I think maybe we tell him something happens? I don't know exactly what happened, except there was a fight. Maybe... maybe we give him the option to know? Let him decide?
[That seemed best, right?] I think I would want to have a choice.
Essek and I have been here for more than a year now... and of all the Exandrians who have been here, none have been anyone I have known from back home. But now there is you and Veth and Mollymauk. I wonder if we should expect the others to follow.
I wouldn't tempt it, you know? If all of us are showing up so suddenly, then maybe it is a sign!
We should put together something to prepare everyone. Like 'instructions on surviving your first month' or something!
[Jester's excitement dies down a little.] I'm really glad I'm here with you, Caleb. But I'm sad we're stuck here without everyone else. We all deserve to be home.

Perhaps so. Though she has it in hand.
[Caleb does have to wonder though.]
