Ohh meme. I've been without power for a day and I can say I'm pretty spoiled with electricity, because I thought I'd go crazy if I had to read through another night. At least we're lucky, some places in our area won't have power until at least tomorrow or maybe even a few days! There was a storm and apparently a tornado that did some damage...

[gets up and hurries over]

Ou'le, drear, did you ever find my boy or that strange person?

[stop_hacking_me]

I did find him, in fact, and he was on his own, not with some nominal brother.

...I take it you haven't seen him?

[palaiomator]

Oh, good--ohh... Oh well, thank you for trying, dear.

No, I haven't... [they didn't part ways in the best circumstances last time, either...]

[stop_hacking_me]

If it isn't prying too much to ask... well, do you know what the matter is with him? He had some sort of manacle on his leg- don't worry, I removed it- and said you'd be upset over it.

[palaiomator]

Ah... y-yes... he... isn't living in the best house at the moment... but I have no control over what happens there.

[not gonna cry not gonna cry]

[stop_hacking_me]

O-oh. So he doesn't live with-
I'm sorry to hear about that.

[palaiomator]

[sniffles and tries not to blink]

No, he doesn't. He's... he's with Sadiq right now.

[stop_hacking_me]

Right. Uhm, if it's any consolation, things do get much better for him... er, somebody likely told you that already, sorry, I know it doesn't make anything better at the moment, but... [fidget]

[palaiomator]

[smiles warmly through her sadness]

Yes, I've met him from this age as well, I'm happy to see he's having a better life. Thank you for the consolation, dear.

[stop_hacking_me]

Ah, it's nothing.
At any rate, I'll still keep my eye out for that odd person you were referring to before, sorry I can't be of more help.

[palaiomator]

[pats on the shoulder]

Ahh, thank you so much, hon! I hope I can find him one day and straighten this out.

[stop_hacking_me]

Really, it's no problem! If I'm going to be here, anyway, I may as well do something useful.

[palaiomator]

Such a kind boy! We're lucky to have you here.

[stop_hacking_me]

Ah, thank you. I try.

[palaiomator]

[beams and nods, having calmed down]

Well, dear, I should be off. Cats to feed and all! Thank you again!

[waves and leaves]

[stop_hacking_me]

It was nice to see you again, ma'am. Bye! [waves]
