"Oh, we're on patrol." Koa looks up as he answers, spine growing straight. "Making sure the road is safe for researchers and travelers. Keeping out the ghosts." He waggles his eyebrows conspiratorially, amused by his joke. "But your thing is way more interesting. What do you do with all the info, once you write it down?"
