebration later today. However, you do notice three odd looking individuals heading down the road toward you. Individuals that you have never seen in your town before. Two of which are… they don’t even appear human.
Eight, Rou, and Arthas. You have entered the town of Ravenspire only a few moments before. You’ve been meandering through the town on your journey, and Eight and Arthas. You spy an individual that, at least their species, looks oddly familiar to you. A little larger than the last time you came across a Jerboamin. But there they stand, in a blue suede vest and matching cap. What are the three of you discussing as you’re walking through the town? Passing by strangers, with the sun shining down.
Kappa (as Rou): Eight, do you think it will be possible to add some seasoning to the grey paste that you provide? It’s very much a life-saver, I will say that. But I really wish for the experience to be more enjoyable.
Wren (as Eight): Well Friend Rou, I would be happy to provide seasoning for the paste. Though, I believe my stocks are a little low at this point. Perhaps there is a vendor in this village that might provide something that can make my paste more palatable.
Kappa (as Rou): Yes, I saw the sign earlier, started with an R, but I wasn’t really paying attention. I was thinking of, it’d be really great to get some coriander.
Wren (as Eight): Yes, I do believe I saw the same sign. What was it? Rustic Roots, I believe it was? And then underneath it said “a selection of fine ground roots and vegetables”.
Kappa (as Rou): Think so. You might be right there. Maybe we should ask someone. Oh! There’s just a box.
Wren (as Eight): It appears to be a stack of boxes.
Kappa (as Rou): Is, is it moving? It’s moving. What’s going on?
Wren: I will squint with my little fibrous eyebrows going over the lenses and I’ll just kind of lean in slightly.
Wren (as Eight): The box appears to be dragging itself across the ground? Interesting.
Wren: I will reach out and grab, is there like a string trying the package together? Like a brown paper, is it like the, the typical brown paper parcel with packing twine on top? [laughs]
Kappa: Packing twine?
Wren: I’ll, I’ll just grab the knotted bow on top and start lifting it.
Wren (as Eight): Most peculiar.
Wren: And I will just stare at the package intently to see what’s causing it to move.
Shadow: I’ll be lifted off of the ground, I am going to scramble on top of the package.
Shadow (as Florence): [high-pitched, femme, slightly nasally voice] Hey! What’s the big idea?
Wren (as Eight): Oh!
Shadow (as Florence): Oh.
Kappa (as Rou): Oh my.
Wren: Startled for a moment, I will shift back, still holding the package out.
Wren (as Eight): My apologies. You see, we did not realize that you were pushing this package across the floor. My friends and I.. we were concerned that this was moving on its own. It would not be the strangest thing we’ve ever experienced.
Shadow (as Florence): Yeah, I, I wish these packages moved on their own.
Shadow: I am going to jump from the package that is currently being held in the air, onto the other stack of packages next to the frame. I’m going to scamper up the door frame and onto the sign to get closer to Arthas’s height. I’m going to balance on the sign and I’m going to whip off my cap and flourish and take a deep bow and say,
Shadow (as Florence): Hello! I am Florence.
Wren (as Eight): Oh! Hello, my name is Eight. And these are my best friends, Rou,
Wren: I gesture to Rou standing beside me.
Kappa (as Rou): Hello.
Wren (as Eight): And Simply Arthas.
Wren: And I make a broad gesture up to the 11-foot tall man behind us.
Neil: I wave.
Wren: Looking up,
Wren (as Eight): Florence. You are very nimble. I must ask. You appear to be one of the Jerboa clan, correct?
Shadow (as Florence): That would be correct.
Wren (as Eight): Is your family here with you? Or are you visiting? Or, pardon me if this seems rude, the last set of Jerboa folk that my companion and I saw were in the middle of the desert. And I wasn’t certain that more of their kind existed beyond the perimeters of the desert.
Shadow (as Florence): Ah, yes! Well, my my my brood is here. We are the city Jerboamin. I guess that’s what you can call us. I haven’t met any other city Jerboamin besides my brood, but you know, my my parents did… started in the desert. They do have tails of the desert, but then they jumped onto the carriage of some travelers and then forgot to get off of it and then they ended up in a city and then here we are!
