"Oh, are things alright there? I saw you th--oh well. Not quite, I suppose." Sam paused, inwardly cringing at himself, having brought up the last moments of Isla's existence as a Unicorn completely instinctively, the thought of her and the beach inevitably leading there. "Sorry. I did hear that the people who came back did so on the beach. I wasn't there to see it, but I'm sure it was amazing."
Really, he was quite annoyed he'd missed it. One of the nicest, most beneficial things the Voice had done, and he'd been in bed early with a book.
"Yes, it's good I'm here to look after it. Jigano...hasn't been around in a long time, and Amalia is...also somewhere..." Sam frowned, not knowing where exactly she was. He supposed that was an upside of his failed stay in Torchline, though, that it had meant he was here now to take care of the Atheneum, which deserved better than to rot into nothing. "There's a lot of medical works here, but there's also a few scrolls in the basement. I can find them for you, if you'd like. I hope that nothing else does happen, though. I've missed you, Isla - friends are hard to come by nowadays."
