[emeth]

[nameless_hollow]

Good idea. It'll probably wait 'til yer asleep anyway then break down the door to get ya.

[...Or was that a dream when he was sleeping all day? Who knows.]

[emeth]

(Hewie's growling picks up again.)

I - I should go. It might be able to hear me.

[nameless_hollow]

Have fun tryin' not to die.