Kappa (as Rou): How delightful!
Wren (as Eight): Friend Rou, did you notice at all that Arthas and I were not terribly taken aback by meeting small squirrel folk that talked and had their own society?
Kappa (as Rou): So, you’re telling me that there’s more than just the, the group of squirrel people, the Sciurens? Eulela just gets more and more interesting by the day. Pardon me, Florence. I am not from around here and I am just learning. Hello. Nice to meet you. Is there a place where we can purchase general foodstuffs, seasonings, here in Rooks… Rooksburg?
Wren (as Eight): Rooks Reach.
Kappa (as Rou): Rooks, Rooks Reach.
Shadow (as Florence): Are we in Rooks Reach? I thought we were in Ravenspire. Huh, I guess you learn something new every day! [trying not to laugh]
Kappa (as Rou): [stumbles over his words] Ravenspire! Sorry. Apparently, apparently I can’t read. [trying not to laugh]
Neil (as Arthas): That’s okay, neither can I.
Kappa: Distracted by the thought of salt.
Wren (as Eight): Arthas, I thought you could read.
Neil (as Arthas): The writings in the caves are much more legible than many of the bookstuffs that I’ve been presented with.
Wren (as Eight): I see. So that statement was not simply you agreeing with Friend Rou to make him feel better about the current circumstances of this social interaction.
Kappa (as Rou): I feel great.
Neil (as Arthas): Good. It’s working.
Wren (as Eight): Ah. I see.
Wren: I’ll give a subtle nod but I will say,
Wren (as Eight): Wink.
Neil (as Arthas): Wink.
Kappa: I’m just a little puzzled about the interaction but I let it go, turning my attention back towards Florence.
Kappa (as Rou): Well, it’s a good day. Do, do you need help with these packages?
Shadow (as Florence): Oh, oh golly. Would, would you help?
Kappa (as Rou): Sure!
Shadow (as Florence): Oh, oh.
Kappa (as Rou): They’re, they’re quite manageable. Quite small.
Shadow (as Florence): I guess, when you are so many feets tall, they would be small.
Wren (as Eight): This one is quite light as well.
Wren: And I’m still holding the package out.
Wren (as Eight): Are they all weighted similarly?
Shadow (as Florence): I think you best figure that one out for yourself, because of the difference in our feets, I don’t think that the weights really transfer.
Kappa: I will go ahead and pick up at least one, if it’s light, I’ll pick up another one. How many packages total?
Shadow: I have ten packages.
Kappa: Holy butts. Okay.
Shadow: But it’s taken me all day. I woke up at 6am, and here we are.
Kappa: Oh, god [laughs] I’ll take as many as I can carry.
Shadow: Oh they’re, they’re fairly manageable. I mean, they’re probably all right around shoebox size. Some of them are heavier than others.
Wren: I would only have maybe two packages. Like, stacked on top of one another that I can hold out in my one hand. Because my other hand is still leading Bessie with the leather strap in my hand. And for that matter, if we could affix a package or two to Bessie, that would probably be something that I would undertake as well, as we’re kind of shuffling all these packages between us.
Neil: And I’ll pick up whatever’s left I suppose.
Wren (as Eight): Florence, were you delivering these packages to someplace in particular? Or were you bringing them to a shop? Or are these all items that you have purchased for yourself as gifts?
Shadow (as Florence): Yes.
Wren (as Eight): Yes.
Shadow (as Florence): Yes, yes to all of your questions.
Wren (as Eight): So you purchased these as gifts for yourself, you are delivering them to somewhere, and you are taking them to a shop?
Kappa (as Rou): And gift them and the other thing?
Shadow (as Florence): Correct. Well I, well I, um, I guess the addendum that I would make to that aforesaid statement is that they’re not necessarily gifts for myself. But they are gifts. Well, some of them are gifts. Some of them are supplies. It’s a bit of, it’s a, you know, it’s a healthy mix.
Kappa (as Rou): Well that’s convenient! And not at all confusing.
[Shadow stammers as Florence]
Shadow: I’m going to turn around and I’m gonna look up at Rou.
