That's j- I'm so relieved to hear that. The creepy shadow thing seems to be okay with me.
[ He wouldn't be able to sleep at night thinking otherwise oh wait. ]
If they were, the crow would probably be splitting his time between bonfire squawking and here. [ Which. You know. Thank god he doesn't, 'cause Rafe likes the quiet here. ] No, I think they're tied to us.
⦑ Her tone is pensive, though, curiosity very much piqued. ⦒ So when the new arrivals came... so did more candles? Do you reckon they make for a way to tell if someone passed?
Me either, until I tried [ kicking ] knocking for a follow-up with my new pal.
No, there's a set number of candles far as I can see, that doesn't change. But a lot more were lit after the ferry landed. [ The directory proves a decent kind of a headcount, thanks tablet. ] Possible, though we won't know for sure until the next idiot's stupid enough to get themselves offed.
You may find more success in sketches and notes, with this one. ⦑ Lightly, he can hear that she does something on her tablet, and a moment later, he has an image – while she tried to show as little of the sketch of him as possible, he can likely still guess. More importantly though is the basement-spirit's message: don't take, and the small little 'please'. ⦒
I suppose it is only a matter of time, then. ⦑ Her tone is pragmatic. She doesn't want people to die, per se, but she's always had a bit of an utilitarian approach here. ⦒

[ not that is is even remotely tempted to name names here, rafe. ]
Perhaps the candles are tied to the bonfire somehow.

[ You know, shadowbinding and all. ]
To us? Akin to the lanterns?

[ He'll stick to the nonsentient ones that just do as he tells them to. ]
Maybe not that closely but. You ever notice how many there are? [ Rhetorical question, as evidenced by: ] Adds up to same total as all of us.

⟪ She laughs, in her way, and it's almost a soft sound. Almost a little embarrassed, too. ⟫ I have to fill it somehow.

The lighting was very bad.

No need to get defensive. It's not half bad.
[ and if there's something sharply reminiscent about this conversation, Rafe refuses to let it show. (thank god it's not in person though.) ]
