Oh, my... are you all right?

[basemettle]

Yes, yes...um...if I wait, I'm sure it will go away...

[whentheroserots]

Are you hurt? You poor thing...

[basemettle]

It seems New Year's Eve was a little too much for me...

[whentheroserots]

You remember New Year's Eve?

[basemettle]

Well -- no -- but -- perhaps I'm mistaken, and everyone wakes up with this kind of pounding, pounding head...

[whentheroserots]

Well, at any rate, why don't we get you home so you can rest that poor head of yours?

I'm the Governess of Aristophanes. You can call me Briar.

[basemettle]

Governess...?

[whentheroserots]

I arrange trades, and I make sure everybody is getting enough to eat.

[basemettle]

Oh...! Then, if I wish for a trade, must it go through you?

[whentheroserots]

Well, no - not if you speak to the other family's Governess. Only one really needs to be involved.

[basemettle]

I see... I'll keep that in mind.

[whentheroserots]

I'd like to ask your role as well, of course! But, perhaps back at home.

[basemettle]

I'm eager to share my talents, of course. Yes, very eager. But you're right, home would be better.