Shadow (as Florence): You, you were looking for foodstuffs?
Kappa (as Rou): Well, sure. Yes! At the moment, just given the topic of conversation we were having before we met you. It would have been a good, it would have been fortunate to find a place to find, you know, a place that sells onion powder, cumin, tarragon, oregano…
Shadow (as Florence): Are you looking for the foodstuffs to be already cooked?
Kappa (as Rou): [stammers] Yes. And also, for future cooking.
Shadow (as Florence): Oh. Well, if you’re looking for cooked foodstuffs, right here is eh,
Shadow: And I gesture to the large building next to me, as I scamper down the doorframe.
Shadow (as Florence): This is Fish N’ Hooks, our local tavern.
Kappa (as Rou): Hmmm. Do they have fish?
Shadow (as Florence): Yes.
Kappa (as Rou): Okay. Cool.
Shadow (as Florence): And then, uh, a little bit further down the way is, is a shop. They have some advertisements out. Maybe you’ve seen them? This one would be the Rustic Root.
Kappa (as Rou): Oh oh oh okay. So the Rustic Root. Great. Cool. This, this is… signs all over. Okay. Thank you so much. How, how far are we taking these packages?
Shadow (as Florence): Oh, ah, it’s about halfway through town.
Kappa (as Rou): Perfect. I mean, I don’t think we were doing anything in particular. Right, Arthas?
Neil (as Arthas): I’m all for it.
Shadow (as Florence): Okay. Ah, it’s so nice of you to come along out of nowhere and just assist.
Wren (as Eight): We’re already holding the packages. We might as well help deliver them.
Shadow (as Florence): You must be very, very good peoples.
Kappa (as Rou): I like to think so.
Neil (as Arthas): No, I’m Arthas.
Wren (as Eight): Arguably, I am not a person.
Shadow (as Florence): Oh, so it’s a one peoples, an Arthas, and and, what do you prefer?
Wren (as Eight): We are technically travelers and adventurers!
Shadow (as Florence): Ooohhh. Adventurers? I haven’t met many adventurers.
Wren (as Eight): Well today is your lucky day, Friend Florence. You have met three and a mechanical donkey that is their stalwart companion.
Kappa (as Rou): Yeah.
Shadow: I’m going to whip my hat off again dramatically and take a deep bow again.
Shadow (as Florence): It’s an honor and a pleasure and you are the bestest.
Dax: So Florence, as you guide the three adventurers through your town of Ravenspire, do you say anything to these individuals? Do you stop and show them anything in particular?
Shadow: Yes. The whole way I am gesturing to all of the stores and even some of the houses and you know, giving a brief rundown.
Shadow (as Florence): You know, this, this is, this is the Halbergs place. They’re very nice, their little boy Johnny is a bit rambunctious but we’re all hoping he grows out of it. Over here is the Rustic Root, which is the spices place that you were inquiring about. Over there is Quills n’ Stuff, you know, for your essential quills and stuff.
Wren (as Eight): You do make the nomenclature of your establishments quite easy to understand.
Kappa (as Rou): [trying not to laugh, failing] It’s very handy.
Shadow (as Florence): Well, yeah. Well you know, our town’s more of a passer-by-er town. You know, we don’t, we don’t get a lot of people that come and stay. So we try to, uh, accommodate all of the needs of travelers and now adventurers like yourselves who come here.
Kappa (as Rou): How fortunate it is that we have run into you, Florence.
Shadow (as Florence): Simplicity. Yep, that’s the key to marketing, or so I am told.
Kappa (as Rou): Quite the entrepreneur.
Shadow (as Florence): Yeah, Marketing is one of the families that resides here. They’re pretty good, they’re pretty creative. They, they invent some stuff.
Wren (as Eight): Did you say they invent items?
Shadow (as Florence): The Marketing family, yeah.
Kappa: [laughing] The Marketing family.
Shadow (as Florence): Yeah! They invented all of the names of the shops and you know, sometimes they invent some, um, doohickies, you know, that assist in everyday activities. I could show you some when we get to my store.
