"Your turn, Linda." Ydris announces and struts back to Avalon and Evergray. He mutters something that doesn't sound Jorvegian and Evergray coughs dramatically, then laughs.

"Yeah, Sabine.." Alex mumbles.
"Yeah, Sabine!" Anne echoes.
Ydris starts a hushed conversation with Evergray, again, not sounding very Jorvegian. Huh.

I watch as Linda wraps Naomi's arms.
Why bring them back if they're going to suffer?
Blindness isn't a curse, of course, but how do we know those crystals aren't digging into their eyes?
And they obviously can't speak, either.
What were the Soul Riders thinking?

"Stop moving, please." Linda requests, speaking quietly, working carefully.

Lisa pets Starshine through the window.
Anne is scrolling on her phone.

It's oddly calm right now.
