I am here, the healer, Watson and the Little One are with me.

Are you well? Has aught happened?

[devoutish]

Not yet, no. Have you got a name?

[silverfuller]

I am Haurchefant.

[devoutish]

Haurchefant. All right.

Alfie Solomons.

[silverfuller]

Hail.

Pray forgive me if I put niceties aside for the nonce.

What is happening where you are?

[devoutish]

[Wow, the way this guy talks is hilarious. He wishes he were in a situation where he could appreciate it.]

Not very much at all, right now. I'm all locked up. Can't leave the building.

[silverfuller]

Indeed?

Why send a small number of us out and keep the rest locked up?

[Sigh]

This almost seems a wicked game...

[devoutish]

A wicked competition. The man said it himself.

You ever hear from him before?

[silverfuller]

Healthy competition breeds results. But this...

No. I cannot say I know this one.

[devoutish]

Think he's a new face, then? How long have you been here?

[silverfuller]

Nigh on three Moons mayhap?

[He gasps as that sets in.]

By the Fury, three....

[devoutish]

Half a moon, for me. But I have heard you get used to it.

[silverfuller]

Certain things become predictable or a matter of habit but I am not so sure that one ever gets fully acclimated to a place like this.

Just when we think we've sorted something out, something new and equally vexing takes its place.

[devoutish]

You get used to expecting the unexpected, eh?

[silverfuller]

You become used to expecting to suffer.

[A small hum.]

But...The people here do fight valiantly to see an end to this madness, or at least most do.

We are not without hope.

[devoutish]

No.

[Even though, in his quieter moments, he sometimes wonders.]

Nah, mate, I'm not planning to give up.