Wren (as Eight): Oh, you own a store. Delightful! Okay.
Shadow (as Florence): Yes.
Wren (as Eight): So, we’re bringing packages for your store?
Shadow (as Florence): Yeah, well, it’s kind of a family store. It’s, you know, it’s run by the brood.
Wren (as Eight): Oh. This will be exciting.
Wren: I turn to Rou.
Wren (as Eight): Friend Rou, we’re about to witness a Jerboa-Brood run establishment. This is incredibly exciting. An opportunity to see how these specific types of creatures work together as a family unit!
Kappa (as Rou): Oh, oh! I got… thank you.
Kappa: I will pull out my notebook, ready.
Wren: I kind of lean in.
Wren (as Eight): I’m not sure if they will take kindly to feeling like they are being observed. Perhaps you should take mental notes rather than writing while we are in their company.
Kappa (as Rou): Right, okay. Good point.
Kappa: I’ll make sure that Florence did not see me pull out the notebook and very slyly put it away.
Dax: You know what? Why don’t you, just because, give me a Skullduggery check. Give it to me, let’s see, I want you to give that to me at Easy difficulty.
Kappa: Oh I’m good at these. [dice rolls] One Success and one Advantage.
Dax: Mkay. Florence is very busy talking and pointing at all the different locations on her tour for you of Ravenspire that you are able to successfully get that notebook back into one of your pockets.
Kappa: Cool.
Dax: Now, Florence. As you approach your family’s store, why don’t you describe what the building looks like, and is there any activity going on outside of it? Or you know, paint the picture for us.
Shadow: So, as we approach, it’s a dark building that has very big, multi-paneled windows in the front. There is a, a fairly large sign. It’s probably about three by three, that has elaborate writing on it, that’s Tails and Tufts. And it’s about three stories, so it’s really large. A lot of windows. The thing that sticks out to anyone who has not seen our establishment is that the, what would be gutters is, acts more like scaffolding up the whole side of the building. As we approach, I climb up to one of the front multi-paneled windows and I push open a panel because it’s a door. I gesture to the larger door.
Shadow (as Florence): Please head on in and I’ll see you on the other side. This is our preferred entrance. And you can just place the packages right where you see fit inside. Just watch your step.
Wren: I do have one question about the name of the establishment. Now when you say tails, is it t-a-l-e-s or t-a-i-l-s?
Shadow: T-a-i-l-s.
Wren: Okay, okay. And I’m just looking up at the sign.
Wren (as Eight): Oh, the wording on that is so cute. Perhaps it…hm.
Wren: I look at Rou.
Wren (as Eight): Do you believe this was intentional?
Kappa (as Rou): Oh how accommodating.
Kappa: Okay, cool. I hold the door open for Eight and Arthas.
Neil: I step in, pretty glad that the building’s accommodatingly large.
Neil (as Arthas): I believe they’re called a “poon”. Like a play on words, you know. Poon.
Kappa (as Rou): Oh, ohhhh. Yes. I never, I never knew it was called a poon in this area.
Wren (as Eight): It must be some sort of regional dialect from where Simply Arthas hails. Mother called them puns.
Kappa (as Rou): That’s what I know them as.
Neil (as Arthas): I don’t know. That sounds… that sounds wrong.
Kappa (as Rou): Do you think Florence sells tails here, like actual tails?
Wren (as Eight): I certainly hope not.
Kappa (as Rou): Given the naming convention of all the other stores, it makes me believe that Tails and Tufts of anything that might have tails and tufts would be sold here.
Wren: I’m holding the package aloft still as Rou is saying this.
[Neil laughs]
Kappa: Seeing that, I’m just shaking my package ever so slightly too.
Kappa (as Rou): Nope, I don’t think so.
Wren: I’m taking mental stock of how heavy it is.
Wren (as Eight): If this is full of tails and tufts of hair, I suppose it would weigh about this much. Oh dear. Well, I suppose we might find out if we go inside.
Kappa (as Rou): What have we gotten ourselves into? Alright, proceed with caution.
Wren (as Eight): Agreed.
Wren: I will tie Bessie out.
