"Miss Noma," I say gravely. "Glad t'meet you, ma'am. Hope you're settlin' in well." Samuel's lookin' like he's tryna make himself useful, at least, and I glance from him back ta Thorn. But if Noma says she just got here a few minutes ago and she's bin at the Abbey guessin' they didn't come together... "C'n I ask what brought you out?"
"I di'n't see't. Wuz'n bed, but I sensed th'power, smelled th'smoke," Thorn says. Glance 'round t'wards the Carnivale, not that I c'n see it from here, and guess there was one helluva kick ta whatever happened. "Any'a you see what happened, 'sides from one helluva big fire?"
"Sorry," I say, shakin' my head. "Just heard 'bout it second-hand, an' I don't know that she saw much either. Ah..." Take another look around. Hell, don't know what happened here but pretty sure it wasn't some kids gettin' bored and sneakin' all the way out here with a bottle. Ain't never that simple.
"Miss Thorn? I'm guessing... mean, I've heard 'bout some a' your work... mean. Er." I sigh. "I'd sure 'preciate hearin' what you had ta say. If ya could."
