THEN.. DON'T WORRY. I ASKED HER MYSELF IF YOU'D BE SAFE HERE. BECAUSE.. I DON'T GET IT EITHER. WHY YOU'RE HERE SO SUDDENLY. WHAT.. CHANGED. BUT.. I DON'T KNOW.

I JUST KNOW YOU'RE HERE NOW. AND I'LL KEEP YOU HERE AND SAFE, AS LONG AS YOU STAY OKAY WITH IT.

OH.

OKAY, I GUESS THAT ANSWERS ONE OF MY QUESTIONS ANYWAYS. UM, HI TALBERN, I THINK?

BUT... THAT SOUNDS JUST FINE WITH ME.