Dax: Yeah, I was just going to say, there is a little hitching post outside of most of the buildings you noticed as, as you were walking the streets.
Wren: And I’ll just grab the other packages that were on Bessie’s side. So I’ve got like two under each arm as I clomp inside.
Dax: What do the three travelers see upon entering Tails and Tufts?
Shadow: Well, first impression is that it’s a tailor shop where the clothes and fine garments are made. There are many fine pieces on display. There are hats on display behind the counter. The next thing that would be noticed is the quantity of Jerboamin that are scurrying around on the walls or hanging from threads or scampering across garments as they are sewing, attaching and detailing all of the tailored items in the store.
There’s a lot of pulleys, a pulley system to act as elevators to transport Jerboamin from, you know, the bottom of the garment to the top of the garment. Or so that they can get the hats off the wall for customers. Then there would be a series of grooves in the wall that the Jerboamin are using like staircases to get from one point to the other. And Florence is going to scamper across the floor and they’ll see me on the counter where the cash register is.
Kappa (as Rou): Ohhhh! Like tail - like tailors!
Neil (as Arthas): Ohhhh.
Kappa (as Rou): Oh, oh I feel foolish.
Wren (as Eight): I do suppose there is the possibility that there could still be fur inside of these packages.
Kappa (as Rou): Well, Florence did say put them anywhere we saw fit, so…
Kappa: I’m going to look for, you know, an area that would be ready to receive and start piling it there.
Dax: As you do so, you see a little head pop up over the counter.
Dax (as a Jerboamin): [high-pitched, slightly nasally voice] Well, hello!
Kappa (as Rou): Oh!
Dax (as a Jerboamin): Customers?
Kappa (as Rou): Yes, hello. You gave me quite the start there. Uh, we’re, we’re here to help our new friend, Florence. We had decided to help with all these packages, with goods.
Dax: The Jerboa scampers up over the counter and looks down.
Dax (as the counter Jerboamin): Oh hi Florence.
Shadow (as Florence): Oh, hey there Barbara. How’s it going?
Dax (as Barbara): Good, good. Looks like you got the presents and the party supplies. Excellent, excellent.
Dax: And the Jerboa reaches fingers up to her mouth and does a quick little shrill whistle. A whole bunch of Jerboa come out from like the back area of the building, and come and scramble up what you would assume is some scaffolding. Because the next thing you see is they’re all on top of the counter and they’re grabbing various packages and scurrying off towards the back.
Dax (as Barbara): Can I interest you in any clothing while you’re all here? Let’s see, you seem to be a, is that a 50 waist or is your armor just a little bit bigger than it probably should be?
Kappa (as Rou): Oh, uh, that is on purpose. I mean, yes, it’s, it is on purpose. Perhaps we..
Kappa: Looking over at Arthas and Eight.
Kappa (as Rou): Perhaps we deserve a bit of a refresh. You know?
Wren: I quirk a brow at that.
Wren (as Eight): A refresh?
Kappa (as Rou): Yeah, yeah! You know, like a, you know, refreshing your, your appearance, your look?
Wren (as Eight): Like putting a fresh coat of paint on the exterior of a home?
Kappa (as Rou): Precisely. Some, some folks do it more often than others.
Wren (as Eight): What is the benefit of such a thing? It does not change who you are on the inside. And, it does not really seem to have much benefit for your exterior either.
Kappa (as Rou): [stammers] The way I’ve always seen it is, if you don’t feel comfortable wearing the stuff you’re wearing, might as well find something that you are comfortable wearing. Both literally and, you know, mentally speaking.
Wren: I kind of shrug.
Wren (as Eight): I can’t say that my current attire causes me any discomfort. If you require a refresh, then please while we are here, see to it that you feel more comfortable in what you are wearing.
Kappa (as Rou): I might just do that. Florence, Florence. Do you and the brood, what sort of services do you, do you provide? I have very, very specific, uh, specifications to my attire.
Shadow (as Florence): Oh, well uh, well being the only tailor shop here in the town, we pretty much do it all. You know, anything from your fancy gatherings to weddings to ceremonies to, well we don’t really do armor, but I guess we do do leather, leather work. Leather armor. Traveling cloaks, hats. Hats for horses, blankets, blankets for horses.
Kappa (as Rou): Perhaps Bessie, perhaps Bessie would love a hat?
Wren (as Eight): Oh. By the gods, Rou. I had the exact same thought when I heard hats for horses. I thought, ‘what is Bessie but a mechanical donkey. And what is a donkey but a smaller horse, that does not run?’ We could get Bessie a hat. And perhaps some other clothing that Bessie would be comfortable in. I do believe Bessie is in need of a refresh because Bessie does not wear anything other than a leather halter. Though, Bessie does not complain, which would lead me to believe that Bessie is comfortable wearing nothing. Is it appropriate for a donkey to be nude?
Kappa (as Rou): You know, I’ve never asked.
Shadow (as Florence): I was just going to say, I, I, it might be up to the donkey. I’ve, I have never asked a donkey, but we could?
Kappa (as Rou): Well I’m, I’m quite sold. I do think it would be worth, worth my while to do some shopping here. Maybe employ some services.
Shadow (as Florence): We also provide cleaning services, you know, if your, your clothes are worn. Not looking necessarily for new ones but we can definitely clean. Helps get all the dirt and grime out and we can also make things that fit to size. So, so yourself, Arthas, if there’s anything that you’re looking for, we’re, I’m sure we can accommodate.
Kappa: Rou slowly narrows his eyes as he lifts the collar of his shirt up to his nose and just,
Kappa (as Rou): [sniffs] Yes, we’ll need that too.
Dax: It is at this point that Florence, you hear the door, your little early access door up above, open up. You see one of your brood scampering in, they’re flying practically down the scaffolding. They run up to you and they look at you and they look at Barbara and they are, they are panting. This is one of your cousins, Aoife. Aoife goes,
Dax (as Aoife): [high-pitched, panting] Florence! I’m glad I ran into you! I have bad news.
Shadow (as Florence): Oh no! What’s, what’s happened?
Music shifts to a more ominous tune [31:55]
Dax (as Aoife): [still panting] Do you remember, me and Benny were gonna go get the fruit for, for the party tonight?
Shadow (as Florence): Yes. Bernard is, is very, is very fond of fruit. What, um, what, what happened? Did, what happened to both of you?
Dax (as Aoife): We got up to the tree, got up to the top rung, [deep breath]. And, we got the fruit, and we got down. While we were getting back into town, somebody took Benny!
Shadow (as Florence): [stammers] Like, took? Like, like stole?
Dax (as Aoife): Like, like scooped him up and ran off with him!
Shadow (as Florence): That is preposterous! How could they!
Shadow: And I, and I take out my sewing shears that are on my leather belt and I brandish them like a sword.
Shadow (as Florence): That’s it! We have to go!
Wren: I turn to Rou and Arthas.
Wren (as Eight): While we were traveling in the desert, the Jerboa clan there told us that it is frequently an occurrence that Jerboamin are kidnapped and kept as pets! Or sold on the black market. We must help save… Benny?
Kappa (as Rou): Another day in the life of an intrepid adventurer. Let’s go.
Wren (as Eight): Yes, we must save Benny. Quickly! A genuine trio of adventurers are here to help you recover your lost friend. Show us to where this occurred and we will find the culprits and bring them to justice.
Dax: Aoife’s still panting at this point.
Dax (as Aoife): Just for a second, [sighs]. I don’t think I’ve ever hopped so fast in my life!
Dax: It is at this point the Jerboa looks up at the three of you.
Dax (as Aoife): Oh. Um… hi?
Kappa (as Rou): Hello.
Dax (as Aoife): Yeah, I can, I can take you to the edge of town where it happened. Barbara!
Dax: Aoife just kind of like gestures at Barbara and then starts climbing up the scaffolding. Did you want to say something, Rou?
Kappa: Oh, no. I was, they said hi and I was like ‘hello’.
Dax: Oh [laughs]. Very awkward, like, ‘hi’. Alright. With that, we will call this session ended and we will find out what happens next session as we search for Benny.
